Don't see genymotion virtual device at list

Found solution! Looks, like this is some adb or Genymotion bug. To solve this, you must manually connect adb to running Genymotion Device In first, you need to know Androids internal IP. You can find it in window title of Genymotion device. Next:

  1. cd to your Android SDK dir
  2. cd to platform-tools
  3. ./adb connect 192.168.57.102:5555

where 192.168.57.102 is my IP address of Genymotion Virtual Device. You must put here your own


Update: This is no longer necessary with Genymotion 3.0.2

This is likely caused by a behavior change introduced in ADB in the Android SDK, in platform-tools 28.0.2.

The easiest workaround for now is to downgrade platform-tools to 28.0.1. Unfortunately the SDK manager does not let you do that easily, so you have to manually download the zip for your platform.

The urls for platform-tools 28.0.1 are:

  • Linux: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r28.0.1-linux.zip
  • macOS: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r28.0.1-darwin.zip
  • Windows: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r28.0.1-windows.zip

You have to:

  1. Download the right zip
  2. Kill any running adb process
  3. Find the platform-tools folder in your Android SDK installation, and backup/rename it
  4. Unpack the zip in the parent of the platform-tools folder

This worked for me.

Go to Android-SDK\platform-tools ./adb kill-server
