that happen when u r trying to connect using usb??
u have tried to restart adb server by :

adb kill-server
adb start-server

Aravisian · June 3, 2023, 5:36pm

Is the developer a Bloom County fan?

I second @eid 's suggestion.
You may also need to set your sdk path manually. Do you have a ~/.android directory?

Atharva · June 4, 2023, 4:36am

okay sorry for the late reply heres the error im gettin doin that the adb daemon is running

scrcpy

/adb connect 192.168.0.102
adb server version (39) doesn't match this client (41); killing...

are there any good alternatives to this? for the time being atleast i could do some progress in my work.

As mentioned above, you may need to manually set your path. Please see here for more detail.

You may need to remove the ~/.Android directory in order to reset it to all defaults.

Atharva · June 4, 2023, 5:08am

so i deleted the .android folder rebooted and tried scrcpy i get this

also why doesnt zorin come with the latest adb version? and how can i replace the default platform tools with the latest one i downloaded
appreciate your help guys <3

Aravisian · June 4, 2023, 5:23am

Have you followed the steps in the Link I posted or manually set your path?

Atharva · June 4, 2023, 5:35am

um im sorry but i did not quite understand it can you please explain the steps in simple words?

eid · June 4, 2023, 11:06am

i don't know u r trying to use scrcpy by using usb cable or u r trying wireless connection?
I think there is no problem when using usb cable that support transfer data, u just need to enable debug mode in ur phone.

if the problem in using scrcpy in wireless mode, u need to pair ur pc with ur phone using the command adb pair.
adb pair command not supported in the version used by zorin and scrcpy.
so the steps will be:
1- install the last adb version that support pair command
2-go to ur phone and enable wirless dubg
3-open terminal in the folder that has adb that u downloaded, and type that in terminal:
./adb pair ip address phone
4-go to ur phone and in wirless dubg u will see ur pc is paring with ur phone, get the port from the info in that filed and use it in the following commands
./adb connect 192.168.1.5:port(note: ur will use ip of ur phone and the port that u will find it in wireless debug field)
./adb tcpip port
adb connect 192.168.1.5:port(note:u will use the old version here)
scrcpy

Aravisian · June 5, 2023, 5:11am

I am sorry, I cannot explain the steps because the steps are dependent on your setup.
I do not know the path without having access to your computer. But you can look for and identify the path.
Check GenyMotion settings -> ADB tab and check if you need to set a custom path that directs to Scrcpy

Or try emulating what this poster did:

In my case this error occured when I set up my environment adb path as ~/.android-sdk/platform-tools (which happens when e.g. android-platform-tools is installed via homebrew), which version was 36, but Android Studio project has Android SDK next path ~/Library/Android/sdk which adb version was 39.

I have changed my PATH to platform-tools to ~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools and error was solved

Look in the relevant folders in your Home Directory and see what paths are being directed in your settings.
