Since I reinstalled Eclipse (simply deleted and downloaded it again) I can't debug my applications on Samsung Galaxy i9001 (with CyanogenMod - Android 4.4.2). It worked fine before reinstallation.
Unplug/plug, Uncheck/check "Debug Enabled", adb kill-server/adb start-server, restart phone/computer doesn't work for me. On the device authorize dialog never appears (but I remember that dialog appeared before reinstallation). I have no idea how to force this authorize dialog to display. There is no abd_key.pub file in .android directory.
When i try read cpu info DDMS says:
[2014-04-15 12:47:06 - DDMS] device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.
Any ideas? Is it possible to generate keys manually without confirmation dialog?

It's likely that the device is no longer authorized on ADB for whatever reason.
1. Check if authorized:
<ANDROID_SDK_HOME>\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
4df798d76f98cf6d unauthorized
2. Revoke USB Debugging on phone
If the device is shown as unauthorized, go to the developer options on the phone and click "Revoke USB debugging authorization" (tested with JellyBean & Samsung GalaxyIII).
3. Restart ADB Server:
Then restarted adb server
adb kill-server
adb start-server
4. Reconnect the device
The device will ask if you are agree to connect the computer id.
You need to confirm it.
5. Now Check the device
It is now authorized!

Try forcing ADB to create new keys.
On Linux/OSX:
$ mv ~/.android/adbkey ~/.android/adbkey.old
$ mv ~/.android/adbkey.pub ~/.android/adbkey.pub.old
$ adb kill-server
$ adb start-server
On Windows 10 (thank you, Pau Coma Ramirez, Naveen and d4c0d312!):
Go to %HOMEPATH%\Android\.android\
Look for files called adbkey or adbkey.pub.
Delete these files. Or, if you want to be on the safe side, move them to another directory.
Repeat the above steps in %USERPROFILE%\.android\
Try again
After this I didn't even need to unplug my phone: the authorization prompt was already there.
Ohhh finally I figured it out!
After removing Eclipse directory I installed it into another directory.
echo %ANDROID_SDK_HOME%
has displayed wrong path to sdk directory.
set ANDROID_SDK_HOME "E:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk"
unplug device
adb kill-server
adb start-server
plug device
After these steps, I was able to see confirmation dialog with RSA fingerprint on my phone :)
I run into the same issues with nexus7.
Following worked for fixing this.
Open Developer option in the Settings menu on your device.
Switch off the button on the upper right of the screen.
Delete all debug permission from the list of the menu.
Switch on the button on the upper right of the screen.
now reconnect your device to your PC and everything should be fine.
Sorry for my poor english and some name of the menus(buttons) can be incorrect in your language because mine is Japanese.
I had the same problem. It was resolved by setting "USB computer connection" to "Camera (PTP)" instead of "Media Device (MTP)
I wasted hours on this stupid issue. None of the above solutions worked for me on their own.
I'm running Windows 10. I had an old manual install of the Android SDK as well as Android Studio's SDK. I deleted my manually installed SDK and all my devices stopped working. These were the symptoms:
$ adb usb
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.
as well as
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
id1 unauthorized
id2 unauthorized
id3 unauthorized
To be honest I'm not sure which of these steps got me my Allow USB debugging? prompts back so I listed EVERYTHING for completeness. Goes in order from easiest to hardest. Most people seem to be back on their feet after the first two sections.
Restart ADB
I would perform this after each of the sections below.
adb kill-server
adb usb
Go crazy with developer options
