In this tutorial, I'll be explaining how to setup or install ADB and Fastboot including their drivers

00:30
I won't get down to breaking down what ADB & Fastboot are for but basically, they're command line tools which

00:39
are very useful when you want to tweak or modify anything on an Android phone. Just look up what they're

00:49
for. What we'll be needing for this is just the installer although there's a manual method you could use

00:56
but to make it easier for you to setup, I'll be using an installer method. First download the setup installer

01:04
[link in description]. Run as Administrator in case you run into some privilege issues. Alright! I click Yes

01:27
Here's the setup. For this part, it says Do you want to install adb and fastboot. I Tap the y key and Enter

01:44
Next option is install adb system-wise [car horn] i.e do you want to install adb for all users or a particular

01:55
which is going to be C:\users\user-name. I want to install it system-wide i.e anybody can access adb

02:06
So I leave it as Yes (y) here and tap Enter. I'll just give it time to install. Now, its done installing as you can see

02:24
Its asking me do you want to install device drivers. These drivers are your Android USB drivers

02:32
which is going to help your PC communicate with your phone when connected via USB cord. Of course

02:39
you would want to install these drivers so I just select y (Yes) here and tap Enter. A wizard pops up.

02:50
click Next - Finish and you're done. I want to be sure my adb is all set up so what you do is go to the C:

03:04
You can see the adb folder, open it. Now, to launch adb, if you double-click this, all you'll get is this

03:19
which is what most people do. You're not supposed to double-click. This is not how you run adb or fastboot

03:32
To run it what you'll need to do is look at your keyboard (laptop or desktop PC), you hold down the Shift button

03:40
While holding down your Shift button, you right-click on.. you need to unselect if highlighting any item

03:53
like this (else) it going to give you an issue. Click on any empty space here (to unhighlight)

04:06
While holding down Shift, your right-click. You can release your Shift at this point. From the menu

04:22
here, you just click Open command window here. You'll have your command line interface. From here, I can

04:31
I have my phone connected to the PC [reconnecting] to test that my adb is working, I just type adb devices

04:49
and I press Enter. My device is detected so that means my adb is all set up. I could go ahead to test fastboot

05:01
so I boot into fastboot with my phone connected with adb reboot-bootloader and press Enter to enter fastboot

05:21
Once the phone is in fastboot, I am good to go on my commands. What I have on my phone is fastboot mode..

05:42
with a blanks screen. I'll run a fastboot command to be sure my fastboot is also working.I'll say fastboot devices

05:57
Alright! My device is detected. That's how to setup ADB & fastboot on your Windows PC --------------------------
