Try this.

Shift + Right Click on folder C:\android-sdk-windows\tools, go to command mode option from there, and you should see it coming up with a command screen, type in adb devices with your phone plugged into the computer. If it shows your daemon is killing server, don't kill the window yet. Just wait...

It was meant to do this someway or whatever since I have a custom built PC for gaming and other purposes. I just didn't get the tech nerd answer right away for every problem solved, but it was all from you guys in XDA-developers, so I had this same error from trying to run 'adb' from start panel, and it didn't work because it was telling me my adb was needed to be re-installed and my AdbWinUsbApi.dll was missing from my folder, and It didn't tell me what folder, so I remembered my old way of learning how to run adb for the first time with my device.

Shift + Right Click tools folder from C:\android-sdk-windows as in C:\android-sdk-windows - Shift + Right Click RUN COMMAND PROMPT MODE. It should be fine after running this commands for your devices to show in the list.

type:

adb devices

adb remount - This is if your connected to a device already after.

adb install C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\setcpu.apk - example of your first apk file install.

Running the daemon killing server isn't gonna do anything to your phone like technically ruin it or trash it but its not, honestly, I never seen my phone ruined from this daemon killing server part, so if anyone cared to explained?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umaronly:
Sorry guys

Its been about a week since I have been trying on google, unlockr as well as xda forums for unlocking bootloader for nexus S, and I STILL am stuck at my device not showing up when I type 'adb devices' even though I have tried SDK drivers, PDAnet drivers, etc...countless restarts, countless uninstalls, following each and every method to the letter. The closest I have come is to alekosy's issue above where daemon kills the process as he describes and then, nothing. I keep waiting. Every time once daemon starts, whenever I type adb devices, I only get this 'list of devices attached'...and nothing else. in device manager, device driver shows installed correctly...

I would be heavily indebted to anyone who could show me the light (get my device show up in adb devices and then allow me to root).

Thanks a bunch!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espentan:
I don't know if you've figured this one out yet, but here's the solution to a potential cause.

You need to add the directory containing the "AdbWinApi.dll" to Windows' path under Environment Variables, so Windows know where to look for the necessary files when you enter commands in the shell.

For this exercise I'm going to assume that you have installed the Android SDK in the directory called "android-sdk-windows" on your C: hard drive. If you have it installed somewhere else, change the path I'm mentioning below accordingly.

Go to the Windows "Control Panel".

Click on "System and Security".

Click on "System".

Click on "Advanced system settings" in the left column of the window you're in.

Find the button called "Environment Variables" in the window that opens (it's at the bottom on the first tab).

Scroll down in the "System variables" box until you find "Path".

Select "Path" and click the "Edit" button.

At the very beginning of the input field called "Variable value" enter the following:

"C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;" (without the quotes).

Do not remove any of the other paths, and make sure you have a semi colon at the end of the new path you're adding.

Reboot.

Now the windows command shell knows where to find the necessary DLL's and whatnot.

An easier way

[fastboot does not work, adb works]

No need to fiddle with environment variables. This should do it:

cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

..\tools\fastboot.exe devices

etc.

Explanation: the dll's (along with adb) were moved to platform-tools. Issuing fastboot from this directory, using '..', which means "up one directory level", with 'tools' then picks up the dll's.

I had the same problem. twice...

for me it was because I extracted adb straight to C:\android-tools using winRAR.

This created ANOTHER folder within that folder "adroid-tools" and extracted the files there. I just took the files out of the folder and made that folder redundant. This completely solved the problem for me twice now.

Hope this helps.

I don't have a folder called "Android" in Program Files.

The default file name for the folder isn't "android-sdk-windows". It is "adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140321" and I downloaded it from "developer.android." (won't let me type dot com) and unpacked it with WinRAR and saved it to the desktop.

"fastboot-win" was also saved to the desktop and unpackaged in the same manner. I have the .dll in the platform-tools folder but after everything I have tried on this forum, nothing. please help.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reekum@gmail.com:
Anyone or just you

Hi guys. I was wrestling with the same ‘missing DLL’ issue and reading this made me realizing what is the problem in my case. Could be useful for others to know…

When you install the Android SDK, the installer gives you the option to make the resource available to all users of your computer or just for you. Depending your preference, the installer puts the resources in different directories.

When you choose to have it available for anyone using your computer, they’ll be installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk; but when it’s just for you, they’ll be installed in C:\Users\[yourname]\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk

Obviously, your editing of the path in ‘Environment Variables’ should correspond to these locations, or the executable won’t be directed to the proper location and report a missing DLL.

How to Fix Missing AdbWinApi.dll ?

Hey,

As a matter of fact, jinit13122.exe missing/ not found error can be removed in many different ways.

Method One: Troubleshoot jinit13122.exe Missing Error On Your Own.

Step 1. Find out the full name of the DLL file that you require. Write this down in a notepad document or on a piece of paper.

Step 2. Use Google, or some other search engine, to locate the DLL. You can usually find these types of files on DLL collection websites (see Resources).

Step 3. Follow the on-screen steps to download the file to PC. Save it in an easily accessible location such as your desktop, or your “My Documents” folder. Make sure not to rename the DLL file while downloading.

Step 4. These files usually come within a .zip document. Right-click on the .zip, and choose the option “extract here.” This will place the .dll file just outside of the .zip file, so that you can access it.

Step 5. Right-click on the .dll file, and select “cut.”

Step 6. Navigate to your root drive (usually C:), and then to “Windows” and “system32.” Anywhere in this folder, right click on the screen, and choose “paste.” This will copy the DLL into the registry folder for Windows.

Method Two: Uninstall the newly installed program on your computer system

Method Three: Solve DLL missing Problems Automatically.

Download and install SmartPCFixer to remove DLL missing error.

Apologizes if this issue is well known.

Host: Windows XP SP3

Phone: DINC 2.2 rooted

Before upgrading to 2.2, I had no problems connecting to the phone from Windows XP via USB, to access disk sharing, or even just to charge the batteries.

After upgrading and rooting to 2.2, every time I connect the phone, my Windows Explorer freezes up. I cannot launch any program in Windows. The phone is fine. If I toggle USB Debugging mode, repeatedly, then the windows and programs pop open as if something was holding them back. If I disconnect the phone, the same thing occurs.

I've tried deleting all USB devices, reinstalling Google's USB Drivers (which I originally had)- everything, without success.

I am finally reaching out to the community in hopes that I can avoid reinstalling Windows.

Please help!

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ncho2233:
You can't rely on a "format" command from your computer to tell you if its fake. The card has been reprogrammed to report that it has 32gb of space, when in fact physically it's much smaller. The only way to tell is to format the card, then use a specialized program to carefully write data to the card until its "full", then read back that data and compare it to the original. That's the only way you'll know if you bought a fake.

You can't rely on a card being sold in the USA for $100s. They often come from the came sources, just being sold for higher amounts... (ask me how I know).

Also, sometimes buyers are thrilled because they run speed tests on their fake cards and great results, but this unfortunately makes it more likely that the card is a fake, because often due to the smaller size and being reprogrammed, the card will read and write faster than a genuine card will! so... buyer beware.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
that's the catch

they use this trick all the time, because sending it back will cost you like $15+

if you send it without Tracking, then they will claim "it never arrived, no refund"

if you ship it with tracking, you have prove, but you lose $15+

paypal might not be able to do much in this situation, it's a lose lose situation unfortunately

at least the seller will lose the $15 or so he gained from you
