"ADB server didn't ACK" error while trying to access with sdk

Somebody please help me out of my misery. I followed the rooting directions to the letter, but when I type "adb devices" I get the following error:
* daemon not running. starting it now *
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
I'm in the right directory ( AndroidSDK\tools\ ), I have the android driver installed, I have USB debugging checked, I don't understand why this is not working.
Please help me out here.
I had no problem rooting my palm pre, which was infinately more complicated than this.
Thank you in advance.

had a pre and "rooted" it as well..... using putty is more complicated that this but this is a little more like hacking... whereas on the pre you are just accessing root rather than breaking into it.
anyway... try these
nstall htc sync from htc's website, can you sync?
run cmd as administrator
cd untill you are in the same directory as your adb
type "adb devices"
does it display your hero?
type "adb shell"
does is display "$" ?

Yes, I can sync with HTC Sync. When I do the adb devices I get the error I described above and I cannot do adb shell because I cannot communicate via android sdk.

restart phone/computer
unplug/plugin usb
also find another copy of adb.exe i heard there's a old copy floating out there that doesn't reccognize the hero for some reason but if you got it from a guide you shouldn't have a problem.
download sprint RUU and wipe your phone (if it will connect) also if you want to dig down the ruu has a working adb.exe twisted into their install they dump in your %TEMP% folder

Thank you for your help. Greatly appreciated.

The ADB server binds and listen to port 5037. If that port is taken and/or if the daemon is already running, you'll see that error message.
Start task manager and kill adb.exe (all the instances of it).
If that don't work, try rebooting your computer and your phone, and trying again.
If it still don't work, try this:

Sucussfully rooted, thanks again.

Sorry for reviving an ancient post, but I just wanted to say that I ran into the same issue and opening up "taskmgr" and killing the active instance of "adb.exe" resolved the issue.

Just for help :
I had the same issue and it was my Firewall which blocked the starting of deamon.
Turn off your Firewall can fix the problem

cheers guys, followed the instructions and flashed rec. radio

This solved it for me: edit adb_usb.ini
This solved it for me:
Edit ~/.android/adb_usb.ini file to make sure that there is no extra empty line after the 0x0006 line entry
For other users: I also found this:
After killing ADB.exe run netstat (just "netstat", no parameters) and
see if port 5037 is opened. It probably will be. Wait a while. Run
netstat again, now there are less connections on the port. After a
port 5037 is no longer opened. Only then it's OK to run ADB again.
Please note that this worked for when I killed the ADB.exe process &
process tree from Sysintenal's Process Explorer.
Also, I still don't know why running ADB again before all connection
are closed led to the port never being freed (albeit netstat didn't
show any open connections anymore). Moreover, the problem that forced
me to kill ADB in the first place needs to be solved and there's
enough on that in the forum.

HTC Sync Manager has adb.exe at location C:\Program Files\htc\htc sync manager\htc sync\adb.exe
You have 2 options now:-
1) Delete this adb.exe
2) Copy latest adb.exe from android sdk to this path.
Note: You need to make the 2 copies of adb.exe in sync always(when android sdk is updated) else this problem will come up again.
On windows 7, you can make a link of adb.exe from android sdk to this folder, which will avoid copying manually.
C:\> cd "C:\Program Files\htc\htc sync manager\htc sync"
C:\Program Files\htc\htc sync manager\htc sync\> mklink adb.exe C:\<path to your sdk>\platform-tools\adb.exe

kill htc sync

im not sure, im not very familiar with ADB

I'm pretty new to this, but seems to me you are trying to open the adb that psouza includes with his tools. (If not, then just ignore me)
that's not gonna work for what you are trying to do. i think you need to download the android sdk to get adb working.

i am using the one in the SDK, i have it on my c drive in the correct spot but it still closes itslef

Are you clicking it like an icon or running it from a DOS prompt? It is to be run from the command line as it is a dos/command line program..
Ie.. at the c:\android-sdk-x86\platform_tools\ prompt you type adb and what you want to do.
Adb push or adb pull or adb shell, etc. Just adb will give some command options

