How to Install and fully Set up ADB (Android Debug Bridge) - Step-by-step Guide

In this guide I will show you how to install and implement ADB commands in Windows Teminal or PowerShell (Windows 11 and Windows 10).
Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a versatile command-line tool that lets you communicate with a device. The ADB command facilitates a variety of device actions, such as installing and debugging apps, and it provides access to a Unix shell that you can use to run a variety of commands on a device.

• Microsoft PowerShell: www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/pow...
• ADB Cheat Sheet by Automate The Planet Ltd.: www.automatetheplanet.com/adb...
🧐 tl;dr
1. Download and extract SDK Platform Tools.
developer.android.com/studio/...
2. Create a folder named "Android" in "C:\" drive.
3. Copy and paste the "platform-tools" folder in "C:\Android".
4. Search for "This PC". Right click it and click "Properties". Scroll at the bottom and click "Advanced system settings". On the new window click "Environment Variables...".
5. Double click the "Path" variable in System variables. Click "New" and paste "C:\Android\platform-tools" as value. Now you have implemented ADB with Windows Terminal.
6. Turn on USB Debugging on your Android phone and connect it to your PC.
7. Open your terminal of choice, type "adb devices" and push ENTER.
8. Tap "Allow" on your phone.
9. Congrats. Now you can use the ADB commands you want!

[@KangGalonKesayangan]

thank you bro i love you T_T i've looking at this tutor anywhere and find it here

[@TheEvdiggity]

Thanks man! I needed this to enable long press (volume up) to skip tracks in PowerAmp. A feature I missed from my old rooting days (RIP HTC). So glad to have it on my new phone, I should be able to enjoy this feature for years to come. Things were a little bit different on Windows 11 but thankfully I have not yet completely lost my mind so I was able to figured it out 🤪 Thanks again!

[@CatarsiSol]

Thank you kindly, pal!

[@mhlovepark6047]

[@CrewieAustin]

Say adb is not recognized

[@ArslanAXE]

thanks it really helped

[@ramgopal24]

Thanks .. have been able to get through to adb logcat ... :)

[@ramsesracela3042]

Hi, in the end at 4:50 what do you mean by "click the command that is given at the app"???

[@BredzPro]

Hello! I mean "type the command". 😅 At that moment the adb installation is finished. I was giving an example of how you can use it. For example, you may use it to grant permission to an app (that asks for it).

[@vietcongarmy1483]

Still working, thanks a bunch

[@vinayyemula]

Amazing bro very helpful 👍

[@maggiekhasu1609]

you are Awesome! thankk you so much

[@malco-]

Great Thank. worthy and helpful

[@lifeispaddle5089]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@abesview5855]

AMAZING!

[@MinhNguyen-mj6ef]

thanks i did it! may i ask if I can clear the DNS cache the same way to the pc with these configs ipconfig /flushdns netsh int ipv4 reset netsh int ipv6 reset netsh winhttp reset proxy netsh winsock reset ipconfig /registerdns would it do the same thing on the pc (window 11)?

[@nolab2889]

What app are you talking about at the end when you have to grant the app?? Im confused

[@BredzPro]

I am not talking about one specific app. I'm talking about some apps which require adb permissions to work correctly. (For example, "bixbi button" is an app that remaps the Bixby button in Samsung Galaxy devices. But for it to fully work it needs adb permissions. )

[@saifuzzaman7176]

Thanks man!!

[@zeddysammys6773]

It actually works.. thanks

[@FarrelRvno]

this keeps popping adb : The term 'adb' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1

[@danielkruizinga617]

thank you, I enjoyed the video

[@valeriabeneke5879]

Hello, in a previous video you mentioned we could use this to boot the recovery mode on our phone. I have a Samsung S10 lite so the other method (of connecting the USB-c headphones) doesn't work. If I were to use this method, what should I type? I am sorry I have 0 experience with this ajjaja but any help is appreciated! Should it be "adb reboot recovery" after "adb devices" and identifying my phone?

[@valeriabeneke5879]

I tried this but it does not recognize my device and I have the USB debugging on

[@BredzPro]

Yes it should be like that. The phone should be on and unlocked. USB Debugging also on.

[@BredzPro]

@@valeriabeneke5879 Hmmm. At Developer options do revoke access to all PCs.

[@husseinsslehi4428]

good explenation thanks

[@martimbarreiros7558]

the command prompt keeps saying "adb : term 'adb''is not recodnised as the name cmdlet, function script file, or operable program" why doesn't it work?

[@abelmathews6665]

thank you so much this guy is goated
