After installing the Android O preview on a test device my ADB stopped working and started giving me this error.

adb server version (36) doesn't match this client (39); killing... adb E 03-27 08:01:55 2925 147690 usb_osx.cpp:333] Could not open interface: e00002c5 adb E 03-27 08:01:55 2925 147690 usb_osx.cpp:294] Could not find device interface error: could not install *smartsocket* listener: Address already in use ADB server didn't ACK * failed to start daemon * error: cannot connect to daemon

The only answers I have come across on this issue referred to Genymotion being out of sync with ADB but I don’t use Genymotion. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have already wiped and reinstalled Android Studio as well as all of its tools and settings yet seem to still have this issue.

This works for me...

  • go to GenyMotion settings -> ADB tab
  • instead of Use Genymotion Android tools, choose custom Android SDK Tools and then browse your installed SDK.
