Fastboot/ADB & Phone drivers Without Admin rights

Any way to setup a computer with ADB and Fastboot without admin rights? Can I setup up a flash drive with Fedora or Ubuntu, boot into that and get access? If so how do you set up drivers and adb on a linux distro.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

I'm using Linuxmint 12 and I have ADB setup. Just click on the other platforms option and it gives you a pretty accurate description of how to set it up on linux.
I'm actually having a problem with using "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" on the bootloader unlock process because I get an error in the terminal saying the fastboot command isn't recognized in the terminal.

On Linux, I'm pretty sure all you need is the adb or fastboot executable. However, you must run it as root (either sudo or su into root). You can grab the exectuables by download the Android SDK.

If it's saying it can't find the fastboot executable, you're probably not in the same folder as fastboot. Type 'ls' and see if you see fastboot in the list. If it's not there, it won't work.

Hi,
is it just me or is there no answer to the question of the first post? Is there any way to install adb on a win Pc without admin rights?
regards

Root Honor 8 With A Mac

So i have an honor 8 (frd-l09) and i want to root it. The problem is that i only have an mac (that my school gave to me). Any applications or methods that could help me??

HI Samer
Its not entirely different from windows method..Below are some steps to follow:
1) As part of the instructions you would have seen the commands to run adb and fastboot.. For these download the Mac version of platform tools from the below link - https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
2) To run these commands move all the necessary custom recovery files to the folder where the adb and fastboot files exist.
3) You will have to follow the methods listed in the forum like this one, for instance unlock the bootloader, install custom rom and run the SuperSu or Magisk Manager files
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946
4) Only thing to note is when you run the adb or fastboot commands use "./" before the commands for instance - $ ./adb devices
5) Follow the instructions and you should be able to do it
Do let me know if you have any trouble doing it

How to fix adb devices list is empty?

So I want to flash stock rom back but when flashing my laptop freeze and I cannot do anything....tried many times and same problem..try run adb command in platform tool and adb device list not showing my pixel..how to fix this problem?

The first time I got my pixel I had to manually install drivers from the official android developers website, after that my PC detected my phone when in ADB and fastboot.
Make sure you also have the latest platform tools (28.0.2), get them from here

The latest is actually 29.0.1. They haven't been updating the changelog. Try to download it now, and you'll see.

adb offline

Hello everyone. Is it possible to have the latest version of adb fastboot offline? Thanks.

For Windows computer here you go:
[TOOL][Windows][Script]Get & Install Latest Official ADB & Fastboot Drivers
Most ADB-FASTBOOT installers are provided in UPXed .EXE-file format hence it's not transparent what they are internally doing unless you decompile it. So I decided to write the whole thing as a Windows CMD script thus everyone should can read...

Op7pro not responding to fastboot commands

Hey, im having trouble finding working ways to root my op7pro GM1913 (OOS 11.0.4.1 GM21BA)
Ive been trying this https://www.xda-developers.com/unlock-bootloader-root-oneplus-7-pro/
Currently trying to unlock bootloader. (Step 2)
I can connect via adb but when i go to bootloader/fastboot i lose connection to the phone.
Ive tried regular adb command tools and "TOOL ALL IN ONE" When the phone is on it responds to adb commands but when i need fastboot commands its not working and i can see the device id dissapear from the all in one tool.
I have tried multiple usb ports (2.0 and 3.0) and multiple usb C cords (Op oem + Samsung) Tried removing Windows signature verification and installing oneplus usb drivers, but it gets stuck at "Execute the commands..." (99% or so) When i try again it finds some installation files. When im in bootloader, Windows device manager still shows a generic android phone. Oem unlocking and usb debugging is on, also set default usb configuration to file transfer. No help.
I want to keep Oxygen os, but i want to be rooted and have magisk, preferably TWRP too but im open to other ways.
Windows 10 20H2 if that matters. (Latest update for me)
Oneplus 7pro GM1913 (Eu nordic)
Oxygen os 11.0.4.1 GM21BA

Download a Linux distro and install adb and fastboot like this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-unlock-flash-root-for-the-pixel-2-xl-taimen.3702418/
Just download adb and fastboot tools package from Google, extract it,open command prompt inside where you extract it and enter these in terminal:
sudo install adb dmtracedump e2fsdroid etc1tool fastboot hprof-conv make_f2fs mke2fs mke2fs.conf sload_f2fs sqlite3 /usr/local/bin
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib64
sudo install lib64/libc++.so /usr/local/lib64
Then adb --version (enter) fastboot --version (enter) like Nathan says in guide. Super easy and I guarantee you if you go this route you won't have any hiccups. Sounds like stupid windblows driver issues or outdated adb/fastboot tools. One of the two. Are you flipping on dev options and check marking little box that pops up on your phone to allow it to communicate with PC? A simple : adb devices (enter) should make it appear on phone screen. You don't even have to install Linux, you can boot it off a live USB. Takes about one minute to make one. If you make one you can boot the live USB , download adb and fastboot, and install as Nathan's guide says then reboot when you are done and your back in windblows. IDK why anyone wouldn't want Linux installed though. Best decision I ever made was switching from windows to Linux about 9 years ago. It really makes anything you do to your devices MUCH easier to do!! This may sound stupid but have you rebooted your PC? Because you will definitely need to , probably more than once on windblows to get it to work.

Thank you for the reply. No stupid questions, yes i tried rebooting pc/phone. Ill try your way and report in a couple days.

Solution is simple. From Android 11 on, OnePlus (and Android phones in general) uses the universal drivers, you just need to install them in Windows in order to use fastboot commands. See my answer in this post.

There are a few things you can try if your OP7 Pro is not responding to fastboot commands:
1. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your phone.
2. Try using a different USB cable.
3. If you're using Windows, try running the fastboot commands from a command prompt with administrator privileges.
4. Try booting your phone into recovery mode and running the fastboot commands.
