Is there any way how to install just ADB without whole SDK?
Solution 1:
Yes you can
Installing ADB in windows without Download Android SDK
- Firstly, you'll need a program that can partially download contents of zip files from the internet.
- Once that's set up, go to the SDK download page and grab the link to the SDK.
- In the zip file, navigate to "android-sdk-windows\tools"
- From there, select only "adb.exe", "AdbWinApi.dll" and "AdbWinUsbApi.dll"
- Download.

Solution 2:
It is now available officially from Google as a separate tool. You can download it from here SDK Platform Tools Release
Solution 3:
I got adb.exe
and the required .dll
files from: http://adbshell.com/downloads
Very minimalistic, but does exactly what it needs to do.
Solution 4:
Unfortunately, due to platform tools being moved to a separate package the method above doesn't work any more.
