"Eclipse 错误“ADB 服务器未确认，无法启动守护程序”"

Question

After updating the SDK, Eclipse shows this error:

ADB server didn't ACK, failed to start daemon.

When I run an Android application, it gives me the following:

Please ensure that adb is correctly located at 'D:\\android-sdk-windows\\platform-tools\\adb.exe' and can be executed.

How can I fix this problem?

Answer 1

Thanks, @jowett , I have solved my same problem, doing these steps

Step 1: CTRL + Shift + Esc to open the task manager, which has adb.exe process and end (kill) that process

Step 2: Now, close the eclipse, which is currently running on my computer.

Step 3: Again, restart eclipse then solved that problem.

---

For those using OS X

killall adb

For those using Windows

adb kill-server

should do the trick.

Answer 2

I met same problem, though I didn't what caused this. Whatever, i find some clues and fixed finally.

When I open SDK and AVD manager, but find the AVD version(2.3.3) is not same with android lib version(2.3). So I create a new AVD with 2.3.

I fixed it by the following steps: 1. Open windows task manager and kill adb.exe process. 2. Close eclipse and restart it. Then it works.

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

These symptoms occur if you are using the Genymotion emulator (on Windows or Linux) at the same time as Android Studio:

adb server is out of date.  killing...
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *

Genymotion includes its own copy of adb , which interferes with the one bundled in the Android SDK.

The easiest way to fix seems to be to update your Genymotion Settings so it uses the same ADB as your Android SDK:

Just check the "Use custom Android SDK tools" option and enter your desired location.

Answer 4

ADB will often fail if there is a newline in adb_usb.ini . Remove it, restart it, and that will often solve the problem (at least for me anyway).

Answer 5

Command prompt (cmd.exe):

netstat -aon | findstr 5037

Find the process id of 0.0.0.0:

Make sure it's adb.exe:

tasklist | findstr 1980

Kill this process:

taskkill /f /t /im adb.exe

Get ADB back to normal:

Answer 6

If you are using a sync application for the device, it could also be because there are other apps using the same 5037 port. Shut down all services running on port 5037 and try starting ADB.

To check if any application is using port 5037, use this:

netstat -a -n -o |findstr "5037"

Get the PID of the application.

Use Process Explorer to find the Process and exit it.

Now use adb start-server or adb get-state to start/check the ADB server status.

I faced the issue when I used the Snappea / Wandoujia Sync application.

Answer 7

I caused this problem by entering an extra blank line at the end of ~/.android/adb_usb.ini

(Removing the extra blank line fixed the problem)

Answer 8

We can solve this issue so easily.

1. Open a command prompt, and do cd <platform-tools directory>
2. Run command adb kill-server
3. Open Windows Task manager and check whether adb is still running. If it is, just kill adb.exe
4. Run command adb start-server in the command prompt

Answer 9

Make sure USB debugging on your phone is turned on. ADB kill-server and ADB start-server is not the problem.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> adb nodaemon server

 - cannot bind 'tcp:5037'

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> netstat -aon | findstr "5037"

 - TCP 127.0.0.1:1130 127.0.0.1:5037 TIME_WAIT 0
 - TCP 127.0.0.1:1269 127.0.0.1:5037 TIME_WAIT 0
 - TCP 127.0.0.1:5037 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 3088

 - Image name PID session name session # memory usage

========================= ====== ================ ======== ============

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>taskkill /f /pid 3088

 - Success: terminate the PID for the process of 3,088.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>adb start-server

 - daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
 - daemon started successfully *

Answer 10

I have solved my first question: Open Eclipse, open the SDK Manager, and choose the device to open.

Or you can open the SDK directory. Open the SDK Manager, and then choose the device to open

2: Close Eclipse, and then open it.

