After installing the Android O preview on a test device my ADB stopped working and started giving me this error  adb server version  36  doesn t match this client  39   killing    adb E 03-27 08 01 55  2925 147690 usb osx cpp 333  Could not open interface  e00002c5 adb E 03-27 08 01 55  2925 147690 usb osx cpp 294  Could not find device interface error  could not install  smartsocket  listener  Address already in use ADB server didn t ACK   failed to start daemon   error  cannot connect to daemon  The only answers I have come across on this issue referred to Genymotion being out of sync with ADB but I don   t use Genymotion  Any help would be greatly appreciated  I have already wiped and reinstalled Android Studio as well as all of its tools and settings yet seem to still have this issue

In my case this error occured when I set up my environment adb path as ~/.android-sdk/platform-tools (which happens when e.g. android-platform-tools is installed via homebrew), which version was 36, but Android Studio project has Android SDK next path ~/Library/Android/sdk which adb version was 39.

I have changed my PATH to platform-tools to ~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools and error was solved

As mentioned by others here  that you could have two adb s running       And to add to these answers from a Linux box perspective   for the next newbie who is working from Linux      Uninstall your distro s android-tools   use zypper or yum  etc      zypper -v rm android-tools  Find where your other adb is    find  home -iname   adb  grep -i android   Say it was at     home developer Android Sdk platform-tools adb Then Make a softlink to it in the  usr bin folder   ln -s  home developer Android Sdk platform-tools adb   usr bin adb  Then      adb start-server

I think you have multiple adb server running  genymotion could be one of them  but also Xamarin - Visual studio for mac OS could be running an adb server  closing Visual studio worked for me

To add yet another potential solution  Helium by Clockworkmod has it s own version of ADB built in that kept being started  Exiting the Helium Desktop application resolves the issue

I had the same error  In my case  using Appium  I had two versions of ADB     usr local bin adb version 36  and     Users user Library Android sdk platform-tools adb version 39  The solution was    be sure that your  PATH in bash profile is pointing to   Users user Library Android sdk platform-tools  stop the adb server  adb kill-server and check Appium is stopped  delete the adb version 36  or you can rename it to have a backup   rm  usr local bin adb start adb server  adb start-server or just starting Appium

You have two versions of ADB    usr local bin adb version Android Debug Bridge version 1 0 36 Revision 0e9850346394-android  and    Users user Library Android sdk platform-tools adb version Android Debug Bridge version 1 0 39 Revision 3db08f2c6889-android  You could see which one your PATH is pointing to  echo  PATH  but I fixed it with a adb stop-server on one version and a adb start-server on the other

I had the same problem with Android Studio - adb server version  37  doesn t match this client  39    I fixed by the following solution    In Android Studio go to Tools - gt  Android - gt  SDK Manager  In the SDK Tools tab untick Android SDK Platform-Tools  click Apply to uninstall   I then renamed the folder Platform-Tools to Platform-ToolsOld  Then back in the SDK Manager re-tick the Platform-Tools to re-install

This works for me      go to GenyMotion settings -  ADB tab instead of Use Genymotion Android tools  choose custom Android SDK Tools and then browse your installed SDK

First of all  please remove the  quot  Not using Genymotion  quot  from the title  It distracts readers like me who don t know what Genymotion is  The absurd here is that you got the second highest voted answer with currently 90 points which says  quot go to GenyMotion settings quot     The main point that all the others have missed  is that you will get this error when you have a running adb process in the background  So the first step is to find it and kill it  ps aux   grep adb user          46803   0 0  0 0  2442020    816 s023  S     5 07AM   0 00 00 grep adb user          46636   0 0  0 0   651740   3084       S     5 07AM   0 00 02 adb -P 5037 fork-server server  When you find it  you can kill it using kill -9 46636  In my case  the problem was an old version of adb coming from GapDebug  If you got this with GapDebug  get out of it and then do adb kill-server adb start-server  because with GapDebug in the background  when you kill the adb server  GapDebug will start its own copy immediately  causing the start-server to be ignored
