Answer 1

If you are suffering from "ADB not responding. If you’d like to retry, then please manually kill ‘adb’ and click ‘Restart’ or terminal appear Syntax error: “)” unexpected" then perhaps you are using 32bit OS and platform-tools has updated up 23.1. The solution is to go back to the platform-tools 23.0.1.

You can download the platform-tools 23.0.1 for Linux here , for windowns here and Mac here

After the download, go to your sdk location > platform-tools folder to delete old platform-tools in sdk and paste down into the downloaded one.

Woohooo ... it should work.

This is a bug with latest ADT.

This issue could be because adb incompatibility with the newest version of the platform SDK.

Try the following:

1. If you are using Genymotion, manually set the Android SDK within Genymotion settings to your sdk path. Go to Genymotion -> settings -> ADB -> Use custom SDK Tools -> Browse and ender your local SDK path.

2. If you haverecently updated your platform-tools plugin version, revert back to 23.0.1.

Its a bug within ADB, one of the above must most likely be your solution.

Answer 6

From the command prompt run the command adb kill-server. This will shutdown ADB and android studio or Eclipse if you were to use that, would show Waiting for ADB as you said.

Once ADB has shutdown down run adb start-server or run adb devices which will automatically start the adb service and show that your android emulator or development devices has successfully connected.
