Android 11 - Wireless ADB Pairing - Windows machine

Question

On Pixel 2 I have android 11 beta version running. The wireless adb pairing works fine from a Ubuntu machine to my phone but it fails from a Windows machine with following message

error: unknown host service

General steps:

• Dev Options > Wireless debugging (Enabled)
• [Accept on a prompt to trust current WiFi]
• Tap: Pair device with paring code
• From computer (i.e. Windows OS), using adb from 'Platform-tools' run adb pair 192.168.1.45:40404 [IP address and port is visible in your phone in the dialog after tapping Pair device with paring code.] [Tried: .\adb pair ip:port, adb.exe pair ip:port same error]
• [When successfully connected, the dialog box disappears on it's own (saw this behavior from Linux/Ubuntu however from windows I am not having any luck]

Platform tools Downloads

Windows | Mac | Linux

Connect to phone

• [Once the device is paired]
• adb connect ip:port
  • [NOT the ip:port visible in the dialog that comes on Pair device]
  • the ip:port that is visible in the main page of Wireless debugging

Question

How can I resolve the wireless adb paring from Windows OS?

Answer 1

Kill the server and try to pair. It works for me

1. Kill server

./adb kill-server

2. pair devices

./adb pair ipaddr:port

This would work
