From cce6d66b10a48942e1da8a9bd8d88dad54fe76ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Micay Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2020 18:01:29 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] make it harder to mess up obtaining fastboot This removes the link to the platform-tools releases page to discourage using another approach to downloading and extracting it. The most common mistake made by users is doing this their own way and ending up without fastboot in their shell's path. --- static/install.html | 15 ++++++++------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/static/install.html b/static/install.html index e4734b9b..27ac3c10 100644 --- a/static/install.html +++ b/static/install.html @@ -154,13 +154,14 @@

Standalone platform-tools

-

If your operating system doesn't make a proper version of fastboot available, - consider using the - standalone - releases of platform-tools from Google. If you have the Android SDK or intend to - do development work, you install the platform-tools package via the Android SDK - package manager which can be used to keep it up-to-date. The Android SDK is available - by itself or can be obtained via Android Studio.

If your operating system doesn't include a usable version of fastboot, + you can use the official standalone releases of platform-tools. This is + our recommendation for most users. The flashing process won't work unless + you follow these instructions including setting up PATH. If you close and + reopen the terminal after doing this, you'll need to set PATH again in the + new terminal.
