Hi everyone,
I have a Nexus 6P which simply refuses to connect via USB on my Mac (i.e. it doesn't show up as a valid device under adb devices or via Android File Transfer). I believe it was working at some point but it seems to have stopped now. Might be worth noting, I did try connecting it to my car's charger a few months ago but had the worst time with it, it would charge and disconnect every few seconds (may or may not be relevant in this case as it pertains to the USB). I tried a different charger and it works fine with it though.
I have tried a lot of different things (which I'll list below) but have had no luck getting my Nexus 6P being recognized as a device when I connect it to my Mac (or any other). I do have the Developer settings enabled and I am able to switch to MTP but I never get the prompt to change USB mode. Anytime I connect my device, adb devices doesn't list it at all. I tried ADB File transfer as well and that also says "Please connect your device".
Here are some of the things I have tried so far:
1. Used different cables - no luck
2. Used a different mac - no luck
3. Tried a different Nexus 6P with my cable, it works fine (so it is not a cable issue)
4. Tried a different Nexus 6P with my mac, it works fine (so my Mac seems to be OK too)
5. Restarted in recovery mode - no luck
6. Tried removing a bunch of apps in case there was something conflicting - no luck so far
7. Chatted up Google support - They couldn't tell me much outside of the last option - Factory Reset - I have been holding off on that since I want to be able to transfer my files out first but I really want to avoid having to try that before exhausting all other options. They did offer to replace with a refurb'ed device but I had to decline that.
I did create a bug report dump using the device to see if anything interesting showed up and the only thing noticeable there is an exception related to USB. I am putting that info here in case it is useful in helping with this.

Are you on a custom rom? Do you get an authorization prompt if you call "adb device" after doing "Revoke USB debugging authorizations" from Develop options?

I wasn't connected to my Mac at the time I pulled the report (I confirmed by repeating it just now and still get that 'FileNotFoundException" in the logs for USB device. I don't have a custom rom, I have the standard OEM from the Google Store and didn't do anything else with it.
Also, I did revoke the USB debugging auth multiple times and inspite of that I never get any prompt when I connect.
I also got the report while connected to the Mac and am still seeing the same exception:

I usually only get the key prompt for ADB authorzation when I connect my device and type "adb devices"..... If worse comes to worse, You can restore your phone to factory settings without wiping your sd card. Then you could test that option with compromising your data. Just flash each image from the archive yourself when restoring the firmware as opposed to using the flash-all scipt, or resetting the phone from settings... DO NOT flash the "userdata.img" included in the factory firmware archive or issue the command "fastboot format userdata" during the restore process and all of your files will be fine. This may be an option as long as fastboot is still functional on your device. Ive come across so many different devices in so many different conditions over the years, as long as the device could power on and the usb port was functional, fasboot has worked time and time again.
PS adb on Mac can be a bit tricky especially if this is the first time youre attempting to o install and use it. Unless you set the correct enviornment variables during the install process, you will oly be able to access adb from inside the folder that its stored in on your mac. Youll have to pull up your terminal and and direct it to the folder containing adb and fastboot. Its usually ina a folder called "platform-tools" Which can be found in the dictory in whch you installed the Android SDK or SDK Tools packages... Now that I think about it, you have to download adb from the SDK package I just mentioned. After doing so, youll find the platform tools folder and it should contain what you need. As long as java is correctly installed on your mac then everything should work once you issue the "adb devices" command in a terminal session thats points at the "platform-tools" folder. YOU ALSO HAVE TO HAVE JDK INSTALLED in order for it to work with your device. I just looked at what you posted and it looks like youred missing JDK"...
If you havent done any of this yet the thats the problem. If everything I just typed seems confusing then you can try this which explains everything you need to do to set up adb a whole lot better than my attempt above lol buts its going to take some time to accomplish https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-setup-adb-on-os-x/
or
You can also install and configure adb a whole lot easier by issuing the following commands from within your mac terminal.... (This will install Brew on your Mac, if you arent familiar with what it is, Its a software distrobution platform. Sort of like git hub and linux software repos. When in doubt, do a little reading first. It'll solve all your problems....
-Install Brew - Copy and paste this command into a mac terminal and follow the prompts that show up.
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
-Once that finishes, next use this command
brew update && brew cask install java
-Once that is complete enter this last command
brew install android-platform-tools
Those 3 commands will do 99 percent of the work. When its done just find the platform tools folder and go from there. Hope this helps.

