Thus you can now download the latest ADB and Fastboot files from Google Developer site.īefore this new development, users had to download Android SDK or Studio, which are a 400MB to 1.6GB download, and rely on 3rd-party sources to grab the ADB and Fastboot drivers. Platform-Tools is a component of the Android SDK and it includes different tools, such as ADB, fastboot, and systray. If you have ever wanted to download ADB and Fastboot without having to download the whole of Android Studio or SDK, Google has finally made those binaries available officially for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can now download the latest ADB and Fastboot tool or Android SDK Platform-Tools zip file depending on your computer’s OS separately. However, if you are just a nerd who messes around your phone for smaller jobs like unlocking the bootloader, flashing boot or recovery image or the full factory images occasionally, downloading the full Android SDK or Studio is no more necessary.
The Android SDK and Android Studio are tools for developers only and they are used for Android application development purposes.
