It works

It works!

Since I am constantly reinstalling windows, downloading the Android sdk just to get adb and fastboot is a pita. This is a handy little install. Great job!!

adb-shell

Sorry for the noob question/s but I was wondering if this includes the ability to get to the adb shell so I can run terminal commands such as executes scripts, edit scripts, mv, cp etc.... Also what exactly does this not have the ability to do say compared to a full install so I can see if this is the route I want. Regardless, thanks for the tool you put so much work into.

Can it at lest do all the following: http://www.androidcentral.com/android-201-10-basic-terminal-commands-you-should-know

The other tools and packages that come with the SDK is not needed for anything on the list you linked
The only things mentioned were adb commands and fastboot commands and this tool is a full install of both programs
The "minimal" just refers to only downloading adb.exe and fastboot.exe, again all you need for what you linked

Adding on to what demkantor did an excellent job of explaining, since this tool includes ADB, adb shell is included as well as adb shell is a standard part of the adb.exe file which this tool includes. Yes, you will be able to run adb shell commands with this tool and all the commands in the article you linked to. The full Android SDK includes everything you would need if you wanted to develop your own Android Apps such as platform examples, Google API's, and other SDK components which you can find more information on what the full Android SDK includes here . Overall, glad you like the tool if you would like me to show you how to write your own ADB scripts or have any other questions about this tool let me know I'll be happy to answer them.

Add a path in Windows Path environment variable

Great work @shimp208 :good:

Decided to use this instead on the annoying full SDK giving me grief when updating :mad:

For those interested in having ADB commands working from any path, i.e. you don't have to be in folder "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" for things to work like files to be flashed...etc.

You can always add a path in Windows Path environment variable:

- right-click on My Computer, and select Properties
- under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button
- in the dialog that comes up, under System Variables double-click on Path
- Add ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot to the Path variable (or wherever it was installed)

You might need to restart Windows and you are good to go!

In order for Minimal ADB and Fastboot to function correctly you will need to download and install the drivers for your device. I would recommend going to the Karbonn mobile site to the download section where you should be able to find the drivers for your phone.

If you are still able to get into recovery mode then I would recommend taking a look at this A21 firmware and flashing it in recovery to see if that fixes your problem.

error-14001

incorrect configuration

help?

What version of Windows are you running? Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows? Error 14001 usually refers to a Windows executable that can't start because of a problem with the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime try uninstalling and re-installing it from here. Let me know if your problem persists I'll be happy to try and help you fix it as best I can :).

    Introduction

    ADB and Fastboot are arguably two of the most indispensable tools used when working with Android devices. If you really want to modify, debug, and tweak along with their countless uses in rooting, and other procedures ADB and Fastboot are a must for any Android device owner. Typically if you want to install ADB and Fastboot you have to download and setup the Android SDK (If you really want to learn about Android Development I highly recommend downloading and installing the full Android SDK from here), but this can be unnecessary for people who just want to install ADB and Fastboot. To simply the process I created a windows installer that will install the latest version of ADB and Fastboot for you quickly and easily. The total installation of Minimal ADB and Fastboot is around 2 MB in size (Compared to the 90+ MB size of the Android SDK Tools, and 425+ MB size of the complete Android SDK) making it very lightweight.

    Features

    • Easily Install ADB and Fastboot with a simple to use installer
    • Lightweight, total installation around 2 MB in size
    How to Install

    Prerequisites
    • Your device is plugged into your computer
    • You have USB Debugging enabled under Developer Options (Note: This may be listed as ADB Debugging on some ROM's)
    • You have installed the necessary drivers and your computer is recognizing your device

    1. Download the Minimal ADB and Fastboot setup.exe from here
    2. Follow the Installers instructions and select where you would like to install Minimal ADB and Fastboot too (For simplicity I choose to install it to the Desktop)
    3. After you have chosen where to install Minimal ADB and Fastboot too select whether you would like to create a Start Menu Folder or not for the instalation
    4. Once you have chosen where to install it to and if you want to create a Start Menu Folder select the install option
    5. After the Installation Wizard has completed you can select to start Minimal ADB and Fastboot
    6. You can also start Minimal ADB and Fastboot by navigating to the Start Menu Folder you choose to create during installation or the desktop shortcut you choose to create and selecting Minimal ADB and Fastboot
    7. You should now see a command window open, with the command window open you can now issue ADB and Fastboot commands to your device

    For more information on issuing commands to your device using ADB and Fastboot I would recommend taking a look at this guide on ADB and this guide on Fastboot.
