Spoiler: What is ADB?

ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is a tool that is installed along with the Android-SDK and allows you to control your Android device.
Works on all Android devices, where this functionality was not intentionally blocked by the manufacturer.
Hereinafter: PC - PC, a computer to which the device is connected.
ADB - console application for PC, which is used to debug Android devices, including emulators.
It works on a client-server principle. The first time you run ADB with any command, it creates a server as a system service (daemon) that will listen to all the commands sent to port 5037.
The official page
ADB allows you to:
See what devices are connected and can work with ADB.
View logs.
Copy files to/from device.
Install/Uninstall applications.
Delete (clear) the data section.
Flash (overwrite) the data section.
Run various control scripts.
Control some network parameters.
ADB is supplied as part of the Android Developer's Toolkit (Android SDK), which in turn is part of Android Studio.

Spoiler: Installing

Unpack the archive (it is recommended to unpack to the root of the disk or to another folder that does not contain Russian letters and spaces in the path). For example: C:\\adb
Connection settings, devices. Drivers.
We set up the phone.
To do this, go to: "Settings" - "About phone" - press the build number 7 times. In settings for developers activate debugging via USB.
When the USB cable is connected, select "File Transfer".
Check the connection on the computer.
Go to the previously unpacked utilities folder. In it, in the address bar of the folder, at the top, type - "cmd" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
Check if the device is available and if the drivers are installed correctly. To do this, run an adb or fastboot command:
adb devices
fastboot devices
If everything is good, the drivers are installed successfully and the phone is connected correctly - you will see the following answer:
<device serial number> device
or
<serial number of device> fastboot

The installation I described earlier all the actions Briefly

Spoiler: How to use

Since adb/fastboot are console utilities, you have to work with them from the command line.
Go to the previously unpacked folder with the utilities. In it, in the address bar of the folder, at the top, write - "cmd" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
Then work through the commands you need.

Spoiler: Commands

Been working on android since 2012.
I made custom firmware for fun.
Then I got tired of it.
Phones are the great Evil now.
They've turned into terminal servers.

 

If you need a script personally for your phone, so you do not suffer and do not delete unnecessary things from the phone, so as not to turn it into a dead brick!
Write me the brand of phone I'll make you a script personally on your phone.
Two variants
a) make for 3 hours it will be paid (20 US) transfer on WebMoney
b) wait for two weeks - it will be free
No time to deal
Make just a couple of actions

Spoiler: CMD

0.Load platform-tools
1.Turn on developer mode on your phone
2.Go into developer mode
3.Check the box for USB debugging
4.plug in the USB cable
5.Install drivers on the phone from the phone
Run command line
Enter command line:
(Specify the path platform-tools folder put the C: drive )
cd C:\platform-tools
Then type
adb devices
adb shell

pm list packages

copy the whole pm list send me and I will make a script which you will enter and remove everything you don't need and block the telemetry.

 

You made me laugh (money deals).
I remotely service four companies, so I have a fixed deal going to fix problems.
1 hour = 40.715 US
Three to seven connections a day.
We all earn by our hard work.

And the forum is more of a humanitarian aid rather than a bargain

 

Spoiler: way

It's simple.
0.Load platform-tools
1.Turn on developer mode on your phone
2.Go into developer mode
3.Check the box for USB debugging
4.plug in the USB cable
5.Install drivers on the phone from the phone
Run command line
Enter command line:
(Specify the path platform-tools folder put the C: drive )
cd C:\platform-tools
Then type
adb devices
adb shell
Type and you will see a list of all the junk you have installed.
pm list packages
In the playlist you will see Android applications
Choose unnecessary (depends on phone brand) Uninstall
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>

This method works on any phone.
Everything will work and update
The main thing is not to touch the main system work files.
