Answer 1

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

Answer 2

> 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.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

For whoever is using Android Studio and MAC. This is what worked for me:

1. In Android Studio: Tools -> Android -> Uncheck "Enable ADB Integration"
2. In terminal: "adb kill-server"
3. In Android Studio: Tools -> Android -> Check "Enable ADB Integration"
4. In terminal: "adb start-server"

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

I found solution like:

Follow step:

1. Open task manager
2. find process adb.exe
3. stop or end it.
4. Run your project.
