Just in case it wasn't something weird, here is a link to the SDK25 platform tools with fastboot that works with Pixel. "Scott" posted the link in another thread:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31360541/platform-tools-version_1.0.36-API_25.zip

Thanks for the link I just checked and as you can see in the screenshot below the version you provided me with and the one that appears in the 1.4.1 of MAF is the same actually

:

If you have any questions though please continue to ask them because I'm happy to help out:good:.

If it says you need version 1.0.3.2 or newer then using version 1.4.1 of minimal adb and fastboot which includes adb version 1.0.3.6 should work. But since you said it's not try one of the older versions of minimal adb and fastboot i believe version 1.3 of my tool has adb version 1.0.3.2

. If you still have questions let me know!

ADB and Fastboot on Oneplus X (Onyx) - Win8.1 x64 - fixed, working

I struggled with this setup on my Oneplus X, so thought I would add something to this thread in case it helps someone else ....

I installed various drivers until I found that Minimal ADB and Fastboot 1.4.1 and the ADB Driver program sorted out my installation on my Win8.1 x64 pc.

Simply install Minimal ADB from this thread, disable Signed Driver Enforcement on Windows 8 (read this) and run the ADBdriver tool when the phone is connected to the pc. The ADBdriver tool shows you what the current status is for your driver and confirms (hopefully) that everything is now working when it has finished doing its stuff. Worked first time like a charm with both ADB and Fastboot modes working correctly.

Quite why the Minimal ADB tool from this thread is not sufficient on its own is beyond my comprehension at the moment.

I would like to politely point out that it says in the original post that the drivers are not included in MAF and that is to keep the size of the package as small as possible. If you have any suggestions though or wish to elaborate more on your last sentence of this post I would be happy to listen and consider any feedback

Thank you, for the clarification, I understand now and it was not a helpful statement. Sorry it just my limited knowledge of the details of ADB, Fastboot and android drivers. Also Android drivers, particularly with Windows, seem to be a bit hit and miss in my experience, and a device may be recognised and still not work

Bootloader unlocked, but I'm experiencing Failed "(remote: command not allowed)"

bovirus · Dec 9, 2016

@Caelestiel

Please take care that the request is OT here.
The request is aboutt how to unlock the bootloader.
Is not a request about adb commands.

daitalos · Dec 10, 2016

Awesome ! It works correctly (win 10 x64) ....Thanks

esqueue · Dec 16, 2016

mfastboot VS fastboot

shimp208 said:
minimal adb and fastboot

What are advantages (if any) of using CMD 'mfastboot' VS CMD 'fastboot'?

if I need to flash stock recovery, which of the follwing would work better

Code:

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

or

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

As I understand, the latest version of 'mfastboot' is Ver. 2 and can be downloaded from Using Mfastboot.exe to Unbrick a Motorola

AFAIK mfastboot is for Motorola (Lenovo) devices.
But it's a very long time since I have used either of these. Flashfire can do the same. Unless your device do not boot which I try to avoid

There is bug with flashing big OTA files through ADB:

c:\b>adb sideload update.zip

adb I 3916 6404 adb_trace.cpp:169]
loading: 'update.zip'adb I 3916 6404 sysdeps_win32.cpp:145] load_file: could not allocate 1523890908 bytes

* cannot read 'update.zip' *

File size of update.zip is:

1 523 890 908 - update.zip

Please fix this issue. I need it urgently.

Nothin like a Christmas "Fix this" order... Great spirit man!
Anyhow, maybe you just have not enough space on you device?
If you have, as a workaround, flash from internal...

adb crash after file open. Problem is that adb does not work with those big files. I try to compress update.zip to maximum compression ratio and see if this help. Phone is Xiaomi 3s with bad ota update from Xiaomi (black screen with system ui crashed message) and I want to save user data. So only option is to push new released fixed ota update through adb.

Try to mount internal storage in twrp and copy update.zip there... Then flash from there...
The author of this tool will surely not change adb, you need to address Google for this

halentech · Dec 25, 2016

Phone has stock Xiaomi recovery and locked bootloader. Only way is full flash by MiFlash=lost of user data or push stock ota update through adb. No other way.
