Running Vista, tried starting adb from shell as admin get daemon not running starting it now
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
Any help for this?
This problem has annoyed me for a long time. In addition to the above answer, use these tips:
Create a bat file with the following and run it. This bat file will solve most of your adb problems.
tskill adb
cd \tools\
adb kill-server
adb start-server
ddms
Use the command netstat to monitor the state of connections (adb uses 5037)
If the bat file doesn't work try: disconnect-reboot phone-connect. (hint: use `adb reboot' if adb is responding at all, if not do it the old fashioned way)
Sometimes Windows can be funny. Reboot the machine.
Turn on USB Debugging Mode
Download the Android SDK and unzip
Uninstall all "Android *" from Device Manager
Do an "Add Hardware" from Control Panel, choosing "Install the hardware...
(Advanced)"
Select "Android USB Devices" and click "Next"
Click "Have Disk" and enter the path where the SDK was unzipped
Still not working ? Factory reset the phone.
MTP detection delays ADB. Sometimes you if need boot time logs you may have to disable the MTP driver in Device Manager (Windows)
This is a brilliant patch for adb when you get the error :
Adb connection Error:An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote "
I was unable to use adb. I got the following error, both on the command line and in eclipse.
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
ADB server didn't ACK<br>
* failed to start daemon *
That is, adb start-server failed even after rebooting. To diagnose the problem, I found that you can run adb with the following arguments:
adb nodaemon server
And it will print out the reason that it cannot run. In my case, it was a blank line in the adb_usb.ini file.
You may have a stuck copy of the adb daemon in memory. Try removing it with Task Manager, or reboot, and see if that helps.
For whoever is using Android Studio and MAC. This is what worked for me:
In Android Studio: Tools -> Android -> Uncheck "Enable ADB Integration"
In terminal: "adb kill-server"
In Android Studio: Tools -> Android -> Check "Enable ADB Integration"
In terminal: "adb start-server"
The top answer is Windows-specific but this has a decent amount of Google visibility, so if you're running a *nix-like machine (I'm on a Mac), the steps are similar:
$ killall adb
$ cd <PATH_TO_SDK>/platform-tools/
$ adb kill-server
$ adb start-server
Or, if you're like me and just want to access adb no matter your current directory, add
export PATH=${PATH}:<PATH_TO_SDK>/platform-tools/
to your ~/.bash_profile.
> killall adb
> adb start-server
Restart Eclipse.
Basically adb is running on another process on your box, and you need to kill it, and start up the daemon again, since they're both trying to bind to the same port (:5037). In my case, I had another window open to :5037, and forgot about it. Wondered why I couldn't stop and start as usual. By going "killall" you make sure you're terminating all processes. You can also go into the CPU's processes and force quit.
adb nodaemon server
helps. In my case, I had edited ~/.android/adb_usb.ini, and added 0x1949 at the end to enable debugging on the Kindle Fire. Sadly, it could not handle the newline(s) I put in after the 0x1949
1.$ apt-get remove android-tools-adb
2.$ cd $PATH_TO_SDK/platform-tools/
3.$ ./adb devices
You will see like this:
daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * cannot bind 'tcp:5037' ADB server didn't ACK * failed to start daemon *
That show what errors.
Now you reset you PC, it will well.
Or
# lsof -i:5037
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
wineserve 3609 root 268u IPv4 20118 0t0 TCP localhost:5037 (LISTEN)
#
You will know which software use the port.
To avoid this simply change the following values in your host_config.xml:
<!-- Number of tests executed between reboots. A value <= 0 disables reboots. -->
<IntValue name="maxTestCount" value="10000" />
<!-- Max size [tests] for a package to be run in batch mode. -->
<IntValue name="maxTestsInBatchMode" value="100000" />
<!-- Max time [ms] between test status updates. -->
<IntValue name="testStatusTimeoutMs" value="600000" />
I had the same problem. I had improperly edited my adb_usb.ini file (I had two carriage returns at the end of the file...yes this was hard to find.)
This file is located somewhere similar to /Users/{user-name}/.android/adb_usb.ini
(replace {user-name} with your own user name)
Make sure the file reads EXTACTLY (No spaces/carriage returns/line breaks before or after):
'# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT."
'# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE."
'# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE."
(IMPORTANT!!! There are no ' (apostrophes) in the actual file, this was the only way for me to post this without it interpreting the # for BOLD).
Hope that helps someone
If you're using Android Studio, if
you have the "Device chooser" dialog open
you try to run "adb devices" from your command line
it leads every single time to the following error
adb server is out of date. killing...
cannot bind 'tcp:5037'
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error:
SOLUTION (easy and quick)
Close the "Device chooser" dialog. My guess is that it tries to take over the adb connection in a.. very intensive way.
I'm facing this issue with Genymotion, so I've replaced it's adb with my current adb. For reference:
cd $GENYMOTION_HOME\tools
mv adb adb-old
ln -s $ANDROID_SDK\platform-tools\adb adb
There is yet another possibility. If you have installed any permission managers, like Advanced android permission manager , the adb may fail.It was my case. Uninstalled the app and then no issues.
It seem are the same,
but sometime, the command adb kill-server have no effect (at least is in my case).
So, i have tried other way.
You can check this way: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34627522/5597864
In a console, try:
taskkill /F /T /IM adb.exe
Do this many times, until it says ERROR: The process "adb.exe" not found.
Then
adb devices
The adb server is not running. you can open the command line window in Windows to check which process is using the 5037 port, remember the process number.
netstat -ano |findstr "5037"
Then use the Ctrl+alt+delete to open the process manager to kill the process which is possessing the 5037 port. You maybe need to try this several times until the 5037 port is free to use.
Open Command
Navigate your adb.exe file where is located
Reach into the file on command
adb kill-server
adb start-server
When it additionally says that adb server is out of date. killing... it kills it for you.
The problem is it restarts as soon as was killed.
So you should consider finding the adb.exe wherever it could be.
The simplest way to do that is opening a Task Manager, finding an adb.exe process -> RMB -> Open file location -> delete it from there. Unless it's not needed, in this case you should update it.
In my case it was in C:\Windows\ and came with their Visual Studio.
If you are getting the error cannot bind 'tcp:5037' and you are using any Linux distribution such as Ubuntu,
Kill old ADB process:
fuser -n tcp -k 5037
This will kill the adb process at port 5037 and then,
Start ADB:
adb start-server
Usually the answers given here worked for me, but today they didn't. My problem was fixed by updating the emulator and SDK to the latest versions from the SDK manager.
On A Mac or Unix
For those of you coming here with on Mac or Unix, the following worked for me:
adb kill-server
adb server

Adb won't start

Closed 6 years ago.
I could not run the android application never on my laptop. Eclipse gives same error constantly, that is "ADB server didn't Acknowledge"
I've tried everything, restart adb from ddms view, from command line (kill-server, start-server), from task manager and restart eclipse. When I manage to start adb server and re-open eclipse, as soon as I run the android application, same error comes to console; ADB server didn't ack.
Could you give an idea except restarting adb
Killing the process adb.exe in the TASK MANAGER (to open task manager CTRL+Shift+Esc) solves it in my case. After killing it run adb start-server or adb devices and you should be fine.
Incase if that doesn't work
We can solve this issue so easily.
Open command prompt, cd <platform-tools directory>
Run command adb kill-server
Open Windows Task manager and check whether adb is still running. If it is, just kill adb.exe
Run command adb start-server in command prompt
A way bit difficult approach
Command Prompt (cmd.exe)
netstat -aon|findstr 5037
find process id of 0.0.0.0
make sure it's adb.exe
tasklist|findstr 1980
kill this process
taskkill /f /t /im adb.exe
get ADB back to normal
for more details check it from here
For Mac users, what worked for me was:
Open Activity Monitor (equivalent to Windows task manager)
Kill the adb task
Restart adb
Please kill adb by command:
taskkill /f /im "adb.exe"
then, re-start it with command:
adb start-server
It work very fine for me :)
Look for typos in the ~/.android/adb_usb.ini file. This problem can be caused if that file gets messed up.
In my pc, i use the command line taskkill /f /t /im wandoujia_daemon.exe (because adb.exe or bas_daemon.exe is not running in my task manager)
And... the adb server is started succesfully
in my case i use the command line taskkill /f /t /im bas_deamon.exe (because adb.exe was not started) and adb server is started successfully
In addition to #maveňツ solution.
