Already, we have covered\u00a0how to use ADB\u00a0and the things that you can do using ADB, and sure you must have wondered if there\u2019s an approach to use ADB\u00a0wirelessly. We have decided to free you of the woes of connecting devices using unmanageable cables because, wires only get in the way, restrict movement, cause obstructions and are generally very untidy to look at.<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

Ways to use ADB wirelessly<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

There are two different ways to enable wireless ADB on your device.\u00a0One for rooted devices and another for non-rooted devices.<\/p>\n

Note<\/u><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Both your computer and your Android device must be connected to the same WiFi network for these methods to work.<\/p>\n

You can make it work on different networks as well but you\u2019ll have to use port forwarding, which isn\u2019t a very simple to use.\u00a0Now, we\u2019ll start off with the process for non-rooted devices, as it applies to most Android devices.<\/p>\n

Wireless ADB on non-rooted Devices<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Note<\/u><\/strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0This requires a onetime use of a USB cable.<\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t on a rooted device follow the steps below to enable wireless ADB on your device.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Connect your device to your computer\u00a0<\/strong>via the USB cable.\u00a0Allow USB debugging<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"How<\/strong><\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

      \n
    • Fire up the Terminal<\/strong>(Command Prompt on Windows) and check that your device is connected to ADB using the following command:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      adb devices<\/p>\n

        \n
      • This should list your device serial number on the Terminal\/Command Prompt, along with the words \u201cdevice\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \"How<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Next,\u00a0type the following command<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          adb tcpip 5555<\/p>\n

            \n
          • \u201c5555\u201d is what is known as a\u00a0port number<\/strong>. If you don\u2019t know what a port number is, you don\u2019t need to concern yourself with it. Just go with 5555. Technically, you can use any port number you like, but ensure you don\u2019t use a port number that is being used by another service as this may cause problems. Once again, do not tinker with this value if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \"How<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            • You\u2019re almost done.\u00a0Disconnect the USB connection\u00a0but don\u2019t close Terminal\/Command Prompt<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
            • In your device, head over to\u00a0Settings -> About Phone -> Status<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              \"How<\/strong><\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

                \n
              • You\u2019ll find a field titled\u00a0\u201cIP Address\u201d<\/strong>. Note this IP Address down, you\u2019ll need it to connect to your phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                \"How<\/strong><\/p>\n

                  \n
                • In the Terminal\/Command Prompt, type:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  adb connect 192.168.0.1:5555<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • Replace the IP address with the IP address of your device<\/strong>, and port number with the port number value you used in step 3. That\u2019s it. You\u2019re done. The Terminal\/Command Prompt window should display something like\u00a0\u201cconnected to 192.168.0.1:5555\u201d<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                  • If it doesn\u2019t, wait for a few seconds and try again. it works fine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Wireless ADB on Rooted Devices<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

                    If you\u2019re on a rooted device, you don\u2019t need a USB cable.\u00a0Just follow the steps given below to enable wireless ADB on your device.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. Fire up the Terminal Emulator<\/strong>on your rooted Android device and type the following command:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                        \n
                      • When prompted,\u00a0grant super user access<\/strong>to Terminal Emulator<\/li>\n
                      • Enter the following commands<\/strong>on the Terminal Emulator to enable wireless ADB:
                        \nsetprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
                        \nstop adbd
                        \nstart adbd<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                          \n