Turn Developer options off and back on
Turn USB debugging off and back on
Revoke USB debugging authorizations. Try this while USB debugging is on and if possible try also when USB debugging is off.
Replug devices
Unplug and replug USB cable into phone.
Switch physical ports on your PC that your USB cable is connected into
Switch physical USB cables you're using to connect your devices
Start rebooting everything
Reboot all your devices and connect again
Reboot your PC
Toggle WIFI on and off
Start deleting things
CAUTION Delete your ~/.android folder. Sometimes this folder can have the wrong permissions which can cause issues. You might want to back this folder up first.
Uninstall all manufacturer specific drivers from add/remove programs. I uninstalled the following (names are not exact)
LG United USB Driver
HTC Mobile USB Driver
OnePlus USB Drivers 1.00
Samsung USB Driver
I also uninstalled all emulators and their respective drivers (optional)
Nox & related drivers
Bluestacks
Genymotion
Erase all Android related environment variables.
Delete %ANDROID_HOME% if you have it set
Delete %ANDROID_SDK_HOME% if you have it set
At this point all my devices magically came to life and started displaying the Allow USB debugging? prompts and connecting properly through ADB. If you've made it this far and haven't found a solution, I am truly sorry you're in this predicament. Make sure you've restarted all devices and your dev machine at the end of all of these steps and connect to a fresh USB port using a new cable.
If that still doesn't work try some of these other SO posts on the subject:
Android ADB device offline, can't issue commands
Can't connect Nexus 4 to adb: unauthorized
How to solve ADB device unauthorized in Android ADB host device?
For me, I firstly unauthorized my device accidentally which I found out later. To revert it back to reauthorise:
Disconnect USB device from laptop/computer
Click 'Revoke USB debugging authorisations' in Developer options.
Disable developer options on top.
re-enable it again.
enable USB debugging
run command 'adb kill-server' on terminal
run command 'adb start-server' on terminal
connect your mobile device to laptop/computer
reauthorize
press like)
Note: if above doesn't work, trying restarting your laptop before connecting again
For reference, I just encountered much the same issue on Linux and had a hell of a time figuring it out. I eventually determined that I had a ~/.android directory that was root owned (thanks to running adb as root, while flailing around trying to figure out other connection problems). Deleting that root owned ~/.android directory resolved the missing authorisation dialog next time I reconnected the device.
It's possible that simply changing the ownership would also have fixed the problem - I'm guessing it was a simple lack of access to the adb key file stored inside that was the root of the problem. I didn't verify that, though, and I'm not going to deliberately break my hard-won connectivity just so I can check ;-)
Steps that worked for me:
1. Disconnect phone from usb cable
2. Revoke USB Debugging on phone
3. Restart the device
4. Reconnect the device
The most important part was rebooting the device. Didn't work without it .
After having spent over an hour going in rounds swearing at Samsung (mostly), Google, and who not, here are my findings, that finally helped me get the device recognized:
On Device:
Set developer mode
Allow USB debugging
Default USB configuration > Select USB tethering
Connect device to PC USB
On PC:
Elevated cmd/ps prompt (maybe not mandatory, but that was my drill)
adb kill-server (precede with .\ in ps)
adb start-server (while device connected) > watch for prompt on device
On device:
Always allow connections from this computer > Yes
On PC:
adb devices gets the following output:

