scheme for platform-tools (adb, fastboot, etc.) with their own scheme and don't keep
|
||||
it up-to-date despite that being crucial.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If your distribution doesn't have a proper fastboot package, which is likely,
|
||||
consider using the official releases of platform-tools from Google. You can either
|
||||
obtain these as part of the standalone SDK or Android Studio which are self-updating
|
||||
or via the standalone platform-tools releases. For one time usage, it's easiest to
|
||||
obtain the <a href="https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools">latest
|
||||
standalone platform-tools release</a>, extract it and add it to your <code>PATH</code>
|
||||
in the current shell. For example:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>unzip platform-tools_r29.0.1-linux.zip
|
||||
export PATH="$PWD/platform-tools:$PATH"</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Sample output from <code>fastboot --version</code> afterwards:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>fastboot version 29.0.1-5644136
|
||||
Installed as /home/username/downloads/platform-tools/fastboot</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Don't proceed with the installation process until this is set up properly in your
|
||||
current shell. A very common mistake is using an outdated copy of
|
||||
<code>fastboot</code> from a Linux distribution package not receiving regular updates.
