adb server version doesn't match this client

Whenever I try to run adb devices:

            $ adb devices
            * daemon not running. starting it now *
            * daemon started successfully *
            List of devices attached
            HT0ANRV05740    device

It says daemon is not running and restarts the daemon.

Then, if I run adb devices again, it does the same thing -

            $ adb devices
            adb server is out of date.  killing...
            * daemon started successfully *
            List of devices attached
            HT0ANRV05740    device

Then, if I run it again, it again does the exact same thing -

            $ adb devices
            adb server is out of date.  killing...
            * daemon started successfully *
            List of devices attached
            HT0ANRV05740    device

Please help!!

Also, my DDMS keeps giving me the following message -

[2011-02-23 16:17:05 - DeviceMonitor]Adb connection Error:An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Here are the logs from just before adb restarts -

Are you using Genymotion for a virtual device?

if yes this error probably came out because ADB from Genymotion conflicted with your ADB from Android SDK(using same port number), to fix this simply go to settings => choose ADB tab => click on the option Use custom Android SDK Tools and set your SDK folder

enter image description here

after you configure this, try to restart your adb by going into folder platform-tools which adb placed and do this command:

  • ./adb kill-server
  • ./adb start-server

*tips: You may close the process of Genymotion before running the command above

Hope this help.
