ADB : unable to connect to 192.168.1.10:5555

Question

I had the same issue since the android 6 upgrading. I noticed that for some reason the device is playing "hard to get" when you try to contact it over WIFI.

Try these following steps:

1. Make sure that Aggressive Wi-Fi to Cellular handover under Networking section in the device's developer options is turned off.

2. ping continuously from your pc to the device to make sure it's not in network idle mode ping -t 192.168.1.10 (windows cmd), unlock the device and even try to surf to some website just to make it get out of the network idle.

3. If ping doesn't work, turn off / on Android Wifi and go back to step 2.

4. When it replies to the ping, connect it via usb, and:

   adb usb

   adb tcpip 5555

   adb connect 192.168.10.1:5555

5. In case it's still not connected, try to switch the USB connection mode as MTP / PTP / Camera while the device is connected through USB and repeat these steps over again...

If the above points are not working please try running ADB as admin. For Ubuntu -

`sudo adb start-server`

I had the same issue. i tried all commands like adb kill-server then adb tcpip 5555 then adb connect <IPAddress>:5555 but the issue remain same

the IP address which i used to connect ... showing me message unable to connect .....

what i did is go to phone's settings

then About phone

then Status`

then check IP address

Now try to connect phone with that IP address

Note : - The problem is the IP address changed which i used to connect

I had the same problem. The solution was as follows.

In Developer Options. + Activate "Allow ADB debugging in load only mode." + In Spanish, "Permitir depuración ADB en modo solo carga."

Explanation My problem was as follows: I was doing all the steps:

• adb kill-server
• adb start-server
• adb tcpip 5555
• adb connect (your ip).

After completing these steps, I disconnected the phone from the USB cable, and the connection was lost, I could not make the wireless connection.

However, this worked for me on a Huawei ALE-23 cell phone, but it did not work for me on the Huawei Y9S cell phone (Android 10), it failed.

I solved it only by activating the option "Allow ADB debugging in load only mode" in the cell Huawei Y9S.

Cheers!!!.

Make sure you are not connected to a VPN. I was able to connect to adb as soon as I disconnected from the VPN. For a sure way to connect do this:

1. Unplug USB
2. Restart Android device
3. Shutdown Android Studio or any other IDE using ADB
4. adb kill-server
5. Plug back in USB after restart
6. adb devices This automatically starts the server. You sould see the device plugged in via USB
7. adb shell ip addr show wlan0 to get your devices IP address
8. adb tcpip 5555 Set the port to 5555 that you want to connect through
9. adb connect 192.168.0.6:5555 Replace IP address with one from step 6.
10. Disconnect the USB

I used the same approach as @IVAN MANJARREZ ADB : unable to connect to 192.168.1.10:5555

The only difference was I used Huawei - p20 pro. Where for p20 - pro, you have to search for and activate "Allow ADB debugging in charge only mode"

To connect your phone to adb you can use the given steps... To download ADB manually go to given link... https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

• Unplug USB
• Restart Android device
• Shutdown Android Studio or any other IDE using ADB
• adb kill-server
• Plug back in USB after the restart
• adb devices This automatically starts the server. You sould see the device plugged in via USB
• adb shell ip addr show wlan0 to get your devices IP address
• adb tcpip 5555 Set the port to 5555 that you want to connect through
• adb connect 192.168.0.6:5555 Replace IP address with one from step 6.
• Disconnect the USB

I have tried everything but still, nothing worked for me. Then randomly, I used the following command:

$ adb tcpip 5555

error: no devices/emulators found

$ adb connect 192.168.0.104:5555

failed to connect to 192.168.0.104:5555

$ adb connect 192.168.0.104:5555

already connected to 192.168.0.104:5555

It was connected at this point but my device was offline. I was always able to connect at the second attempt but my device was always offline. At this point, I connected my device to my PC with USB.

$ adb tcpip 5555

error: more than one device/emulator

$ adb disconnect

disconnected everything

$ adb tcpip 5555

restarting in TCP mode port: 5555

$ adb connect 192.168.0.104:5555

connected to 192.168.0.104:5555

I disconnected my USB and voila! my device was still connected. I am sorry but I can't explain why it worked. I was randomly trying different things on internet. I had used the same commands several times but in different orders but they didn't work. I hope it will help someone.
