Adb over wireless without usb cable at all for not rooted phones [duplicate]

Solution 1:

The question is about a non rooted device but if it is rooted the simplest way would be to:

From the terminal on your phone, do this:

su
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd

See this answer for full details.

Solution 2:

For your question

Adb over wireless without USB cable at all for not rooted phones

 You can't do it for now without USB cable.

But you have an option:

Note: You need put USB at least once to achieve the following:

You need to connect your device to your computer via USB cable. Make sure USB debugging is working. You can check if it shows up when running adb devices.

Open cmd in ...\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools

Step1: Run adb devices

Ex: C:\pathToSDK\platform-tools>adb devices

You can check if it shows up when running adb devices.

Step2: Run adb tcpip 5555

Ex: C:\pathToSDK\platform-tools>adb tcpip 5555

Disconnect your device (remove the USB cable).

Step3: Go to the Settings -> About phone -> Status to view the IP address of your phone.

Step4: Run adb connect <IP address of your device>

Ex: C:\pathToSDK\platform-tools>adb connect 192.168.0.2

Step5: Run adb devices again, you should see your device.

Now you can execute adb commands or use your favorite IDE for android development - wireless!

Now you might ask, what do I have to do when I move into a different workspace and change WiFi networks? You do not have to repeat steps 1 to 3 (these set your phone into WiFi-debug mode). You do have to connect to your phone again by executing steps 4 to 6.

Unfortunately, the android phones lose the WiFi-debug mode when restarting. Thus, if your battery died, you have to start over. Otherwise, if you keep an eye on your battery and do not restart your phone, you can live without a cable for weeks!

UPDATE:

If you set C:\pathToSDK\platform-tools this path in Environment variables then there is no need to repeat all steps, you can simply use only Step 4 that's it, it will connect to your device.

To set a path: My Computer-> Right click--> properties -> Advanced system settings -> Environment variables -> edit path in System variables -> paste the platform-tools path in variable value -> ok -> ok -> ok

UPDATE 2:

  • Go to the android terminal
  • adb tcpip 5555
  • adb connect your_ip_address

Solution 3:

Had same issue, however I'm using Macbook Pro (2016) which has USB-c only and I forgot my adapter at home.

Since unable to run adb at all on my development machine, I found a different approach.

Connecting phone with USB cable to another computer (in same WiFi) and enable run adb tcpip from there.

Master-machine : computer where development goes on, with only USB-C connectors

Slave-machine: another computer with USB and in same WiFi

Steps:

  1. Connect the phone to a different computer (slave-machine)
  2. Run adb usb && adb tcpip 5555 from there
  3. On master machine

    deko$: adb devices
    List of devices attached
    
    deko$: adb connect 10.0.20.153:5555
    connected to 10.0.20.153:5555
    
  4. Now Android Studio or Xamarin can install and run app on the phone


Sidenote:

I also tested Bluetooth tethering from the Phone to Master-machine and successfully connected to phone. Both Android Studio and Xamarin worked well, however the upload process, from Xamarin was taking long time. But it works.