He says he already tried adb devices which didn't list anything. That tells me adb is configured correctly. Otherwise it should've given errors. Plus, he also said another Nexus 6P worked on the same mac.

Thanks for the detailed steps but like adotkdotjh mentioned, I already have a working adb (and it worked fine with a different Nexus 6P on the same mac). How would 'fastboot' work if the computer does not even see my device under list of devices? I've never done any image flashing before so that would be quite an unfamiliar territory but I'd be willing to explore. Where would I get these image files and how do I issue the command to the device while it is not being recognized? Thanks

Fastboot (also refered to as "download mode") is a tool used to essentially reprogram your device in the event that you are unable to enter into recovery mode in oreder to fix whatever issue your device is having. Android devices have 3 working modes, normal function, recovery mode, and fastboot. Number one is obvious, recovery allows you to completely reset your device without using a computer if every other measure youve tried hasn't worked. When you use this feature everything on your device is erased and your phone is completely restored to factory settings. Its convienet becuase not everyone is computer savvy and its to the point. But say you were updating (system update) your phone and accidently dropped it causing the battery to fall out and the device to shut off in the middle of the update process. What will most likely happen is the system partition will become corrupt, causing the phone to stick at the initial boot screen. Usually if that happens you can still access recovery mode and just reset but if for some reason that didnt work you would go to the manufacturers website and download the latest firmware for your device. You put the phone into fastboot mode by holding volume down and then pressing and holding the power button at the same time (while the phone is off).The process varies bydevice, If done correctly you will see on your screen a bunch of info along with Andy (the Android) chillin with his hatch open. You connect your phone to your computer and as long as your computer is set up correctly with adb and fastboot, you now have the abailty to reprogram (flash) your device using a series of commands that are issued from either the command line (windows) or terminal (linux/mac).
YOUR BOOTLOADER NEEDS TO BE UNLOCKED BEFORE CONTINUING. IF YOU DONT SEE A LITTLE LOCK AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR DEVICE UNDER THE GOOGLE LOGO WHEN YOU FIRST TURN IT ON THEN YOU NEED TO GO TO SETTINGS, ABOUT DEVICE, FIND BUILD NUMBER AND TAP IT RAPIDLY UNTIL YOU SEE A MESSAGE POP UP SAYING YOU UNLOCKED DEVELOPER OPTIONS. GO BACK TO THE SETTINGS MENU AND SELEC DEVELOPER OPTIONS WHICH SHOULD NOW BE THERE AND INSIDE THERES AN OPTION CALLED "ALLOW OEM UNLOCKING" TURN IT ON. AND CONTINUE
Eextract the firmware archive you downloaded which will produce a folder containing 2 ".img files" files, another ".tar" archive, and some script files that you can use to make the process pretty much automated.
There are two of them, one for Windows (flash-all.bat) and one for Linux and Mac (flash-all.sh)....
Open the folder that was extracted from the firmware archive... Hold shift then right click a blank area in the folder. Select "open command prompt here" (Windows)
or
Type in terminal : cd ~/downloads/xxx where "xxx" is the name of the folder that was extracted but make sure that folder is moved to your "downloads" directory first
Then type the following commands:
IF YOU HAVENT UNLOCkED YOUR BOOTLOADER BEFORE THEN THIS IS WHERE YOU WILL NEED TO:
For Mac/Linux type: ./fastboot flashing unlock **Make sure you use the ./ or the command wont be recognized**
For Windows type: fastboot flashing unlock
Select yes on the phone when it asks if youre sure..... BAM, unlocked bootloader.
Your phone is completely free of restrections if you want to install custom firmware now. If not you can relock it after flashing the stock firmare by enterning fastboot mode again and typing
fastboot flashing lock or ./fastboot flashing lock (mac/linux).....
Now we can proceed with flashing the device...
For Windows: flash-all.bat and hit enter. The computer will do the rest.
Linux/Mac: ./flash-all.sh Make sure you use the ./ or the command wont be recognized.
