Install adb newer than 1.0.31

Hi! I am struggling to install an updated adb version. I had the 1.0.31 installed, probably from xda but I am not sure, and need a newer one because I am trying to flash a rom to a TWRP loader which ask me for at least the 1.0.32.
I surfed internet and tryied a lot of things, but maybe because my not deep linux knowledge I am not achieving it. Let's list some options I tried:
1- XDA:
https://www.xda-developers.com/install- ... cos-linux/
I downloaded it and placed the terminal in the folder where the packet is and typed "adb", "sudo adb" and "adb devices", but the answer I have is "incorrect executable format" I tried to change the adb archive I download with the one I have installed of my old adb installation with "sudo mv adb /usr/bin/adb" and then "sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/adb", but a similar error appear
2-
https://xiaomifirmware.com/guides-and-t ... rivers-pc/
The same than before
3- FROM DEBIAN:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/arm64/a ... b/download
I installed synaptic and added the repository but I had a problem with the GPG signature so I trid to manually install it with the terminal. I writed "sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb" and now the problem is it seems I messed too much with the packets. It says something about dependencies, or through synaptic it seems they are "broken paquets", and I can't fix them with synaptic.
So now I am worst than before, because I have something wrong in my linux.... I am really tired of that hell of errors!! Can someone help me with this?
Thanks

What you downloaded in 1 and 2 run on x86 machines.
You do not say what OS you tried to use 3 with but Raspbian is a 32 bit OS, not arm64.

Aaahh.... of course! How can't I figured it out by myself?
Reading in "internet" I arrived at the conclusion that I can only get a updated adb from the android SDK, so I went to the official page and downloaded the "command line tools only" version for Linux. But if I open it I don't see any adb anywhere. Despite that, now I understand that this it's neither the ARM version I need.
Where I have to go to download the arm version?
Despite all of that, I have to struggle with the situation where I have broken packets and I need to fix it before install anything. ANy suggestion?
Thanks

Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install adb android-sdk-platform-tools-common
Though if want newer packages change you Sources to Testing, undertake above then change the back to Stretch...

I achieved to learn how to fix the broken paquet thing. Today I learned a lot about apt and dpkg!!
@fruitoftheloom , thanks for the links, but the one of the "adb" it has multiple choisses of architecture. Should I choos the "armel" or "armhf". The option of running "apt-get install adb" it's not possible because apt says there is no package called like that.

There is such a package.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Have you done sudo apt-get update before trying the install?
Are you running the latest Raspbian?

Using apt-get to install will install for the correct architecture, I am at a loss why you feel you have to choose !!!!!!
As above stated ADB is in Raspbian Stretch, if you are running a differing OS / Version now is the time to switch.

With "sudo uname -a" the OS version I get is: Linux raspberrypi 4.9.35-v7+
I had make the "sudo apt-get update", but even with that the "adb" doesn't appear. To install adb I used "apt-get install android-tools-adb", but I get the 1.0.31 version, which is not enough recent for my purpose. @rpdom , which version do you have installed?
@fruitoftheloom , I thougth I had to choose an architecture because I thougth I had to download the package and manually install it, as it doesn't appear in my apt available packet list. Also, I have no idea if I have to update some system stuff or if I am using Raspbian strech or not.

I didn't know the was a newer version of Raspbian called Stretch. Even when you, rpdom, talk about stretch didn't thought it was a new OS version.
Well, finally, I did it. Just changed the repositories list link and installed adb 1.0.36. As always, I learned things about linux during this struggle.
Thanks to both for the help
