Daemon not running. Starting it now on port 5037

Question

[2014-04-16 14:01:05 - Abc] ------------------------------
[2014-04-16 14:01:05 - Abc] Android Launch!
[2014-04-16 14:01:05 - Abc] The connection to `ADB` is down, and a severe error has occurred.
[2014-04-16 14:01:05 - Abc] You must restart `ADB` and Eclipse.
[2014-04-16 14:01:05 - Abc] Please ensure that adb is correctly located at 'D:\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe' and can be executed.

The above error has occurred while I was trying to run a program. As a solution,

I did the following steps by opening the command prompt :

• Close the Eclipse if running
• Go to the Android SDK platform-tools directory in Command Prompt
• type adb kill-server
• then type adb start-server
• No error message is thrown while starting ADB server, then adb is started successfully.
• Now you can start Eclipse again.

but it is not working and in the command prompt it shows :

daemon not running .starting it now on port 5037 ADB server didn't ACK FAILED TO START DAEMON

Solution 1

Reference link: http://www.programering.com/a/MTNyUDMwATA.html

Steps I followed 1) Execute the command adb nodaemon server in command prompt Output at command prompt will be: The following error occurred cannot bind 'tcp:5037' The original ADB server port binding failed

2) Enter the following command query which using port 5037 netstat -ano | findstr "5037" The following information will be prompted on command prompt: TCP 127.0.0.1:5037 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 9288

3) View the task manager, close all adb.exe

4) Restart eclipse or other IDE

The above steps worked for me.

Solution 2

This worked for me: Open task manager (of your OS) and kill adb.exe process. Now start adb again, now adb should start normally.
