I have forgotten my PIN, so unable to unlock the device to even confirm.
Also, my ADB option occurs only in the case of recovery mode. Is there any way to bypass this authorization for locked phones?

Problem: Adb devices shows device authorised when device is turned on, and adb reboot recovery takes you to sideload, adb sideload filename shows device unauthorised.

Solution: While in this recovery menu, mount system, then go back to adb sideload on device, then try adb sideload file name. Solved!

    unauthorized device, unable to adb anything

    irish@irish-K55A:~$ adb reboot bootloader

    FA2BDS501095 unauthorized

    With the phone connected via usb I went to Dev. Options, unchecked USB Debugging then rechecked it, instantly the confirmation dialog box came up regarding the RSA Key for my laptop. Check the box so it remembers your computer and hit save.

    Same problem, did u get the solution?

    I'm having the same problem, but a bit worst.

    I accidentally erased my OS, so how can I solve that issue without an OS?


    Please help me. I rooted my phone with the procedure given at:
    wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_nicki

    Now , after doing
    fastboot flash boot boot.img
    fastboot reboot

    i did -> wipe data/factory reset.

    after that when i tried -> adb sideload <my cm12.1 package name>.zip
    i am getting this msg.

    error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.

    when i typed -> adb devices
    i got my device unauthorised.

    bit late to the party, but this worked for me

    I had RSA ADB fingerprint issues, worked for ages then stopped working, went through every forum post and nothing worked, then found this post.... stackoverflow.com/questions/31638582/android-adb-devices-unauthorized[/url]
    opening a cmd prompt in this location C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools and running adb from here and it worked straight from the off.
    i've spent 2 nights working on this, so if it helps anyone :D
