Hello everyone We are studying the Android smartphone further, today we will think about what is apply update from ADB. So, after digging around on the Internet, I came to the conclusion that apply update from ADB is an item in android menu system recovery. But what does this item do? I went looking ... So the apply update from ADB item is needed in order to install the firmware

Well, what is the translation into Russian, that's how apply update from ADB is translated then? Hmm, let's break it down! The first word apply is translated as apply or use.

Apparently all the same, the command must be entered on the computer! And I thought that in a smartphone ... Well, I found out, I was just very interested ..

By the way, after the command is entered, the entire firmware process can take about 15 minutes, which is somehow long ..
