Can't access phone through ADB - G1 General

I am trying to access my phone through ADB to register w/o data. My device center and device manager both see the phone ("Android Phone" in DC, and "ADB Interface > HTC Dream" in DM). However, when I run ADB from the command line it cannot find my device. I have tried reinstalling drivers, killing and starting the ADB server, and even re-flashing my phone.
Note: When booting the phone from a fresh flash I DON'T have to enter "<enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter>" to initialize ADB. It is automatically seen as an ADB device, and after entering the command it is only seen as a storage device.
Thanks in advance.
(unlocking a Dream on Windows 7 x64)

Solved it by installing the drivers from here: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/

[Q] device composite adb interface can't be stopped because a program access it

I rooted my NC and fixed the USB and ADB drivers. After NC is connected to WinXP system, everything works fine. There are two devices showing up. One is USB mass storage, the other is "composite adb interface".
But I can only remove USB mass storage devices safely. When try to remove "composite adb interface", it says "the device android composite adb interface cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it".
It must be the process adb.exe that is using the device. How to safely stop it and remove the NC?
go to command prompt and type adb kill-server

[Q] ADB error: device unauthorized and device offline

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'm not getting any message.
Maybe because I already authorized my pc before. A few weeks ago adb worked just fine.

Remove /data/misc/adb/adb_key, reboot your phone and try connect again. The message should come up.
Perfect, worked. Thanks!
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!

Make sure to use the latest ADB executable, also check if you don't have any other adb.exe in your computer, from command promt: where adb.exe

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...

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.
thanks to the adb kill-server guy! worked for me

[GUIDE] Clean PC drivers and reinstall it (for ADB or fastboot problems).

This guide is for people that have always problems with drivers, ADB or fastboot problems, with this guide you will clear all.
Tested and working with windows 8.1 (it will work with all other versions of windows, probably not with Windows 10 preview).
*0) Unplug of course the phone from the PC
1) Download USBDeview (32bit version here http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip - 64bit version here http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview-x64.zip) to erase every driver on the pc (look under "Description" tab and uninstall all Asus things, MOOREFIELD, delete also your previous phones drivers or unused devices)
2) Reboot
3) If you are on windows 8 or 8.1 disable driver signature verification and than install
1- Intel Drivers https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices
2- ADB Installer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118 (don't change installation path)
4) Reboot
5) Go in C:/adb, hold shift on keyboard, right click in the folder and "Open command prompt here"
6) Go to recovery with the phone plugged in
7) Tap apply update from ADB Sideload
7) Type in the previous cmd window: adb devices
If you can see your device, congratulations!
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..

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?

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

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.

Unable to adb

Been trying to get an adb connection to this phone. I'm on the latest Sprint available OTA (NMJ32F). Have not side loaded the later version. Never rooted.
When connecting the phone to PC, device manager shows "Essential Phone ADB" is working properly. I also tried the Google generic ADB driver. The phone also shows a notification "ADB debugging is connected. Tap to disable".
"adb devices” always returns empty. I am able to adb other devices.
I think the problem is the phone is not asking me to authorize the ADB connection as my other phones and tablets normally do.
Any idea?
Did you get permissions on your phone when popup appears?
No. The phone doesn't pop up the permission question. But I don't know why.
Don't know but as long as you don't give permission you can't sideload

Try the usb driver and SDK platform tools directly from Essential website:
https://www.essential.com/developer/current-builds
I am using the drivers from Essential website. However, I was using the lastest Unified Android Toolkit for the adb command. Looks like it may be outdated, as the adb.exe and it's dll's in the link from Essential website is newer. I will try the platform tools from there and see if there is a difference.
Thanks!
Is USB debugging enabled in Developer settings?
Are you in Fastboot? Did you try "fastboot devices"?
ADB devices returns your device is offline?