Had similar issue on osx and Nexus 5 (A6.0.1).
I did get the authorization pop-up and confirmed it, despite that Android Studio nor any other IDE could connect to device.
Turned out my Nexus (rooted) was missing key files.
Rebooted Android device into recovery
Ran code pasted below
Rebooted Android device, adb now identifies device
Push key from computer to Android device:
cd ~/.android && adb push adbkey.pub /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
Solution came from here
I was getting this error with my Nexus 10. I tried all of the answers I could find, and then I realized I was using a different USB port than usual. I switched to using the port I usually use, which is on the other side of my laptop, and the authorization popped up on my tablet!
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.
IF your device doesnt shows any messages when connected to the PC.Just do this.
Remove /data/misc/adb/adb_key, reboot your phone and try connect
again. The message should come up.
Recheck 'USB Debug' option in developer options helped me
The solution is to copy your file ~/.android/adbkey.pub (on GNU/Linux, or %USERPROFILE%\.android\adbkey.pub on Windows) to Android, and place it as /data/misc/adb/adb_keys. You need root privileges to do that.
You can transfer the file any way you like (or are able to), be it USB, e-mail or a temporary file upload service. In my case, as it was a new Android-x86 installation in a Virtual Machine, no usable web browser, and with network/TCP adb not working, I had to actually type in the 715 characters.
At least it worked.
If you are on ubuntu, try running the server as root:
sudo adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server
Simply, turn off developer options from your device and again turn on, attach USB with the device and working system and turn on USB debugging.
I was tiered with this, I got that permission dialog by turning off wi-fi of my phone.
Disconnect your device from the computer.
Go into developer settings.
Turn off developer settings.
Turn on developer settings.
Enable USB Debugging (and whatever other settings you enabled beforehand)
Reconnect your device to the computer.
Try again.
Worked for me so hope it works for you!
I was not getting the RSA fingerprint pop up on my phone.
I had to go into the
C:\Users\<userName>\.android\adbkey and adbkey.pub
files, delete those and then do kill and restart of adb server.
I had to stop and restart the debugger and connecting as USB in PTP mode.
Because the RSA authorisation key was getting stored in this path, killing and restarting the adb server didn't help.
This solved my issue!
run your android simulator
go to setting and enable developer mode
enable from the developer settings usb debugging
at this point you will get popup massage at you emulator to authorise the device and you are good to go :)
You should delete the file: c:\users\_user_name_\.android\adbkey
On some Samsung devices the mode change that can be set by dialing *#0808# doesn't stick without direct reboot. Once rebooted, dial the same string and make sure that you have adb + mdp selected and USB set to AP. After this make sure to reconnect phone and restart ADB server. Also try to avoid USB hubs and virtual machines witch surely complicate matter further. The follow the previously mentioned instructions for clearing authorized devices etc.
I had a similar problem. However, it was solved using a different solution. I thought I might share this here as well. Let me describe my problem first.
I had the Android SDK in my ubuntu. The path to the android SDK was not in the environment variable path. I installed adb using a apt-get command and it could not find the sdk home folder and hence, it was showing the unauthorized error and the device was not popping up anything as well. I got stuck here.
Then I uninstalled the adb using apt-get purge which I installed earlier. The Android SDK has the adb program in the platform-tools folder. I just add the path to the environment variable and it worked like a charm.
export PATH=${PATH}:/home/YOUR-USERNAME/path/to/adb
adb devices
List of devices attached
f7f716d56905 device
Hence the problem was not setting the Android SDK to the environment variable path.
The same issue started appearing once I changed my development device, it was solved as:
$ mv ~/.android/adbkey ~/.android/adbkey.old
$ mv ~/.android/adbkey.pub ~/.android/adbkey.pub.old
$ adb kill-server
$ adb start-server
I had the same message in two phones:
- Sony Xperia E
- Samsung Galaxy Core 2
both Android 4.4.2, and i solved it with these two steps:
1.- Updating my adb to 1.0.31, downloading the latest version of Android SDK from SDK Manager
You can check your adb version by typing
adb version
2.- Once the phone is plugged in USB Debugging mode, A message appears asking you to authorize this computer for debugging. You have to mark "Always allow this computer", and click on Allow.
Hope it helps.
it's not may work for all situations but because i used a long cable my device doesnt connect properly and the message wont pop up
change the cable may solve the problem
I just try adb kill-server, it works for me:

