Hey thanks for the update, but both Chrome and Windows Defender are triggering a virus alert instantly on download.

Chrome gets me: minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.1_setup.exe Failed - Virus detected

Windows Defender: Trojan: Win32/Spursint.A!cl

Not sure if its your installer or androidfilehost but figured I'd let ya know!

Thanks for letting me know this is nothing to worry about it's only because I'm not some big developer with a known security certificate and haven't gotten it white listed. But as always MAF is not a Virus so you don't have to worry :)!

@shimp208

Proposal

- Change "MAF32.exe" file name to "CMD-here.exe" (to enhance the sue and not reference to 32/64bit system)

- Add for any current a future version a commands list text file for adb/fastboot commands like the files in the zip attached.

These are definitely good suggestions and will be included in the next version :)!

Have you tried this? https://www.orduh.com/lg-g-pro-3-usb-drivers/
Specifically the removal of older drivers, especially if they are for other LG devices. That often helps.....
And make sure the cable you are using is original LG, not some cheap charge-only cable. Windows should see and install the driver for that phone, even without disabling driver verification.... Something else about your setup ain't right.... Try a different port, the computer of a friend with Win 10 or 7....

I'm having the same problem with it being tagged a virus. How can I get around this and get it downloaded and installed on my PC? Thanks

I had no problem with it being detected as a treat by windows defender, at least until I tried using MAF on a fried's computer. You will take less time getting adb and fastboot set up from other source than to explain you know this thread and know it can be trusted, so if the zips can get modified so to not be detected as a virus, it would be golden XD

If you are having problems with your AV either white-list the application installer, or temporarily disable your AV for a few moments to install MAF. You can also try the portable version .zip which your AV shouldn't flag. I am also looking at code signing certificates to avoid it getting flagged however most commercial ones I have found are extremely expensive (As in Microsoft Authenticode is about $1,000 for 2 year certificate) but I will keep looking :).

Hello, I'm a newbie.
I have Samsung galaxy s 7 edge no root, but I really want to use your app, to turn on and off GPS with the Google maps in Tasker +AutoTools plugin.
My question is there a possibility to tick the Samsung Knox if I'll will use the minimal ADB & fastboot tool to activate secure settings in AutoTools Tasker plugin.
Also I use Samsung Pay too,
So, could you tell me what options I have?
Thank you for your amazing work.

This isn't the place to ask this question.

You'll need root to access the secure settings, check out your device forum for details how to root it, yeh it'll trip Knox and you won't be able to use Samsung pay.

fastboot version 1.0.3.6

Hi there, could you please update the OP to include the newer fastboot?
The 1.0.3.6 version in the OP does not work properly with the Google Pixel variant phones with their dual-partition (a vs b) setup.

Anytime someone ever asks about adb/fastboot, I always, always, always link them to your super helpful thread. Many thanks. :good:

I'm in the process of studying for final exams and writing final papers but when I'm done with those in the next week or so (Or sooner if I get the time) I'll update it :)! And thanks for recommending my tool :good:!

Thanks man I'm not at my computer right now so would you mind telling me what the latest version number of adb is that your referring to?

Hmm, I just ran "adb version" on my working install and it's 1.0.3.6 also.
Maybe it was something in the Android SDK 25 update I took last night that fixes Pixel phone compatibility.
Or maybe my previous ADB/fastboot install was messed up.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

I just did a "fastboot boot boot.img" and phone booted right up within like 40 seconds.
No root though of course (wasn't expecting it).
But I'm just saying this so folks don't feel the need to flash-all.bat.
It put me back on Google kernel (not elemental).

    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.
