Setting Up Android Wireless ADB

Using adb to connect and debug android from your PC using USB has been a common practice and there is a major reason to it i.e. speed. However, there are times when we prefer wireless ADB over wired. So here's how youcan do it:

Method 1: TCPIP Approach

  • Connect your android device with your PC (don't worry, it's just for the first time)
  • Enable developer options by tapping on the Build number in your phone's about section inside settings app
  • Go to developer options and also enable USB Debugging option
  • Allow prompt for USB Debugging (if asked) when connected android with your PC
  • Run adb devices command to ensure that adb is properly set up
  • Run adb tcpip 5555 to restart adb in tcpip mode
  • Check your phone's IP address from your phone's about section inside settings app
  • Run adb connect <phone_ip_address> to connect your phone wirelessly
  • That's all. Now you can run adb commands wirelessly without USB.

Method 4: Wireless Debugging Setting

  • Follow steps 1 & 2 (step 3 optional but recommended) in above method
  • ALso enable Wireless Debugging option in developer settings
  • Allow prompt for Wireless Debugging (if asked)
  • Go inside that Wireless Debugging setting in your phone
  • Tap on the Pair device with pairing code option which'll expose code and IP address with port to you
  • Now run adb pair <phone_ip_address_with_port> on your PC
  • It'll ask you to enter pairing code where you need to enter the pairing code shown in your phone
  • That's all. Now you can run adb commands wirelessly without USB.

Note: For wireless ADB, you need to make sure that your phone and PC is on the same WiFi network.