Actually we have to kill the process using this address 0.0.0.0:0, that's why for most of the people killing adb.exe from task manager was working (In my case I was not able to see it even Task Manager).
Following the #maveňツ steps I find out that some other process was using this address.
I went ahead to kill it, it gave me ACCESS DENIED as Error.
So using the tasklist|findstr **** i find out the name of the process and killed it from task manager.
There after it started working.
In my case bas_daemon and bas_helper were using this address both of which corresponds to MOBOROBO
Kill ADB from command prompt.
Kill eclipse also from command prompt.
Start adb server from there using [adb start-server]
And start again.
I believed you've checked the port number, and restart adb. But have you install proper android driver on your computer. Some universal android driver may not work on your computer, you'd better installed the driver provided by your mobile manufacturer, if you can't find the driver on manufacturer's website, consider download its software suit, it may include the driver.
I keep having an issue with the Android Studio ADB not recognizing my devices. So far, the only solution I've found is to do a complete reboot of my entire computer, which isn't practical. I'd like to be able to restart the ADB from terminal, because I have seen other posts on here that claim it will fix the issue. However, I can't figure out where to use the commands "adb kill-server", because doing it at the base directory returns a "command not recognized". Can somebody help me figure out how to navigate into Android from terminal and use the command? Or, does anybody have another solution to the original problem of Android Studio not recognizing my devices?
Thanks in advance! Sorry for the wordiness.
blackbelt:~ blackbelt$ adb kill-server
blackbelt:~ blackbelt$ adb start-server
works on Linux as well as on Mac. In my machine, adb is in PATH
"command not recognized". Can somebody help me figure out how to
navigate into Android from terminal and use the command? Or, does
anybody have another solution to the original problem of Android
Studio not recognizing my devices?
In your case adb is not declared in PATH. You can either export the PATH, or specify the full qualified path to adb in the command line. E.g.
blackbelt:~ blackbelt$ /path/to/platform-tools/adb kill-server
blackbelt:~ blackbelt$ /path/to/platform-tools/adb start-server
or
blackbelt:~ blackbelt$ ./adb kill-server
blackbelt:~ blackbelt$ ./adb start-server
if you are inside platform-tools
Well instead of doing it through command line, if you find that hard you can also do the same from android studio.
Go to tools -> Android -> Android device monitor . Then it will open the separate window where you can see all the devices or emulator attached to the process. On the left hand side below the Devices tab there will be and menu bar, you need to click on the drop down arrow which will give you the option to reset the adb. Here is the image for reference
If you are using windows try to update the device driver for your device make sure the adb is correctly installed. When you connect your device to system see if it is allowed to be used at the system.
if adb kill-server not responding. Find the process id (PID) by typing top in terminal and finding PID next to adb. Then type kill <PID>
For example, for me PID for adb was 70163. Then i typed kill 70163
Simply stop adb:
adb kill-server
Then you can start it again any time:
adb start-server

In ADB, I am facing an error when I am trying to print the version with
padmakumar#padmakumar-desktop:~$ adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.29
but its showing below error
padmakumar#padmakumar-desktop:~$ adb devices
error: protocol fault (no status)
NOTE: adb kill-server is not working i.e it's not responding.
and in my Eclipse console I am getting this error:
Android Launch!
[2012-01-09 20:31:28 - Shopping List] The connection to adb is down, and a severe error has occured.
[2012-01-09 20:31:28 - Shopping List] You must restart adb and Eclipse.
[2012-01-09 20:31:28 - Shopping List] Please ensure that adb is correctly located at '/home/padmakumar/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb' and can be executed.
I also came across the same error when I was trying to install one app in emulator. You need not restart PC to overcome this. Just kill the server. if 'adb kill-server' is also not working, kill the process (adb.exe) through task manager. There you go!!
Task Manager -> Process -> adb.exe -> End process
That worked for me.
If zombie adb process is not the issue i.e. there's no adb.exe in the task-manager list, the problem is usually adb ports e.g. 5555, 5554, 5037 etc., being taken by other applications.
