Linux Mint 21.03, Platform Tools, Fastboot, Version Update Problem

n3t_admin

GarpheneOSNutzer It's a direct download link, so entering it in a browser won't work.

It's best if you just go to the official site and download the Linux version. Save it to your Downloads directory.

GarpheneOSNutzer

And when I enter the link in the web browser, I get the error message 404 Error.

GarpheneOSNutzer

All right, I've done it. The file is saved in the Downloads folder.

n3t_admin

GarpheneOSNutzer awesome!

For the rest, (please check that the zip file is named "platform-tools-latest-linux.zip") run this:

sudo unzip ~/Downloads/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip && mv ~/Downloads/platform-tools/adb /bin/adb && mv ~/Downloads/platform-tools/fastboot /bin/fastboot && echo "ADB and fastboot are now installed"

GarpheneOSNutzer

The following text is displayed:

Archive: /home/linux/Downloads/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
replace platform-tools/NOTICE.txt? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename:

What should I select?

n3t_admin

GarpheneOSNutzer select A (and I suspect the zip command actually worked before, but nevermind - just let it run)

Damn, I was so confident that it would work now... What can I do now? Everything should be fine, right?

n3t_admin

GarpheneOSNutzer I have no idea what is happening.
If you run fastboot --version - does it show anything?

GarpheneOSNutzer

GarpheneOSNutzer mv: Unable to call stat for ‘/home/linux/Downloads/platform-tools/adb’: File or directory not found

GarpheneOSNutzer

Am I doing something wrong, or is it really that difficult to install Fastboot?

GarpheneOSNutzer

When I enter the command “fastboot --version,” nothing is displayed. It probably wasn't installed.

n3t_admin

GarpheneOSNutzer if you go to that directory in your file manager (so that's /home/linuxDownloads/platform-tools) - do you see adb or fastboot in there?

GarpheneOSNutzer

I entered the exact name of the file, but it cannot be found.

GarpheneOSNutzer

n3t_admin Then I only see the zip file: platform-tools-latest-linux.zip

But no unzipped file.

n3t_admin

GarpheneOSNutzer okay, unzip it. Go to that unzipped directory in your terminal (so that should be /home/linux/Downloads/platform-tools). Run an ls -la and post the output pls.

GarpheneOSNutzer okay, perfect. adb and fastboot are there.
Just stay in this directory, we're almost there.

Now run sudo cp adb /bin/adb

and post the output (if any).
Or just try to confirm it's installed by running adb --version

GarpheneOSNutzer

Please excuse my mistake.