If youre feeling brave you can do the entire process yourself by extracting the files in that second archive that was produced and flash each of them individually using a series of command in a specific order.
The 2nd extracted archive will give you a folder with five .img files
boot.img
cache.img
system.img
recovery.img
userdata.img ***** DO NOT FLASH THIS IMAGE. FORGET ITS EVEN THERE****
Take all five and move them to the original folder that was extracted. There are 2 other .img files that were extracted from the first archive also like I mentioned above, one that says "BOOTLOADER.xxx.xx.img" and one that says "RADIO.xxx.xxx.img"... Rename RADIO.xxx.xxx.img to | radio.img |and the other to| bootloader.img |ALL LOWER CASE keep them in that folder along with the other five. Now you should have 7 total image files in one folder. (Its smart to use the folder that your command prompt or terminal was opened in, if you decide to use a different folder then you have to direct each fastboot command to the folder where the .img file is located.
from the command line you flash each img individually with the following commands.....
(Mac/Linux need to include ./ before every fastboot command begins like this: ./fastboot or it wont work.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader (phone will reboot then go back into fastboot mode, dont worry should only take seconds)
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader (reboots again)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot format userdata (this command takes place of the "userdata.img" file I told you to forget about)
fastboot reboot
As long as you see action on the screen and a "complete" after every command then youre in business. If you get an error check your spelling. THE COMMAND LINE IS CASE SENSETIVE. You might type the correct words but if one letter is capital the command wont work. If theres an extra space between words then the command wont work so check everything. Safe rule: Everything should be in lower case letters with 1 space after every word.... THIS S*** MATTERS
Its not as hard as it seems if you arent familiar with the process, but its also not something to mess with unless youve done your homework. Read up on it, there are so many good posts and people in here so you'll be able to find everything you need without any issue.
Fastboot can also be used to install a custom recovery like TWRP which would then allow you to install custom firmware (roms) on your device as long as theres support for it. Nexus devices are built for that very reason! They tend to have a huge selection of development within the Android community. They come with Android as Google intended it to be! No extra BS.... And its wicked easy to unlock the bootloader. That is why they are, in my opinion, the best Android devices available. But someone who doesnt really care much for things like modding and installing custom firmware might see the Nexus as plain device which lacks the bells and whistles included in other devices. Which is ok! I personally love the simplicity of pure Android and the whole philosophy behind the Nexus Program. To each is own! If you need anything else send me a message!
Have not read it all on here lol install this on your Mac https://www.android.com/filetransfer/ and see if it sees you 6p make sure you plug in them change from charging to file transfer on the phone then exit out of the app and reboot that will tell you if your Mac sees your phone

I'm currently getting some strange errors while trying to control my N4 over adb.
http://prntscr.com/1km24i
On Ubuntu I get "device unauthorized" and on Windows 8 I get "device offline".
Same thing happens over USB.
Any idea?
PS: I'm currently on 4.2.2. I where on 4.3 yesterday but installed 4.2.2 again after some strange errors.

As the message have stated, you need to allow the adb access on your phone.
You need to first connect the phone to your PC with USB cables, then the authorization message will pop out on the screen. Tick remember your choice, then allow it.

I just got my phone back from LG (the mainboard "Fried"). I have the new update pushed to the phone. I have to re-root the phone now as its basically a new phone.
I am getting the Device offline as well message in ADB. As I don't have root, how can I fix this error? I can't navigate to that particular directory. I had no authotization message show up on my computer when I plugged the phone in for the first time... so not sure how to get past this...

