Android Platform Tools
great but the phone crashes immandently.
Maybe add steps, on Linux at least, on how to compile the platform-tools from source (like for arm Linux)? In any case, thanks! The "right" way to get the binaries is to use the 3 Download links (below) from https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools It seems each link is supposed to popup a form saying "Before downloading, you must agree to the following terms and conditions..." Until the "agree" box is checked, the download link is grayed-out. But the "right" way did not work for me, as the agreement-form never pops up on chrome on my Chromebook, not even in incognito mode: that is, nothing happens when I click any of these:
- Download SDK Platform-Tools for Windows
- Download SDK Platform-Tools for Mac
- Download SDK Platform-Tools for Linux
The brave browser (installed via chromebrew/sommalier) does pop up the form on same chromebook. I suspect the reason nothing happens in chrome when I click the above might be some sort of popup blocker or privacy cookie blocker. But I won't waste time trying to figure out why, because the links you give allow me to download without having first agreed to any terms. My Intel chromebook in dev mode with chromebrew then can run the tools for Linux if I unzip in /usr/local/tmp
