Getting strange problem with ADB command

[War Lock]

Hi All,

I am trying to test an android application and i am using emulator (Android SDK) for that. Recently i have installed new kali linux 2.0 on my system. The error that i am getting is that i am able to start my AVD but when i type ADB devices i see a blank line after 'list of devices'. Previously, i was able to perform all actions using ADB command.

I checked it by connecting my own phone to the system and then after hitting adb devices it is showing my device and i am able to run adb shell also. I have tried to search for a solution on google nd have tried almost everything since yesterday.

Please help me if any one of you has some idea about it.

Thanks.

You can verify the debugging enabled on the emulator or a restart of emulator.

I have tried the following steps : 

1. adb kill-server , and then starting it again. But issue remained.

2. I closed the emulator and started again but nothing happened. 

3. i also tried shutting down the system and restarting again. 

4. Updated and Upgraded the system. 

Still the problem is same. 

I am able to locate actual device connected but adb is not able to locate it when there is an avd running.

If you failed in all options 

I would suggest you to go parallel with AppUse -> https://appsec-labs.com/appuse/#av_section_5

Hi Rajesh,

I have recently installed kali linux 2.0 64 bits on system. Earlier i was using kali 1.0 i never came across any such issue with emulator. 

So, I installed android-sdk by apt-get. After which i was getting command not found error with adb. SO, i installed android-tools-adb from terminal. after that i started the avd and typed adb devices to see it. but i am getting a blank line after list of devices. I attached an actual device to see if adb s working fine.. i was able to perform all commands on live device but not on emulator.

I hope this would help you regenerate the issue. 

I have already tried all the tips given on those links.

Hi, 

Can you guide me on how to run Appuse?

I have downloaded Appuse as suggested by you, but i am not able to run it on virtual box. It just gets stuck on a black screen and never gets installed. Kindly guide me on how to use this os. 

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the delayed reply - I was not having public internet access.

If you are getting blank screen after booting looks like the VGA issue of Ubuntu ..

In general to solve it you need to pause it at grub and add any one of the parameters from these 4 -> 1. nomodset 2. "vga=796"  3. acpi=off 4.nolapic  at the end of kernel parameters  remove "quite" and "splash"

You can also try acpi = off and nolapic if  also shows up as a black screen.

i just had to do this. 

adb connect 127.0.0.1:5555

then i tried adb devices then the device was successfully connected.
