Due to some reason sometimes adb gets disconnected, so in that case you have to reset the adb.

Go to DDMS->Devices and you will see reset adb option in View Menu besides Screen Capture option.

I will call that `Reset ADB` rather! =) And thanks, that works. – Nikhil Girraj Apr 24 '13 at 17:08

Another way to restart the adb is through terminal or command line. Depending on if you have adb in your path just type:

$ adb kill-server

$ adb start-server

If adb is not in your path then:

$ path-to-sdk/platform-tools/adb kill-server

$ path-to-sdk/platform-tools/adb start-server

Hope this helps!

Yes, this is correct but this takes sometime to go to cmd and perform instead we can directly do it from eclipse itself. Thanks. – Lalit Poptani Sep 27 '11 at 13:08
Guys the question is Why does the adb gets disconneted but not how to start it again. – Pavankumar Vijapur Sep 29 '11 at 09:44

Cmd worked it for me. For some reason it would not reset when called from eclipse. – Plastic Sturgeon Mar 12 '12 at 21:13
@PlasticSturgeon yea it is very on/off - sometime restarting eclipse is the only thing that will fix my problems. – jjNford Mar 12 '12 at 21:46

In preferences change the android/DDMS log settings from "error" to "debug". After this you should be able to use the Reset adb option.