This shouldn't be happening on new phone, because the key won't be created if you haven't authorized it.
Can you check your adb version? Try updating it with android sdk manager.
I am going to try and re-download the ADB SDK. I think it's an issue with whatever version I downloaded. I've tried to run the ADB Manager.exe and nothing happens. Currently flying to London so it will have to wait until I get back. Nice of LG to fix my phone and they didn't charge me a dime. Although I did lose everything.
Hello,
I'm having the same problem "Please check the confirmation dialog on your device", but there is no such dialog on the device.
Things I tried and DID NOT SOLVE:
1) Remove /data/misc/adb/* - Failed, there was nothing there (full wipe before flash a new rom)
2) Try different ROMs - Failed, tried AOKP Milestone 1 and 2 and CM10. Dialog never showed up.
3) Try different usb cable OR usb port - Failed, adb is recognized, but no confirmation dialog on the device (device shows as unauthorized)
4) Removed all drivers and installed them again - Failed, same problem;
5) Updated android-sdk (or full delete and reinstall [remembering to adb kill-server]) - Failed, problem continues even with platform-tools up-to-date.
6) Removed all folder C:\Users\Myself\.android - Failed, it was never recreated;
7) Tried to connect via adb over wifi, device is found but unauthorized persists;
Things that gave me some clues:
1) Reboot to recovery mode allowed me to use ADB without any authorization (only while in recovery);
2) Recovery sideload works without any problem;
3) HOWEVER, when connecting to another computer (Windows XP, fresh install on a virtual machine), dialog appears and adb works!
The scenario:
1) Devices tried: Galaxy Nexus / Galaxy S3 I9300
2) ROMs tried: AOKP (4.2.2) / CM10 (4.2.2)
3) Windows 7 x64
The problem is on the computer side, that's a fact. However, I would like to SOLVE it without having to reformat my computer, or change my OS.
Where to start?
Thanks!

After removing your .android directories, you need to restart the adb server to send fresh credentials to the phone.
First unplug the phone from your computer, then run:
Code:
$ adb kill-server
$ adb start-server
Now plug your phone back in and you should see a dialog on the device asking to confirm new credentials for your computer.
After confirming the credentials you should be able to connect to your device.
I hope that this helps...

Hello,
I'm having the same problem "Please check the confirmation dialog on your device", but there is no such dialog on the device.
Things I tried and DID NOT SOLVE:
1) Remove /data/misc/adb/* - Failed, there was nothing there (full wipe before flash a new rom)
2) Try different ROMs - Failed, tried AOKP Milestone 1 and 2 and CM10. Dialog never showed up.
3) Try different usb cable OR usb port - Failed, adb is recognized, but no confirmation dialog on the device (device shows as unauthorized)
4) Removed all drivers and installed them again - Failed, same problem;
5) Updated android-sdk (or full delete and reinstall [remembering to adb kill-server]) - Failed, problem continues even with platform-tools up-to-date.
6) Removed all folder C:\Users\Myself\.android - Failed, it was never recreated;
7) Tried to connect via adb over wifi, device is found but unauthorized persists;
Things that gave me some clues:
1) Reboot to recovery mode allowed me to use ADB without any authorization (only while in recovery);
2) Recovery sideload works without any problem;
3) HOWEVER, when connecting to another computer (Windows XP, fresh install on a virtual machine), dialog appears and adb works!
The scenario:
1) Devices tried: Galaxy Nexus / Galaxy S3 I9300
2) ROMs tried: AOKP (4.2.2) / CM10 (4.2.2)
3) Windows 7 x64
The problem is on the computer side, that's a fact. However, I would like to SOLVE it without having to reformat my computer, or change my OS.
Where to start?
Thanks!

