Android Studio wireless ADB error (10061)

It seems that wireless ADB has more and more issues each time I update Android Studio. Using 2.1.1, I'm now unable to connect to my tablet using the command:

adb connect <ip addr>

It results in the error:

unable to connect to <ip addr>:5555: cannot connect to <ip addr>:5555: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)

This happens directly after approving the connection in the dialog box on the tablet. Before today I was forced to do an adb kill-server prior to attempting to connect to the tablet but now that doesn't even help.


Solution 1:

Generally you can say this error is network related, check these items first:

  • make sure your computer and your device can see each other in network mostly this means they are connected to the same router, but in more advanced scenarios your device may be connected to a wireless router and you computer may be connected to you Local Area Network. what is important is they can see each other. you can check this by pinging you device ip address from you computer.

  • make sure there is no conflict with ip addresses, this might be very simple. but if you do not use DHCP server and you enter the ip addresses in you devices you could mistakenly entered same ip address in different devices

when you are sure about the network issues redo the famous steps

So when you connected by USB follow these commands:

  1. stay connect via USB

  2. connect to your WIFI network (computer and mobile device both)

  3. ping DeviceIP (must be have ping to your device)

  4. adb kill-server

  5. adb usb

  6. adb tcpip 5555

    1. unplug usb cable (as per @captain_majid 's comment)
  7. adb connect yourDeviceIP

  8. adb devices (must be see two device names , one of them is by deviceIP)

  9. unplug USB cable

Steps from could not connect to tcp:5037: cannot connect to 127.0.0.1:5037: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)

Solution 2:

when restart device then your port also channge so hit command below

1- adb kill-server

2- connect your phone to pc with usb cable

3- adb tcpip 5555

4- adb connect (your device ip):5555

Solution 3:

Device and PC are connected to same network connection.

1 stay connect via USB

2 adb kill-server

3 adb usb

4 adb tcpip 5555

5 adb connect 192.168.43.1:5555

6 adb devices (must be see two device names , one of them is by deviceIP)

7 unplug USB cable

Solution 4:

I had the same issue. These steps worked for me:

  1. connect your device with usb
  2. when your cmd already in AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>,type adb tcpip 5555
  3. the cmd will show restarting in TCP mode port: 5555
  4. type adb connect 192.168.43.1:5555

Hope this can solve your issue.
