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
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.
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
