Answer 1

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

mv adb adb-old
ln -s $ANDROID_SDK\platform-tools\adb adb
