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

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      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

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

Look at the antivirus or firewall    Does any of that block you from access    In k7 antivirus I turned off system monitor  and it does works for me

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

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occur if you are using the Genymotion emulator  on Windows or Linux  at the same time as Android Studio   adb server is out of date   killing    ADB server didn t ACK   failed to start daemon     Genymotion includes its own copy of adb  which interferes with the one bundled in the Android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

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

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

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

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

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