Answer 11

I've already up-voted another answer here to this question, but just in case anyone was wondering, you don't need to restart Eclipse to get ADB running again. Just open a shell and run the command:

adb start-server

If you haven't set the path to ADB in your system properties then you must first go to the directory in which ADB exists(in Android\\android-sdk\\platform-tools....I'm running Windows, I don't know how the mac people do things).

Answer 12

I had a similar issue. Killing an existing instance of the ADB process from Task Manager did not work for me.

Just few days back, I had tried to install MIPS SDK and ADT-17 earlier and Eclipse gave me the error, and I did not fix that issue.

So, now, when I got this ADB server didn't ACK, failed to start daemon... issue, I executed 'Check for Updates' in the Eclipse Help menu item. There were no updates available, but at least 'ADB server did not ACK' error disappeared.

I hope this might help in a few cases.

Answer 13

Run over to sysinternals.com and pick up TCPVIEW and PROCESS EXPLORER, if you don't have them installed already.

For some reason, the ADB daemon is terminating before the close socket exchange is complete. If you run (from the command prompt) "NETSTAT -o", you will see the socket (generally 5037) in CLOSE_WAIT state and the owning process number. Process Explorer won't show that process ID (the daemon terminated), and the process called adb.exe (which opened the socket) will be gone. (If adb.exe if found, try killing the task and see if things get cleaned up.)

Using TCPVIEW, locate the hung socket. The process name column will show the associated process can not be found. Right click, and select "Close Connection". The socket is now closed, and the adb daemon should be able to start.

Answer 14

Check for the path of the Android directory. It should not contain spaces, etc.

Also check if the plugin has been properly configured in Eclipse → Preferences .

In my case I had everything checked multiple times, but it was still not working. I was about to reinstall everything, but I came upon an answer on this site (some other post).

Do check your antivirus. It may be blocking the ports of adb.exe or emulator programs, etc. That solved the problem in my case.

Answer 15

In addition to @Bastet 's solution:

Actually we have to kill the process using the address 0.0.0.0:0 . That's why for most of the people killing adb.exe from Task Manager was working (in my case I was not able to see it even in Task Manager).

Following the @Bastet steps, I found out that some other process was using this address. I went ahead to kill it, and it gave me ACCESS DENIED as Error .

So using the tasklist | findstr **** tasklist | findstr **** I found out the name of the process and killed it from Task Manager.

Thereafter it started working.

In my case bas_daemon and bas_helper were using this address both of which corresponds to MOBOROBO .

Answer 16

Type ./adb nodaemon server in a terminal.

If it returns Invalid content in adb_usb.ini , then there is a problem with your adb_usb.ini file in the .android folder.

Open adb_usb.ini and erase its contents. Then restart the server...it worked for me.

Answer 17

I had the same problem. But there was no process of adb on my laptop. I just log out and log in to my account, and it's resolved...

ADB could start from CMD windows after that.

Answer 18

The best and the most efficient way without restarting any device or software is:

Run the following:

adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe

And one more thing.. ADB is a self-dependent thing. You cannot do anything until unless it wants itself to work. There is one more way which I found out: Leave the device connected for 5-6 minutes and wait. Soon the device gets connected and tries to launch.

Answer 19

This didn't start happening for me until I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S III phone (following the xda-developer forum guide).

It happens pretty randomly, but it's definitely occurring while running Eclipse.

Killing the adb.exe process and restarting it solves the problem.

Answer 20

看看防病毒或防火墙......是否有任何阻止你访问...在k7杀毒软件我关闭了系统监视器，它确实适合我...

Answer 21

Linux/Ubuntu users this might also be the case.... i had an android emulator running and I had to kill that. To do that do the following

lsof -i :5307

(use sudo if needed) Note the pid in the result of above command. Then

kill -9 <pid_from_above>

then go ahead with

adb shell

Answer 22

Killing Eclipse and then rebooting did not help me. I added the Android tool to the PATH variables, started Task Manager and killed adb.exe.

I restarted Eclipse, and then it worked.

Answer 23

我不得不允许adb.exe访问我的防火墙中的网络。
