Solving “adb server version doesn't match this client” error [duplicate]

Answer 1

Mainly you need to delete duplicate adb.exe file. You can use Everything to Find.

keep the platform-tools adb.exe

and add the platform-tools directory to your Environment Path Variable.

I am using Memu Emulator.

So, I have taken these steps:

Go to Memu Installation Directory: (In My Case D:\Program Files\Microvirt\MEmu)

And then Delete the adb.exe file.

It should work fine for you.

Answer 2

This issue for me was caused by having apowermirror running at the same time, from what I can tell any software that could use a different version of adb could cause these issues as others mention in this thread this can include Genymotion or from other threads unreal studio was the problem.

Answer 3

I fixed this by doing the following:

1. going into GenyMotion settings -> ADB tab,
2. instead of Use Genymotion Android tools (default), I chose Use custom Android SDK Tools and then browsed to my installed SDK.

Answer 4

Most likely you have several adb version on your computer. You start adb server using one version and then trying to connect to this server using another version. For example - Genymotion has it's own adb and if you start Genymotion emulator and then try to use adb from Android SDK most likely you will have such error (the latest Genymotion which is 2.7.2 has adb version 1.0.32 while the latest Android SDK has adb version 1.0.36).

Answer 5

One possible reason for the occurrence of this error is due to the difference in adb versions in the development machine and the connected connected device/emulator being used for debugging.

So resolution is:

1. Firstly disconnect device/emulator.

2. Run on terminal/command prompt following commands:

   adb kill-server
   adb start-server
   

This will start the adb successfully. Now you can connect device. Hope it helps.
