I just wanted to let you know that We’ve launched YouTube Channel where we upload awesome video content. Fastboot isn’t enabled for all phones, so you may have to check your specific device. You can’t flash whole ROMs with it, but it’s helpful for many things that ADB can’t do. This allows you to send commands to the bootloader, which means you can flash/modify things like custom recoveries. Fastboot: When you need to modify your phone’s firmware, fast boot is the tool you need.

While ADB is often used in conjunction with rooting or modifying your phone, you can use ADB to send terminal commands to unrooted devices as well. You can send commands while the phone is turned on and booted, or even when it’s in recovery mode.

Android Debug Bridge (ADB): This tool allows you to send a wide array of terminal commands-including but not limited to basic Linux shell commands, plus some specialty developer commands-to your phone at just about any time (as long as you have debugging enabled on your phone).