Solutions:
On all Windows: find the process taking one of those ports using netstat -bn and kill it from task-manager Ctrl+Shift+Esc is the shortcut.
On Windows 7 and 8: there's this new tool called Resource Monitor. It'll also allow you to find out the blocked port and blocking process under the network tab.
On Linux: the similar is done with netstat -pn. Feel free to use your grep foo as needed and kill the blocking process with kill or pkill.
Change Default ADB Port: Apparently default ADB port can be changed as described here by setting up an environmental variable before launching ADB. Give it shot. It'll allow more flexibility if you don't want to kill the blocking processes.
navigate to adb.exe folder
shift + right click inside the folder
start commandline from here
unplug any android device connected to your PC
type "adb.exe wait-for-device"; press Enter
connect your device; wait for commandline to finish
done
adb kill-server did not work on my Linux computer
First, I used ps -ef | grep adb and killed all adb deamonswhich did not solve the problem.
Then I usedps -ef | grep javaand saw a process that was blocking theadb`.
Upon killing that process, adb worked perfectly.
Maybe this process can be helpful for someone.
On trying to kill multiple adb.exe processes from windows Task Mgr it said "Access is denied". On Windows 7, Resource Monitor allows those adb.exe processes to be killed.
install following packages
sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32z1-dev lib32stdc++6
if you are using Genymotion then set path of Android SDK in its settings.
ref :http://www.intellicode.in/adb-not-responding-wait-more-or-kill-adb-or-restart/
Install again ADB.EXE in your SDK path like
Steps :
1)Close Your Android Studio
2)Fine path in Your Computer->[drive][your SDK path]\Sdk\platform-tools
3)Replace this path at adb.exe File or Download again if not updated adb.exe File.
4)Click on adb.exe if the command prompt is open and details see and then close automatically then its work. OR if any error occurred or not start adb-server again replace this file .
5)Now successfully run your adb-server open android studio and connect your device after Developer Option ON .
If using the "kill-server" parameter doesn't work you will have to kill the process itself.
In case you use GNU/Linux you have to use the command "ps aux|grep adb" to find the pid of the adb proccess, or directly with "pidof adb" and then "kill PID" where PID is the pid number of the adb process. This should also work with Macintosh and other Unixes (although the parameters of the "ps" command may be different)
In Windows just open the task manager to and kill the adb entry in the proccesses table
From James Tan's answer:
After investigating for a long time, finally i found out that adb
daemon keep restarting. and it is because my chrome have enabled
android debugger. In chrome address bar, open:
chrome://inspect#devices, then uncheck Discover usb devices.
Next:
Open Power Shell as administrator
cd C:\Users\PC01\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools
./adb kill-server
./adb start-server
I am a budding android developer and if there is no easy way of configuring the adb server to run on another port then the inflexibility of the tools will force me to quit android app development.
A web search did not return any solutions.
I also searched for '5037' in all files in android sdk directory but did not find a setting there.
Use the environment variable ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_PORT to select the port.
The following works under bash:
$ export ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_PORT=12345
$ adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 12345 *
* daemon started successfully *
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
TA2070M5O6 device
$ ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_PORT=6789 adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 6789 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
In another terminal I ran:
$ ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_PORT=6789 emulator ...
Back to original terminal:
$ ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_PORT=6789 adb devices
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
$ adb devices # ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_PORT was exported as 12345
List of devices attached
TA2070M5O6 device
I found this via the Jenkins Android Emulator Plugin as I noticed it was running adb on a different port.
With the latest adb version,
Use option -P (Note: Caps P)to start adb server in a specific port.
For Example, Try
$adb -P 5038 start-server
It will list the devices attached to this specific adb server. If the adb server is not running then it will start a new adb server with the given port number.
Hope it helps someone reading this post.
Thanks.
In Windows, go to Environment Variables – Add a new one called ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_PORT
and set it to whatever you want, I've set to 5038.
Should look like this:
Solved it for me.
There is another variable that supports this for connecting to a different machine's adb:
ADB_SERVER_SOCKET=tcp:some.other.host:1234 adb devices
To use it, you need to start adb on the other host with -a and probably background it too:
( adb -a -P 1234 nodaemon server & ) &
