Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes, troubleshooter articles and user guide
Have I searched the tickets before posting? yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? yes user guide
Joomla! version: 2.5.4
PHP version: 5.2.17
MySQL version: 5.0.95-community
Host: (optional, but it helps us help you)
Admin Tools version: 2.2.2

Description of my issue:
In Joomla 2.5's extension manager's discover tab admin tools is stuck in an infinite loop and will always display. clicking install will "reinstall" admintools, but once discover is rerun admintools will again be in the list.
This may be related to the other menu item issue mentioned in Ticket 11838 (a ticket which I accidentally closed).

Yes they are both related (I removed the other ticket). This is a bug in Joomla!. You will have to do some database surgery to fix that. The exact procedure is outlined here: https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/troubleshooter/abinstallation.html Look under the "Joomla! 1.6/1.7/2.5 installation problems" header and replace com_akeeba with com_admintools.

I followed the instructions provided. Everything seems stable right now. Admintools is no longer listed in the discover tab.
