tcp - Can't connect to Android via ADB over wifi - Do I need root access?

Question

I'm basically trying to do this: How can I connect to Android with ADB over TCP? with the Droid X2.

I have USB Debugging on, and my phone is plugged in via USB. The IP Address is 10.0.78.33 (I have verified that I can do TCP communication to the phone on that IP, and I can ping it).

I go to the command line and do the following:

>>adb tcpip 5555

restarting in TCP mode port: 5555

>>adb connect 10.0.78.33:5555

unable to connect to 10.0.78.33:5555

Any thoughts on why this doesn't work? Do I need root access in order to do this? I'm trying to avoid rooting the phone.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Step 1 . Go to Androidsdkplatform-tools on PC/Laptop

Step 2 :

Connect your device via USB and run:

adb kill-server

then run

adb tcpip 5555

you will see below message...

daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * daemon started successfully * restarting in TCP mode port: 5555

Step3:

Now open new CMD window,

Go to Androidsdkplatform-tools

Now run

adb connect xx.xx.xx.xx:5555 (xx.xx.xx.xx is device IP)

Step4: Disconnect your device from USB and it will work as if connected from your Android studio.
