How to install via OSX on Fairphone 2 - Ubuntu Touch General

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.

[Tutorial] ADB on (X)ubuntu

You have a problem with ADB on your (X)Ubuntu? "ADB not found", "No Device connected" even you set USB debugging?
I got the same problems when I started to play around with Xubuntu.
So I wrote a tutorial how to get ADB running properly under my Xubuntu installation.
Maybe it helps some people.
ADB on (X)ubuntu
I've enabled "USB debugging" under Settings-->Applications-->Development.
And when I directly connect the USB cable to my Ubuntu machine "lsusb" shows nothing.
I also get no USB icon in notification area on my tablet.
What am I doing wrong?!
Please help!
Worked beautifully
Thanks for the adb tutorial. I am running xubuntu on an old Dell Inspiron 1318.
Some tips I found help:
1. I used leafpad to create the 51_android... File
2. I added both "0x1949" and "1949" vendor IDs
3. As soon as I did this adb recognized my device in TWRP with a regular usb cable.
4. I had to execute each adb command with the "./" prefix, state such as "./adb devices"
5. I side loaded cm10 zip and rebooted in TWRP
6. Then I side loaded gapps zip and rebooted
Voila!
Thanks Hascode, PowerPoint 45, and others!

Can't get RSA Fingerprint dialog to popup

Hi all,
I recently bought a OPT and wanted to root it, but I can't get the RSA Fingerprint dialog to appear.
What I've done:
Installed Android SDK and platform tools and all that stuff according to the guide in the general section
Installed Koush's universal drivers and also specifically installed the Oneplus drivers
Rebooted rebooted rebooted both my computer and phone multiple times
Revoked USB authorization multiple times (according to some this works, but not for me)
Tried both MTP and PTP
Switched off and on developer options and USB Debugging
Factory reset my phone
When I start a command prompt in the platform tools directory and execute "adb version", " Andoid Debug Bridge version 1.0.32 Revision eac51f2bb6a8-android" pops up, so I think my ADB is working properly. But when I execute "ADB devices" the ADB server starts up and then nothing is listed under connected devices.
I'm using Windows 10. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This might work
This didn't work for me, but give it a try.

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

ADB access to "Google-screened" Nexus Player from (Crouton) Linux

I'm trying to repair a Nexus Player stuck on the Google screen. Unfortunately, I only have Linux at home, and it seems like most of the tools are designed for Windows. I've used ADB often in the past to connect to phones from Linux, but always after enabling USB debugging. My steps:
1. Download the latest platform tools from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2. Reboot into recovery mode by holding the button while inserting power, then selecting recovery mode.
3. Run "./adb devices." This successfully starts the ADB server.
However, at this point, no devices are listed. Using "lsusb," I also don't see a device being added when plugging in the Nexus Player. I've tried a couple USB cables, as well as both a Linux Mint PC and a Chromebook running Xubuntu via Crouton. I also tried the command with sudo which occasionally in the past has been necessary.
Is there another step required to have Linux identify the Nexus Player as a device in ADB?
