How to Install and Fully Setup ADB (Android Debug Bridge) – Step-by-Step Guide
However, unlocking and rooting your device comes with its own security risks and we are not even talking about the risk of bricking your device. Isn’t there another way to perform these tasks? Well, there is, let me introduce you to ADB commands for Android devices.