First you have to open an elevated command prompt. Do this by clicking the start icon, then typing in "cmd" (without the quotes of course) and then right clicking the only thing that pops up and choosing Run As Administrator. After doing this, you need to know where you folder that contains ADB is at. To find this easily, click Start and then click Computer and in the explorer window that just popped up, type in "adb.exe". That will show you where your adb files are at.
Continuing on, for an example, my adb stuff is in C:\root stuffz. So in the command prompt I would type in "cd c:\root stuffz" and then hit enter. After that, I can then do my adb commands, such as "adb shell", "adb push", "adb pull", etc...
Edit: Make sure you have your drivers installed for the phone. Also, make sure the phone is in debug mode and charge only. This should just about cover most of the absolute basics of getting your phone recognized by adb. I'm not too sure if I missed anything, and one of the other more experienced peeps on here can prob give you more detailed information lol.

[Q] adb returning "error: closed"

Hi,
I'm currently trying to use adb to push some data into my phone but i always get "error: closed". I'm using windows 7 x64 and im running it from cmd.
Almost everything i tried using adb (push, shell, remount) returns this. I've searched over the forums and tried "adb devices" as well to see if my phone is connected, but what is different from the others is i am getting
List of devices attached
XXXXXX host
instead of what most other people got
List of devices attached
XXXXXX device
Is this a problem? What am i missing? Thanks a lot for ur time in reading this

Try:
Code:
adb usb
then
Code:
adb devices
or
Code:
adb kill-server
then
Code:
adb start-server
then

Thank you! Although after doing these commands it still returned error:closed it listed my device as being in sideload mode so all sideload commands worked after that including sideloading a rom .zip

Did you update the SDK Manager??? Try updating that, my ADB problem were gone after i updated them.....

I haven't tried rebooting the device seems to be the only thing I left out.

I was having the same problems. Couldn't sideload. When I would run "adb devices" , my device would be listed. If I ran "adb usb" I would get "error: closed" . The sideload command would just bring up a list of commands. This may help someone, I installed a new version of adb. Not sure if I can post links but the file name was adb-setup-1.1.exe. This installs the needed files, the installer didn't notify me where the files were installed but they installed right to my C:\ drive. This seemed to eliminate the problem for me. I did a lot of searching and couldn't find anyone with this specific issue, so if anyone finds themselves with this problem give this a try.

Perfect - worked for me - exact same issue - adb wasnt recognising my phone was in sideload and sideload command wouldnt work but push would - plus getting error closed message on adb usb command. Googled the above adb file, downloaded, 15 second install and now sideloading is working on my SG2 with CWM recovery 6.0.2.9 (kitkat). I was obviously using an outdated ADB driver (1.0.29).
Thanks a lot KoolAidBigMan !! Big up...
Jimbo
EDIT : Spoke too soon - now getting another error when trying to sideload.. will google it.. failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)'
EDIT : Sorted. Ended up getting round it by pushing the files instead - found instructions on Cyanogenmod forums. Thanks once again.

[Q] Please help! Formatted phone and cannot load O/S! (rooted)

Ok so on my HTC One I loaded TWRP recovery and had a rom installed. I wanted to wipe it out and reinstall a newer version of the rom, and in the process I thought I had a "virtual SD" that wouldn't be wiped out. Boy was I wrong. Now I can get into TWRP and I am reading about "adb sideload" to load a rom zip file to the phone.
I have Windows 8 and I used the trick of installing Windows 7 drivers, but now for some reason the computer shows "Android Device" with an exclamation point. I google'd and found a Windows 8 HTC driver, and now the device shows up "Android USB Devices - MyHTC". So it appears I have drivers installed.
Now I read tutorials and have been searching for hours and I cannot get this to work. I have the ADB Fastboot folder on my desktop and the rom I want to load in that folder. I bring up the command prompt and type in "adb devices". It returns with this:
List of devices attached
FA34PS904380 host
I type in (without quotes) "adb sideload rom.zip" which is in the same directory. It returns with all the possible commands (like a help menu) of how you can use adb.
I'm stuck. Any ideas?
Thanks

using osx to unlock bootloader???

