Install and set up ADB on Windows 10

in #adb8 years ago

Hi Guys, today I want to show you how to install ADB on your windows 10 computer.

Q: What do you need ADB for?

A: ADB (Android Developer Bridge) is used for communication between your android smartphone and your computer. You can 1) install or delete apps, 2) send or receive data from your phone, 3) install Custom ROMS, Custom Recoveries, Custom Kernels or install the Stock firmware, if anything went wrong. ADB is also required to unlock your bootloader and root your phone.

How to install it:

  1. Install ADB

    Download the ADB Zip file and extract the ZIP file Create a folder at C:\adb and move the contents of ZIP to this
    directory (https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip).

    If you finished this step, you can use ADB via the command prompt. To use it, hold down the "shift" button and right
    click in the folder to "open a command window here". To make the use of ADB easier, you can add ADB to your
    environment variables, so you do not have to be in the ADB folder at C:\adb if you want to use it.

  2. Set up ADB as environment variable

    i) Right click on "My Computer" and select "Properties"
    ii) Select "Advanced system settings" on the left and click the "advanced" tab
    iii) There you click on the "environment variables" button.
    iv) Scroll down and select "Path", then "edit"
    v) Add this string at the end of the variable:

    if you are using 32-bit system: ;C:\adb\platform-tools\

    if you are using 64-bit system: ;C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\android-
    sdk\tools;C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\

    Replace YOURUSERNAME with your username.

    vi) click "ok"

  3. Press the "windows key" and enter "cmd" and hit "enter"

  4. A command prompt will appear, enter "adb start-server"

      * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
      * daemon started successfully *
    

if you receives this massage, ADB ist set up and available.

An instruction on how to set up your phone will follow shortly.