I know that this post is old, but I came across the same problem while attempting to root my Galaxy S4 today. This ended up being the solution:
1. Grant yourself root access on the PC that is running adb
2. Remove RSA Keys:
rm /home/username/.android/*
3. Restart adb server:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
I hope that this helps.
SOLVED!
I guess I should have read the previous post before I posted this but anyway maybe this helps.
I had this happen to my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 running 4.3 (VRUEM2K) after I rooted using saferoot, then removed the SuperSU app using SuperSU's so-called "safely unroot" menu option. It will no longer request the RSA key from the Ubuntu system I previously authorized (and used to root) and won't re-root using saferoot or motochopper. But since I dual-boot Windows 7 (I hardly use it, came with the laptop), I figured I'd give Odin a try and re-flash it to stock which didn't do anything to the "custom" flag and I still got "unauthorized" in adb in Ubuntu, but I noticed it does show up fine with adb in Windows. I tried the windows verison of saferoot and it was able to re-root my phone and re-install SuperSU just fine. Phone still showed "unauthorized" in Ubuntu.
After posting this I saw the previous comment saying to rm -rf ~/.android/ in Ubuntu. I also cleared all previously authorized computers and disable dev mode on my phone, rebooted, turned dev mode back on, rebooted again. Not sure if this helped, but I went through the following steps as root:
[email protected]:~# adb kill-server
[email protected]:~# adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
15506b89 unauthorized
At this point I pretty much said "F it, not gonna work" and walked away to get a snack, leaving my phone plugged in. I was only gone a couple minutes and when I came back, the RSA authorization request had popped up on my phone. I checked the box to always allow this computer and authorized it. Then SUCCESS, as seen below:
[email protected]:~# adb devices
List of devices attached
15506b89 device
Removing the .android directory seemed to do it, but you need to wait a few minutes for the computer to re-request the RSA key.
after a week of searching. I NEVER KNEW it pop to accept to authorized. WOW cant believe it... after reading this thread im lol'ding right now.
I had tried to kill adb etc but keep saying aunauthorized. solution was to reboot my phone with usb connected,after boot it the dialog to connect appear and my s4 got authorized. backup success.

IF you are an advanced user with adb/fastboot set up and some basic knowlede of the cmd window,you can skip to #2
1)set up adb(windows 7 and lower)
-download this file
-install drivers: if you have htc sync installed,you should allready have drivers. if not,you can install htc sync,or install these modified htc drivers from revolutionary (driver mirror)
-unzip your miniadb_v1031.zip file. this is native funtionality in windows 7. you otherwise may need a utility such as "7-zip" to extract,or unzip it. place the unzipped folder onto the root of your C drive on your PC. root means the top level,not inside any folders. so just copy and paste,or drag and drop the folder onto C with everything else that is there. you may want to rename it to "miniadb_m7" since youll be putting some device specific files in here.
-open a command window. on windows 7,click the start bubble in the lower left and type "command" in the search box. xp i believe is similar or the same. doing this should open a small black command window.
-change to your miniadb_m7 directory. type the following at the prompt in your cmd window:
cd c:\miniadb_m7
your command promt should change to "c:miniadb_m7>" provided you: 1)unzipped the miniadb_v1031 zip file,and 2)put the folder on your c drive,and 3)entered the name of the folder correctly ("miniadb_m7" in this case)
-now make sure usb debugging is checked in developer options(you will need to turn it on first),and plug your phone into your PC with a usb cable
-make sure your phone is being recognized- type:
adb devices
if your drivers are installed correctly,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.
if you get your serial number back,then enter this command:
adb reboot bootloader
this should take your phone to the "fastboot" screen,wich is white with colored letters. this is one mode of your bootloaders interactive modes. at the top youll see fastboot devices as confirmation youre in fastboot.
now enter:
fastboot devices
again,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.
if you get your serial number back,you can enter the following to boot back to the phones OS:
fastboot reboot
and now,youve installed adb/fastboot and tested youre phones drivers. if at either spot,you have trouble and dont get your serial number back,there is some sort of connection issue. use these steps to troubleshoot:
troubleshooting connectivity issues:
-try a reboot of the PC
-try different usb cables and ports
-dont use a usb hub
-dont use usb 3.0
-make sure nothing capable of comunicating with the phone is enabled and running. htc sync,pdanet,easy tether,and even itunes have all been known to cause issues.
-windows 8 has been known to have issues. try a windows 7 or older machine
failing the above,
-i use these drivers for fastboot and adb(donwload and run as admin): http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe (mirror)
failing that,try manually updating the drivers in the following manner:
-put the phone in fastboot mode(select fastboot from the hboot menu)
-open device manager on the PC
-plug in phone,watch for it to pop up in device manager.
-update drivers with device manager,pointing the wizard to the extracted
driver download folder from above
note that you can check the connectivity of the phone,and make sure drivers are working by in the following manner:
-open cmd window. change to directory containing adb/fastboot utilities
-adb with the phone in the booted OS,usb debug enabled,enter:
adb devices in a cmd window
-fastboot with phone in fastboot,enter:
fastboot devices in cmd window
in either case,a properly connected phone with working drivers installed should report back the phones serial number.

