After a lot of searching online, and messing around with the adb, i found blog post that for phones running android 4.2, they have to update the Android SDK, on their machines to get it back working, and since only the nexus 4 from all of the other devices i working on runs 4.2 (jelly bean)
to update Android SDK, go the SDK folder and open android
usually found in Documents/Android SDK/tools/android
you'll see the list of installed software, and there will be notifications beside what ever needs an update
