Adb reboot freezes Gennymotion

Question

I used adb reboot several times earlier, without any problems. For some reason this time, however, rebooting adb just freezes my instance of the Gennymotion emulator (API 18 - Android 4.3), and I don't know how to solve this problem. I tried to look at the logarithm when doing an adb reboot, but this did not indicate anything interesting if I did not miss something. Can anybody help?

Another pointer, if that helps, is my emulator device, which constantly says that Google Play services have stopped working. During my previous attempts with Gennymotion and adb, I had this problem several times, and just updating all Google apps worked like a charm in the past. However, this time even this does not work.

Are you sure the version of Google Play Services matches your API? Also try rebooting your emulator using adb shell reboot instead of adb reboot .

If you have multiple devices running, you can start the Genymotion shell and enter devices show . Record the IP address of the device you want to reboot. Now you can connect to a specific device using adb connect ip[:port] (where :port is optional). After you have connected to the device of interest, you can run adb shell to enter the device shell or adb shell <command> to execute only the transmitted command, and then immediately exit the device shell.

To install the appropriate version of Google Play Services on your emulator, refer to this site.