2)a link to an uploaded p11.
you get fastboot getvar all by:
-place phone in fastboot
-enter in fastboot getvar all right click,click mark,highlight in white,hit enter or right click to copy
you dump p11 by:
adb shell
su (if needed to get a #)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p11
transfer the file on internal storage to your pc and upload it
im not trying to be a ****,but its not helpful to post "didnt work" if you screwed something up,or if your not willing to help find a solution. especially if others have found it to work on their same variant.
important:
from now on,i will need a copy of your cmd window as well if we want to get to the bottom of whats happening. some folks seem to be simply writing extra bytes,wich is screwing up the flag location. please make sure this shows an entire session,not just a last part where it looks correct. we cant figure it out if you only show part of what you did.

You cannot do it without turning s on. P9 is now being protected,and any attempts to modify it in any manner result in security being turned back on

Don't do this unless you're ready to be stock and s on,and have all your ducks in a row. It could leave you bricked or stuck in the bootloader with a security warning.

Just to confirm that it worked fine on my phone as per the screen photo in OP post. Also, just a warning to others, S-Off through SunShine might give you problems or would fail in case of repeated attempts (going back & forth between S-ON & S-OFF).

Apparently SunShine has some security system that detects if you are unlocking many times & then would just stop stop working & gives you message that your device is acting in an unusual way. I then had to contact their support to get it resolved.

You install the app & run it on your phone with a internet connection, after the app makes some tests & confirms your device is compatible you will be prompted to pay through the app itself ($25.00). The app itself will run & phone restart & then you get S-OFF. My M9+ was also from UAE (official-UAE version) & S-OFF worked from the 1st time. Very simple process.

Not possible currently. Attempting to modify p9 will cause you to turn s on. It may be possible to use it to your advantage if you need to be 100% stock,but I haven't had a chance to come up with a process that I believe would be 100% safe for all users

Ok thank you, see if you can :good:
This has me stumped. I have tried erasing the .android folder which had the RSA key information and all, and I have also reinstalled all drivers. I have also unauthorized all previous keys under the developer menu.
When I unlocked the bootloader, it erased all the data. I made a backup beforehand, and then restored from that backup using the LG tool.
When I list devices using ADB, it just says my device is unauthorized and when trying to execute a command it throws this error:
Error: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.
Now either I am an idiot or the backup messed with the RSA keys used in ADB.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried to just use the 'Revoke USB debugging authorization' function inside of the Dev Options menu and then type 'adb kill-server' then retry to connect your phone to adb. It should ask again to reauthorize the computer.

