Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools

In the eventuality that you want to transfer some photos or videos from your Xiaomi device to Windows desktop to share them with your friends and family, then the simplest way would be to use Mi PC Suite. However, as many users complained, the application does not always work properly.

Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools is a lightweight utility that provides a quick way to manage Xiaomi devices directly on your desktop.

Providing that you already have Java version 11 or later installed on your system, you should be able to run the application without any issues following the download. You can get started by connecting your Xiaomi device to the computer, which may require you to enable USB debugging for the ADB mode and by holding the power and volume buttons down at the same time for the Fastboot mode.

In addition to managing multimedia files, the app packs quite a few advanced features you can experiment with at your own risk. You can uninstall, reinstall, enable and disable system apps and services, tweak screen density by increasing the DPI value or adjust its resolution via the height and width values.

You can find out a lot of details and statistics about the device, reboot, download different ROMs, wipe the cache or perform a factory reset and lock or unlock the bootloader, which is available for Android One devices for now.

While you may be able to view certain functions, it is important to note that you cannot employ them unless your phone is rooted. As the developer points out, if you want to take advantage of modules such as Flasher, Wiper or Camera2 you need an unlocked bootloader. Nevertheless, all the other functions included in Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools should be working just fine without any rooting.
