For me, on Windows 7, killing the ADB server and restarting it via command line did not help. It would not start up successfully.

>adb kill-server

>adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *

So killing the adb.exe process via Task Manager was actually the easiest solution that case.

I had the same problem. I have restarted ADB in any possible way, I have killed the process and restarted the PC with no results.

Then I found this plugin. Just download and install it in your Android Studio IDE. Under Tools -> Android you have a menu ADB Idea. Here you can kill, start, restart, clean ADB.

4. Again install/download from Android SDK Manager

   • adb kill-server
   • adb start-server

Answer 6

None of the above helped me completely. Although Oventoaster made me think. I had a couple of adb on my system. Removed them almost all.

I am running android studio on ubuntu 14.04 64 bit.

So I checked manually /home/xxxxx/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb

where xxxxx was my linux username

this gave

/home/xxxxx/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
