update the adb to 1.0.32 if you have 1.0.31 or lower

adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31

Answer 2

Just Try this out !!!

Issue kill and start command in \platform-tools\

C:\sdk\platform-tools>adb kill-server
C:\sdk\platform-tools>adb start-server

Go to your specified sdk in this case here i have use C:\sdk but you must go the place where SDK and kill servers.

Let me know if it works.

Answer 3

You need to set the path of your SDK's adb into Genymotion. By default, Genymotion uses its own ADB tool (for many reasons). If the both binaries are not compatible (if your Android SDK platform tools or Genymotion has not been updated for a while) this problem happens.

To solve it you can define a specific one from the Android SDK. To specify a custom ADB tool:

1. Open Genymotion > Settings > ADB.
2. Check Use custom Android SDK tools.
3. Specify the path to the Android SDK by clicking Browse.
4. Click OK.

Answer 4

Faced the Same Issue, doing the below steps it worked fine

sudo cp /home/username/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb /usr/bin/adb

---

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/adb

---

that's it after this your adb will work fine

Answer 5

for me the problem was that I am trying to use 2 adb processes

sudo apt-get remove adb android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

then go to your sdk and run ./adb start-server

Answer 6

For users of Genymotion, just do this:

ps aux | grep adb

Then look at /home/root/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb.

Copy and paste it to your terminal:

exa:-   /home/buffer/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb   devices

Hopefully you will see:

your ip address:5555    device
