error: cannot connect to daemon at tcp:5037

Issue

Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. (10048) Please can someone help me

I've tried many of the suggestions and none have worked

Solution

Have you tried killing or stopping the process that is currently running on that port ?

ps aux | grep 5037

kill -9 'running process id'

for instance :

ps aux | grep 5037

12814 0.0 0.0 34140220 872 s000 S+ 4:06PM 0:00.00 grep 5037

then: kill -9 12814

Could you also see the solution here adb cannot connect to daemon at tcp:5037