Here's what I did that that brought the authorization prompt and made my device appear. I used a Samsung Galaxy s7 edge.
Enable developer mode and USB debugging on your device.
Revoke the USB debugging authorization
Plug your phone to computer via USB.
Drag notification panel and select "Software Installation" as shown in the image below
This will begin installing USB driver and the prompt for USB debugging authorization will show.
Check if you have Samsung Kies installed. That is one possible solution

Sorry for the nooby question, I am having trouble sorting this out using the web.
I am trying to simply connect my device to my pc via adb to debug my application.
My device is rooted. Adb debugging is enabled. I downloaded an adb running application and started ADB.
Now i am trying adb connect ip:5555. and keep on getting "unable to connect to ip:5555" ...
Same happend when i try to connect via usb.

THE OOPS [/facepalm] GOTCHA
check that your phone it isn't in Windows merely as a "Camera" - go to My Computer and look. If it looks like this pic it's that you're not running Samsung Kies(/disabled because it's annoying) the phone still goes "blub bling" when you plug it in, it may be connected via wifi so have a LAN ip but it is NOT really "connected" to ur PC. instead run/download/update this (with phone disconnected) then make sure Kies is happy AND MAKE SURE MTU is enabled
This error happened to me when PC was (accidentally) NOT in the same network as Android. When I logged on Android to the same WIFI network as PC it now works perfect and I don't have this problem.
The answer here is that it's not listening on the correct (default) port. So you need to set the TCP/IP port to 5555. Connect your device via USB and issue the following command in cmd (terminal):
adb tcpip 5555
Following this your adb connect should work fine, e.g.:
adb connect 192.168.0.n
Hope this fixes it for you.
This happened when I was previously connected with one device (e.g. apps2fire) and then tried using adb command from another machine. I rebooted the Android device and then tried again and received the prompt to allow the connection as I would have expected.
First, check your ip address in your device, then following this command.
adb kill-server
adb tcpip 5555
adb connect [your-ip-address]:5555
I am trying to run my android app in my samsung device GT-S6012. I use Windows 7 Home Basic. The driver is installed properly. As soon as I connect the mobile using USB cable, for some seconds "adb devices" shows my phone. But then I get a message USB connection error, windows is unable to detect the device and USB is malfunctioning.
I tried uninstalling/re-installing driver, but no luck. I tried Google on this topic but nothing solved my issue.. Can Anyone let me know how can I fix it
windows is unable to detect the device and USB is malfunctioning
Highly unlikely. Unless your USB connector in your Samsung device is broken, USB cable is dead, or USB port in your computer is not functioning. If it's not, you can enable ADB to work with your device by doing the following:
Install the Samsung Universal USB drivers for mobile devices (which I assume you have done already).
If ADB did not ACK/started. First, open a command prompt (since you use Windows) at \android-sdk\platform-tools\ directory and type adb kill-server to kill ADB. Then, type adb start-server to start ADB. Finally, type adb devices to see if ADB has recognised your devices.
See here for a list of ADB commands you can use with Android.

Run/install/debug Android applications over Wi-Fi?
(41 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
Is there any possible way to debug or run android apps from eclipse to my Sony Tablet S over wifi rather than USB without rooting the device?
There are ways to do it, if the device is rooted. However, I am seeking the solution in a device that is not rooted.
Disconnect device from usb then tell it to listen on 4455
adb tcpip 4455
restarting in TCP mode port: 4455
connect to the device using a specified ip:port. my device is using wifi
adb connect 192.168.1.103:4455
connected to 192.168.1.103:4455
now do normal adb commands over tcp like
adb shell
when your done, you can put it back in USB mode
adb usb
restarting in USB mode
After a bit of dabbling with testing I successfully managed to connect a Sony Tablet S over ADB following this procedure, when both the computer and the tablet were on the same wifi network. I used an Xperia T as a tethering point between a laptop and the Tablet S. I followed the same procedure on an Xperia Tablet S and an Xperia S as well.
Connect the Sony Tablet S through USB to a computer, make sure you have ADB debugging enabled on the tablet.
On the computer, execute "adb devices", verifying the tablet is showing up in the list of available devices.
Execute "adb tcpip [port]" while the tablet is connected to the computer, verifying you get a response "restarting in TCP mode port: [port]"
Disconnect from the device from the computer it was connected to.
From a host located on the same wifi network, execute "adb connect [ip to device]:[port]", verifying you get a response "connected to [ip to device]:[port]"
In the end I launched Eclipse, created a test project and tried launching the project. The project installed and launched automatically from Eclipse. I also tested this for debugging and that worked equally well.
Finally After lots of search, here is the consolidated, short tutorial about "Wireless Debugging with Android without rooting" your android phone.
Steps:
Make sure your Phone and your PC/Laptop is connected in the same network.
Find your Android Device's IP Address: Go to Settings > About Phone > Status. Note down it.
Ping Test: Lets first check if your phone is accessible from your PC/Laptop to do this ping your Android Device and check its response. See Notes if ping is unsuccessful.
e.g: ping 192.168.1.55
Connect your Android Device Via USB in USB Debugging Mode.
Open command prompt and cd into <Android SDK Folder>\platform-tools directory and run the following commands.
adb tcpip 5555
adb connect DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS_HERE:5555
If you want to switch back to USB mode, use the following command.
adb -s DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS_HERE:5555
Disconnect Android Device from USB. If everything is fine, you can Wirelessly debug your Android Apps!
Notes:
If ping is unsuccessful, Make sure Wireless (WiFi) devices and wired devices are not isolated. If Isolated, you need to disable isolation. Router Mfgrs calls it as AP Isolation. There will be a setting in Router's Wireless Configuration page. I have D-Link Router, I unchecked the Enable MultiAP Isolation setting in Wireless Basic Setup Page.
I personally felt this method of connecting is taking more time.. so, I configured my android device so it uses static IP like 192.168.1.55 to connect to my router and I made a windows batch file like below,
#echo off
cd C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\
echo make sure your your Phone is connected in USB Debugging Mode.
pause
adb kill-server
adb tcpip 5555
adb connect 192.168.1.55
pause
so, every time I have just need to plug in my device, and double click the batch file and all done automatic :P !