Yes I have already tried that. I have restarted my computer, restarted my phone and I have revoked authorization many times. This was my last resort to ask here.
SOLVED!!!
originally discussed here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/unable-to-access-adb-t2830087/page3#post71075750
I removed a user variable in windows environment:
click START -> right click COMPUTER -> click ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS in the left margin -> click ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
In the user variables section, delete the user variable with the value pointing to your android folder (for me it was C:\ Android). I had this location created when i first tried installing an older version of ADB. I later read that you could delete the RSA key (which was save in this directory) in order to get your phone to re-request RSA authorization (which is exactly what people here are trying to do). I deleted the adbkey and adbkey.pub files, but still could not get my phone to re-request RSA authorization. I then deleted the android folder itself (C:\Android). This did not solve the issue either. THEN, I DELETED THE USER VARIABLE WITH THE VALUE C:\ANDROID AS DESCRIBED. I restarted my computer and my S4 requested the RSA authorization and I am able to perform ADB communications.
You can also reinstall your phone drivers if this doesn't quite help. I did both.
You can do this through device manager, or by clicking start -> devices and printers -> right click your device -> click the hardware tab -> go through each function in the device function box and click properties -> driver -> uninstall. Reboot your computer. If windows does not auto-install your drivers, download the latest manufacture drivers and install them.
Between these two steps, i was FINALLY able to get my s4 to display the pop up for RSA authorization
If this helped you please hit thanks so I know I was able to help! Good luck guys and gals!! I know how painful this is, it took me trying on and off for months!!!
Hi.
I have a nexus 7 2012 edition which turns on with The Google written logo and under the screen with a padlock. After that it will be in bootloop with a black screen ( I can see the backlight turning on/off). This is also if pressing the power+volume down combination. Seems bootloader is corrupted. Anyway I installed everything on pc plus I'm using the WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit and here are some examples which show what errors I'm encountering when trying to flash stock firmware .

Hi, Sunil_511...
Bit speculative this, and I can't say for certain if the following solution would work, because I've never had this problem myself. It also requires that your Nexus 7 be in a fully bootable state.
Go to your Nexus 7 Developer Options in the devices settings and tap on 'Revoke USB debugging authorisations'. Tap on OK to confirm. See attached screenshot.
This, theoretically, should wipe the slate clean.
Reboot both your N7 and your PC/laptop and when you next reconnect your N7 to your PC/laptop, you'll be asked to authorise this new USB connection when you perform some action that requires it.
Well, that's the plan anyway.
Good luck?.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Nope, in my case my tab is not booting to recovery or system. The only option is adb and it is showing unauthorized. My last option what i think off is to change the motherboard.

Google search is your friend. I found the following two methods which seems to have worked for some people.
1. If you are using OS X*:
Reboot your phone into recovery mode.
Connect it to your computer.
Open the terminal and type:
cd ~/.android
adb push adbkey.pub /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
All done! Just adb shell reboot and feel the power!
*For Windows 10, .android directory is located in your the base of your C:\User\user_name directory.
2. Go to where you have stored adb files, open that folder and press "CTRL+SHIFT+Right Click" and select and click on Open Command Prompt option
Now enter following command
adb start-server (Enter)
adb usb (Enter)
After that your device is no longer unauthorized and you should be able to use any command in your Android Mobile using PC/ Computer.
If these fixes don't work, SEARCH.
thanks buddy, i have tried pushing the adb keys but no luck. I will try tge second option. Will let you know after trying.
No difference still the same

What fun! Windows 10 and the NST
I find that I cannot negotiate ADB access via USB any longer. I don't know when that started, but it looks like maybe sometime in June. These events are displayed in the Device Manager when accessing "Portable Devices":

It's not beyond belief that the spate of major updates to Windows 10 recently trashed my ability to access the device via ADB/USB. The question is: how to fix it?
On the NST I have the following:
service.adb.tcp.port -1
persist.adb.tcp.port 0
All that stuff indicates that the NST is presenting as UMS.
Have you used UsbView.exe to see what interfaces are being presented?
Have you looked at sys.usb.config, sys.usb.config?
That stuff with adb.tcp is only for ADB over TCP (WiFi).

UsbView.exe is the venerable Microsoft utility, to be found here: https://ftdichip.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/usbview.zip
You can also look in Windows Device Manager (devmgmt.msc), especially in "View > Devices by Connection"
Either OmapLink.exe or ImxLink.exe (in sig) will show you if ADB is showing (err, conditional upon the driver being loaded?)

