How to install ADB Drivers & Fastboot on any Android Phone (Easy Guide)

There are two simple tools which install Fastboot and ADB Drivers in just a few seconds. They are called “15 seconds ADB Installer” and “Minimal ADB and Fastboot”.

Minimal ADB and Fastboot:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the name says, this tool is very small in size. The complete package is only 2 MB. In comparison, the size of Android SDK tools is 90+ MB and the size of the entire Android SDK package is more than 400 MB. So, it is a good idea to install ADB and Fastboot using this tool.

Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool from here.

How to install

• Enable USB debugging and install the USB drivers for your phone.
• Download the tool from the link above and run the .exe file.
• Choose the location where you want to install the tool.

15 seconds ADB Installer

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, this is a tool which can install ADB drivers within 15 seconds. There is no need to download the entire Android SDK package just to install the drivers.

How to install:

• Download the tool and run the .exe file.

• The tool will ask you to install three things:
  1. ADB and Fastboot
  2. ADB system-wide
  3. Drivers
• For each of the options, press the “Y” key to select Yes and install or “N” to skip it.

• Wait 15 seconds for all the required files to install.

• That is it.

Now you can safely connect your phone to your computer and install custom ROMs, kernels and whatever you want sending commands from your PC to your phone. However, if you are interested in learning how to develop and how Android apps work, it is better to install the full SDK.

The full SDK will let you do more things as it has a lot more features implemented, considering it is 400 MB. Also, if you own a Nexus device, it will be easier to download and flash factory images.
