I have an Android device with Android 5.0. I turned on USB debugging and connected it to one laptop. The android device displayed a pop-up for USB debugging authorization, I allowed it. After a few days, I accidentally broke the Android device screen, it's not sensing any touch input and the screen display is quite broken. I have another laptop, and now I want, connect to that Android device to USB debugging.

  • How do I do it?
  • Is it possible to force "USB Debug authorization" from the laptop side?
  • Are USB Debugging Permission given to one laptop stored/saved in that laptop, like a file in the android-sdk folder or platform-tools folder, so that I can copy that file to another laptop and make it works, OR transfer RSA fingerprint, or any other ideas?

You can simply copy the adb private adb public key file to a new computer or a different user profile:

# Windows
%USERPROFILE%\.android\adbkey
%USERPROFILE%\.android\adbkey.pub

Linux/MacOS


~/.android/adbkey
~/.android/adbkey.pub

Afterwards you may have to restart the local adb server if it is running. You can do so executing adb kill-server. Afterwards the new adb keys should be used and you can open adb connection to your phone.
