Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile command line tool that lets you communicate with an emulator instance or connected Android-powered device.

This tool is my first attempt in making such kind of tool. It is an executable application and I have included the required things with it but make sure to install all the required drivers. This tool can be used for the following things:

+ Flashing .img files.(Includes, system, userdata and kernel)

+ Flashing .sin files.(Includes, system, userdata and kernel)

+ Flashing .elf files. (Includes, system, userdata and kernel)

+ Rebooting in 3 ways and power-off via adb.

+ Installing APKs

+ Debloating .587 firmware with various options for user ease.

+ Flashing bootanimation

+ Pulling various APK files from phone.

+ Pushing various APK files to phone.

+ Zipping files and extracting zips.

+ FTF Maker and extractor

+ APK Packer & Extractor

How to use this tool and what are the requirements for it?

All the instructions are included in the tool and before using this tool, make sure you have:

+ A rooted phone(nearly all it's functions are for rooted phones) with USB debugging enabled.

+ Phones drivers installed.

+ A recovery installed.(CWM recommended)

+ Bit knowledge of android, adb and fastboot.

+ Make sure your brain is not bricked. :p

FAQ:

Q. This function doesn't work. What now?

A. Just report here and i'll fix it. :)

Q. Why is it in this forum?

A. Some of it's options like de-bloat menu are mainly made for Xperia 2011 MDPI so it's best if I post here.

Changelog:

v2
-Rebuilt completely from scratch
-Removed option to flash recovery.img as it was really unuseful
-Added option to extract ftf's also.
-Now while flashing any kind of sin, img or elf files you will have a menu to select from various files. So no need to remove previous file before flashing new one. :good:
-Added scripts separately as the main file became very messy no everyone can easily use the code.
-Fixed a hell lots of bugs.
-And reverted back to batch script so that users can easily see the source code :D
v1

-Added APK Packer and extractor

v0.3
-Added flashing elf system and userdata also.

-Added flashing recovery.img option.

v0.2

-Changed batch script to exe file for better UI and more customization and for hiding my source :p
-Removed the logs feature since it wasn't working properly but don't worry i'll add it once I fix it. :)

v0.1

Important notes and tips:

+ While you boot in fastboot mode please wait for some time till the PC recognizes your phone and loads the appropriate drivers.(Only first time needed)

+ Make sure you close asll the adb based tools before this like SUS, PCC, Flashtool, Rooting Toolkits, etc. Or else go to TaskManager in your PC and end the adb.exe and fastboot.exe processes.

+ Always make a backup before doing anything.

Firstly thanks to everyone who helped me. I might have forgotten your name, so please remind me or PM me. And yes this list is alphabetical so I didn't compared anyone.
