How to restart ADB manually from Android Studio

AndroidAndroid Studio

Android Problem Overview


I previously developped Android apps on Android Studio . Everything works fine.

I work on real device, and Android Studio recognize it without issue.

Suddenly when I exit android studio and disconnect and reconnect my device, it doesn't recognize my device anymore, I have to exit and restart Android Studio.

I can't find a way to "Reset adb" like Android Studio.

I follow the below instruction(Tools->Android->Enable ADB Integration) and enabled ADB,but still below error occurred.

Error:-

Solution 1 - Android

Open Command prompt and go to

android sdk>platform-tools>

adb kill-server

press enter

and again

adb start-server

press enter

Solution 2 - Android

open command prompt -> cd to your sdk\platform-tools type below command:

adb kill-server && adb start-server

Solution 3 - Android

  1. Open a Task Manager by pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE, or right click at the bottom of the start menu and select Start Task Manager. see how to launch the task manager here

  2. Click on Processes or depending on OS, Details. Judging by your screenshot it's Processes.

  3. Look for adb.exe from that list, click on END PROCESS

  4. Click on the restart button in that window above. That should do it.

Basically by suddenly removing your device ADB got confused and won't respond while waiting for a device, and Android Studio doesn't want multiple instances of an ADB server running, so you'll have to kill the previous server manually and restart the whole process.

Solution 4 - Android

open cmd and type the following command

netstat -aon|findstr 5037

and press enter.

you will get a reply like this :

  TCP    127.0.0.1:5037         0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       3372
  TCP    127.0.0.1:5037         127.0.0.1:50126        TIME_WAIT       0
  TCP    127.0.0.1:5037         127.0.0.1:50127        TIME_WAIT       0
  TCP    127.0.0.1:50127        127.0.0.1:5037         TIME_WAIT       0

this shows the pid which is occupying the adb. in this 3372 is the value. it will not be same for anyone. so you need to do this every time you face this problem.

now type this :

taskkill /pid 3372(the pid you get in the previous step) /f

Voila! now adb runs perfectly.

Most of the answer is for restarting adb server in the command line.

Jiří's answer is the correct answer for this question (to restart adb server IN ANDROID STUDIO), though it's been redesign as shown below.

go to Tools > Troubleshoot Device Connections

ps. you need to hit "Next" two times to find this Restart ADB server button.

enter image description here

Android Device Monitor was deprecated in Android Studio 3.1 and removed from Android Studio 3.2.

Solution 6 - Android

I do not find a perfect way in Android Studio, get the process id and kill it from terminal:

Open task manager and kill adb.exe, now adb will start normally

Solution 10 - Android

When I had this problem, I wrote adb kill-server and adb restart-server in terminal, but the problem appeared again the next day. Then I updated GPU debugging tools in the Android SDK manager and restarted the computer, which worked for me.

Solution 11 - Android

AndroidStudio:

Go to: Tools -> Android -> Android Device Monitor

see the Device tab, under many icons, last one is drop-down arrow.

Open it.

At the bottom: RESET ADB.

Solution 12 - Android

After reinstalling Android Studio, Is working without adb kill-server

Solution 13 - Android

Make sure you have "USB debugging" turns on.

I never had this issue with my other devices before. However, today I worked on a device and encountered this issue. Actually took me a while to debug it. Always thought "USB debugging" is on automatically when turning on the "Developer Options". But turns out its device dependent.

Solution 14 - Android

Restart adb

Android Studio uses Android Debug Bridge (adb) inside

adb kill-server
adb start-server

e.g.

alex@yoAlex5$ adb kill-server
alex@yoAlex5$ adb start-server
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully

Solution 15 - Android

I'm facing this problem since i have installed another adb server for another software.

So if you are a linux user simply open terminal and type:

killall adb

Solution 16 - Android

A possible solution to your problem could be the following:

  1. Go to ~.android\avd{your_device}.avd

  2. Delete all files with .lock extention
