Thanks to @cangcan to this other tip:
If you installed bluestack on your pc, adb will show 'device emulator' something like that and you need to turn off the bluestack service..
1. Go to start and type services.msc
2. Look for Bluestack android service
3. Stop or disable the service
Its messing up my adb connection in windows 7 and now the zf2 device is recognised on adb after disabled Bluestack services..
Thanks to- Everyone in this section

I will add this to first post, thanks

Hello, I badly need someones assistance. I accidentally installed the OTA update on my rooted zenfone 2 causing it to be bricked. I have spent the last 3 hours uninstalling and then reinstalling the drivers per the above directions. My PC recognized when I connect the phone via USB, and it is showing up as a working device in the device manager screen. It shows the drivers are installed properly and everything but I just cannot view it. I tried disabling the bluestack (it actually was not turned on but I made sure to disable it in case) and that did not work as well. I now have a zenfone 2 that is currently a paperweight and I cannot for the life of me figure out what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for this

Nexus 7 2012 bricked, adb/fastboot connection ok but unauthorized. Can You help?

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 .
Log:
Checking ADB/FASTBOOT Connectivity
adb devices
015d4a5ed8500c01 unauthorized
fastboot devices
There is also a notification popup which tells me:
"An ADB Interface device was found but it was listed as "unauthorized"
-Accept the RSA security prompt and check "Always allow from this computer"
At this point I don't know what to do, can you help me?

Same issue - following
I have the same issue now after trying to flash a kernel to fix the slow charging issue. Following this post for any update.

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.

I have the same error and like to follow

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

Tried your suggestion.. Which i might have tried eventually from googling.. Doesn't make any difference.

Fixed
After doing all the researches, i had to buy a new motherboard and then replace it. Installed new rom and now using it. Spared about 1400INR for a 32 gig version.

How to install via OSX on Fairphone 2

As a Mac user, my options seem limited. The only way I found to install ubuntu touch on my fairphone 2 is ubports. Am I missing something?
However, ubports recognizes my phone but does not start with installation. I am asked to connect the phone via USB. Of course this already is the case – otherwise it would not have been recognized
(I followed the instructions for preparation – developer mode: on, oem unlock, usb debugging: on. I also checked the usb mode to be transfer mode and I tested another usb chord)
I would appreciate any help.

Try this
Download and install the latest installer for ubports.
Open terminal type and enter these 2 lines:
cd /Applications/ubports-installer.app/Contents/MacOS/
sudo ./ubports-installer
When prompted enter your Mac is admin password.
The installer should work correctly now (has something to do with admin privileges for adb and fastboot).
I had the same problem installing on my nexus 4, then it worked perfectly after entering the 2 command lines in terminal.
Hope this helps.

Frustated with Google News Application

As the title says, I'm fed up with the Google News Application. But the thing is., It is installed as a system app and I don't want that- Disable is the only option that exists for me. I've been disabling it everyday. Even I've disabled Auto-Update for that but still it ENABLES by itself and even UPDATES BY ITSELF.
I've even seeked the help of customer care but they told me to visit SERVICE CENTRE and I even did the same. When I visited the service centre, they just Hard resetted my device and I told them that I've done it more than 6 times at home. They started arguing with me thereby accusing me with bad words...
My phone is still under warranty and I don't want to lose it by installing TWRP and rooting it...
Any kind SUGGESTIONS are HEARTLY WELCOME.

Use ADB.
Download ADB from Google to your PC. (Minimal ADB did not work for me, The one from developers.google.com is the one that works for me)
After ADB, Go to settings and about phone, Tap on build number 7 times. Now you will enable developer options.
Go to deverloper options and enable USB debugging. Now connect phone and open cmd from the folder where you installed adb(Just type cmd in the address bar of the folder). Now a black window will open on your PC.
Then type adb devices on your PC. Now there will be a prompt on your phone asking allow access to the PC.
Select yes and then go to your pc and type-
Code:
adb shell
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user0 com.google.android.apps.magazines
Then press enter.
Now Google News will be uninstalled.
(I tested this, And also used this various apps, They work fine. Your OTA will not break and the apps will not come back after an system update also)
Cheers

Okay. Thank you. But it gets only HIDDEN not completely uninstalled. As of I know, I can't uninstall permanently without root access.

Nokia's drivers are the only ones you need to install.
Yes, Using this ADB method will not uninstall this app from the system rather it disables the app for you. But this disabled app will not come back unless you want it too, Not even after OTA.

Honestly speaking, in New to using ADB... But knew sp flash tool and I had thought that both are similar but not.
Are Nokia drivers are same as Google drivers?
Can you share me the step by step procedure is you enough time now, sir?

OnePlus 5 fastboot won't recognize in Windows 10

Y cant i get fastboot drivers to read in Windows 10. I have updated the software to the latest update. Developer options are turned on. USB configuration is set to file transfer. In a regular state Windows 10 readds the phone and I can access the contents of the phone. I opened a power shell (regular and as admin) I typed "adb devices" it reads. (I have enabled advanced reboot.) I use the command "adb reboot-bootloader" in boots to fastboot. Now it loses connection. I Open the Run dialog box by pressing Windows Key+R. Type “devmgmt.msc” besides Android is a yellow triangle, then click Update Driver.A new window will pop up. Select the ‘Browse my computer for driver software’ option. I copied the drivers from the OnePlus 5 folder. Try to install but nothing. This is where in stuck. Please help. Thanks