In DeviceManager/Devices by Connection, the Nook shows up as a USB composite device.
And I've attached a screencap from usbview.
Well, OmapLink/ImxLink found your rooted device.
You do have only one Android plugged in?
What part of ADB is not working?
What version adb.exe are you using?
If the version is stone age it goes by VID/PID and it doesn't know about B&N.
Code:
C:\>adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
C:\>adb devices
12345678
Version is not that critical, but should at least be in the high 30's.
(For UsbView you want to click on the device so that you see interesting things in the right panel. But we're past that step.)
Wait, are you talking about UMS not working, not ADB?
Oh, don't tell me that you use UMS?
The NST presents two drives but there may not be anything mounted.
Run Disk Manager (diskmgmt.msc) and see if there are drive letters but nothing inside them.

In DeviceManager/Devices by Connection, the Nook shows up as a USB composite device.
And I've attached a screencap from usbview.

Wait, are you talking about UMS not working, not ADB?
Oh, don't tell me that you use UMS?
The NST presents two drives but there may not be anything mounted.
Run Disk Manager (diskmgmt.msc) and see if there are drive letters but nothing inside them.

Unless I am transferring a library book with ADE I like to keep UMS turned off since it locks you out of interacting with the screen while debugging...which now isn't happening for some unknown reason.
I try to do most file transfers wirelessly to save wear and tear on the USB jack.
So, yes, I am talking about ADB. "Device not found" is all I get now. I'll check on the version later today but I don't see why a version which was working just fine before should suddenly stop. Unless its Windows' fault.

Ah, ok.
It's definitely a problem with your adb.exe
OmapLink/ImxLink can find your device, connect and even do shell commands (id).
Those programs, unlike AdbSync, do not go through the ADB port 5037 of adb.exe like a normal ADB client does.
If you actually have adb.exe connected OmapLink/ImxLink won't be able to connect to the already connected device.
So this all means tht your WIndows drivers are fine.
You might have had a few copies of adb.exe and one of them got deleted or the PATH changed or a backup restored the wrong one or...
Also, there was that old C:\Users\Person\.android\usb_adb.ini file which was used by old versions of adb.exe
But you don't want/need that anymore, so forget that I mentioned it!

ADB version is 1.0.31 (Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Just to see, I connected up my regular non-Nook tablet and ADB saw the device right away. So the issue is definitely with the NST or the interface of the NST with Windows.
I actually do have that usb_adb.ini file, but again, why work with everything else and "suddenly" stop working with the NST?
When UMS is turned off, I do see the two "empty" drives (internal and sdcard) in Windows when I connect via USB.
Marshmallow came out in October 2, 2015.
That had ADB version 1.0.32
That was the first public release that eliminated vendor white-listing that was changed in November 21, 2014.
I could tell you how to fix the adb_usb.ini, but you really should just update a half decade or so.

Huh.
So I updated Minimal ADB and Fastboot to v.1.43 which is ADB version 1.0.39. And it worked right away. I still don't see why the previous version just stopped working with the NST. Like so much else in life, it makes no sense.
Anyway now I have another issue, for this version came with a genuine Windows installer and my previous version was a "dump into the folder of your choice and set up the paths". I'm wondering if it's safe to just delete that entire folder now (probably have to clean up the path statement too...). Ugh.
Once upon a time, adb.exe and fastboot.exe were completely standalone.
Now they require AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll
They also require:
Code:
api-ms-win-crt-private-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-convert-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-environment-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-filesystem-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-time-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-utility-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-locale-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-math-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-multibyte-l1-1-0.dll
But these should already be found in the Windows "downlevel" directories.
There's no need to be adding to PATH for every little thing.
If you are invoking adb/fastboot from the command line, you might consider using doskey:
Regedit HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor AutoRun=\wherever\my-autorun.bat
Code:
doskey /macrofile=\wherever\my-aliases.txt
Code:
adb=C:\some-sort-of-path\adb.exe $*
fastboot=C:\some-sort-of-path\fastboot.exe $*
Edit: I forgot the arguments ($*).
If you are invoking adb/fastboot from a bat or makefile just put the full path in some define.
