See here for instructions on downloading the latest Android SDK, and thus fastboot, for your computer. Please note that fastboot commands will ONLY work while the device is in fastboot mode. On your computer, you then run the fastboot tool to issue commands. Then you boot to the “fastboot mode” on the device. Typically your device first is connected to your computer via a USB cable. There are two “sides” to using fastboot– the computer side and the device side. Not all devices support fastboot, but many do. Fastboot can also be used for developer operations like unlocking the bootloader of Google’s Nexus devices. In fact, it’s frequently the preferred way to initially install the recovery image on many devices. It is an alternative to the recovery mode for doing installations and updates.īecause fastboot mode can start on your device even before Android loads (and can even run when Android isn’t installed at all), fastboot mode is useful for updating the firmware quickly, without having to use a recovery mode.