first, i have already unlocked my bootloader using windblowz on a boot camp partition of my mac. BUT, since android is a unix-like os, and osx is a unix-like os, FOR MY OWN EDUCATION, i want to be able to use the osx terminal to do this stuff to my n6.
so here's what i tried, and none of it works... as in, none of it even results in any like link between my phone and my osx computer.
1) i watched this youtube video from droidmodderX, and followed it to the letter:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUkcWlknFsE
from the time he plugs his n6 into his mac, NOTHING he says will happen, actually happened. it was as if i had plugged the phone into nothing. He says NOTHING about installing the android SDK for osx in his video. sooo....
2) next, i install the android SDK for osx, thinking droidmodderX was just careless in his video, and forgot to mention that you need to do this. NOTHING. i open the terminal and run the various fastboot commands from the root directory... NOTHING. using the terminal, i change over to the directory where i actually put the SDK, and then run the fastboot/adb commands from terminal again, and NOTHING. I tried this with the phone in fastboot, and with the phone not in fastboot, and NOTHING.
so how do you get osx to talk to this phone with fastboot/adb commands using the terminal?
fwiw, android file transfer works fine in the gui, so i know the physical connecction is good.
also, fwiw, i did use the search function and someone asked a similar question about his n5 about a year ago... and got no answer. not a single one.
-peter

If you run "./adb devices" without quotes does it see the phone at all? Make sure you have the most up to date SDK for OS X and also make sure you update the platform-tools in the SDK manager.
Check this thread out, might help a bit.
EDIT: Try running the commands as root/sudo.

I used this method on my MacBook Air to root my device without any issues. Make sure that you are in the correct folder when executing the commands. The first time it should ask you for your password. Also make sure that you have USB debugging enabled on your phone and that you are in the bootloader. You can also try to download Android File Transfer (google it) and see if it works with your phone. Hope that this helps.

You're aware that the bootloader on the Nexus 6 can be unlocked simply by toggling "Enable OEM Unlock" under Developer Settings, right?
With that said, I agree that it is smart to keep up with proper ADB/Fastboot commands as those are the most sure fire way to get you out of a pinch.
I have had absolutely no issues using Terminal to perform Fastboot commands on my Nexus 6 using my Mac with OSX Yosemite. As long as you get it setup correctly you should have no issues.
I just dug up the detailed instructions I used to get my Mac setup for this. Start from scratch, follow these instructions and you should be good to go:

As I said in my original post, I already have Android File Transfer, no need to google it. It works great. Had it for years.
I made some headway when I started using ./adb before each command. It sees my device now and when i ran ./adb help, it put out a list of commands and switches in the terminal, that I'm starting to play with. thanks for the ./adb clue. that was a biggie now using ./adb i can reboot and boot into bootloader. but for example "./adb fastboot oem lock", (without the quotes), does nothing. (i used "oem lock" as a test, because the bootloader is already unlocked)

No worries at all - I was frustrated myself until I found the YouTube video. I think after ./ you need a space before you use the command line. What I did was put the CF auto-root folder (unzipped) on my desktop. I renamed the folder CF to make it easy. I opened the folder and doubled clicked on the Mac file. It should open and say just press enter - it will not work. Keep the folder open and open up the terminal. Here is what I had to do.
Put the phone is download mode with "Start" appearing - then plug into computer. (make sure debugging on)
cd /Users/mycomputername/desktop/CF - I needed a space after cd
paste and copy the 3 sudo commands (with the sudo) out of the CF folder one at a time - pressing enter after each.
The first enter - you should be asked for your password.

Going well now guys thanks. I like having two unix-like devices (osx computer and android handset), talking without needing drivers.

I'm in the same boat, except my device won't show up under devices in transmission after the "./adb devices" command.
Got a Nexus 6, 2009 Macbook running OSX Mavericks. I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237 to a T, but no luck. Android File Transfer works just fine. Usb debugging and oem unlock is checked on my phone, I restarted both phone and computer. Any advice/guidance/direction would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
