When I type in "adb devices", the output is "error: protocol fault (no status)". The adb functionality is broken in both Android Studio and Eclipse, so it's a problem with the connection, I believe. I tried to kill adb.exe from the Task Manager, but it's not listed in the processes. Any tips?

Try to open the this directory :

adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130917\sdk\platform-tools

Hold shift + right mouse click. Select open command prompt here.

After that,

in the command window type 

adb kill-server

and then

adb start-server

then,

adb devices

See if the adb is started and if your device is visible on eclipse or android studio.

  • Thanks for the reply, but the problem still persists. The kill-server command returns: * server not running * Commented Apr 24, 2014 at 15:30
  • Try doing just adb start-server and see if it shows, deamon started Commented Apr 24, 2014 at 15:50
  • I tried that, it doesn't show anything, it just goes to the next input. Commented Apr 24, 2014 at 15:51
  • The output should come like this : * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * Commented Apr 24, 2014 at 15:52
  • Yeah, I think that's why it's not showing up in the process list. Any ideas on how to fix it? Commented Apr 24, 2014 at 15:52

My problem was my parental controls software. The adb.exe works fine with it disabled.

Same problem i faced in past, the solution worked for me is: Navigate to the plateform-tools(it is under SDK) and execute following commands on cmd.

  • C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>set ADB_TRACE=1

  • C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb start-server

I hope it will help you
