Usually when we get “adb server not ACK ” error, what we do is

1. Goto -> Task Manager -> End process of adb.exe
2. Restart Eclipse

or else  otherwise

1. use adb kill-server and adb start-server commands on adb shell
2. Restart Eclipse

But this error is bit strange. 🙂

Issue: I started getting following error after updating Android SDK tools and ADT plugin.

adb server is out of date. killing…
ADB server didn’t ACK
* failed to start daemon *

Reason: I am using Genymotion virtual device for testing and it uses an older version with its default settings.

Solution:

1. Start Genymotion -> Goto Settings
2. Goto –> ADB  at menu
3. Select “Use custom Android SDK tools”
4. Give path to latest sdk tools

Cheers!  🙂
