I have to use adb over ssh. now, everything works fine but after a reboot i have to connect my device again over usb and set adb to listen to tcpip instead of usb.
is ther a way to save those settings?
This is how it works for now. After a reboot i have to use these commands again (over usb) in order to establish an adb connection over ssh.
# adb kill-server
# adb tcpip 5555
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
restarting in TCP mode port: 5555

You can set service.adb.tcp.port=5555 in /default.prop or maybe /system/build.prop. But this isn't such a great idea, since it leaves you phone open to everybody wanting to gain shell access to it over the net.
And you don't need "adb kill-server" above. It's the devices adb you are restarting, not the one on your computer.

Great thx. I'll give it a try.
Update:
Works perfectly. I modified the buil.prop. Thank you.

For tinkering purposes - well aware of the security implications here - I wanted to get adb to also listen on the mobile interface, when not connected to a wifi. Basically public debugging on the bus ride
I did not succeed though. How can adb be brought to listen on the mobile data connection?

I am in search of a similer thing.
Is it possible with port forwarding in adb ?

Yes, it is possible. But 1st you must make sure your mobile operator is not blocking your connections.
Most data only SIM cards will not block connection, but only few operators allow connection to any SIM cards ( voice + data).
If you can ping your phone IP address while it is on 3g or 4g then you should be able to connect, some operators even block pinging but still allow the ADB connection.
1. connect your phone to a pc with usb
2. make sure it is visible by typing "adb devices"
3. type "adb tcpip 5555" to set up forwarding
4. once your phone is connected to mobile data (3g or 4g) go to settings -> about phone -> status -> IP address
5. from laptop.type "adb connect ip_addres:5555"
Have you tested this method on any network?

In Croatia, on Tele2 it works on both (voice + data) and data only cards, you are able to ping them both.
On Vip-net it works only on data-only cards and your are not able to ping them.
Also, if you are working inside a company network, the company firewall might block the connection

I know it is really late to be saying this, but...
What a lot of people do when they need to open a port that is well-known, much like the SSH default port 22, is set a different port. Instead of 5555, use 7777 or something entirely different. It is much like a 4 digit passcode.

Why not using a five digit passcode like 51423? Afaik you may use any port > 4096 and < 65536. The first 4096 are privileged ports...

Who said you couldn't?
Use any port number not already in use, but any known default assignment will defeat the purpose of avoiding intrusion. The point was that you aren't limited to 5555 exclusively.
Is it possible to target device to listen to port over wifi, without first connecting via USB?
omg no. please do NOT think that using a random port changes anything about security. I assure you it does not.
Turning off USB Debugging when its not in use seems to shut down access to 5555 - wouldn't that suffice from a security perspective? (only have USB Debugging on when you want to do ADB)

hello! newbie here, can you please explain what is this "/default.prop or maybe /system/build.prop" Thank you
If I set this up in either build.prop or default.prop in a custom ROM, it works fine.
If I set this up in a stock MIUI ROM, it results in a bootloop, every single time.
I'm trying to figure out how to run adb tcpip 5555 in either post-fs or service.d for Magisk. The .sh script is given the correct execute permission and seems to run fine, but it doesn't actually set adb tcpip 5555 to enabled....
I just want to thank everyone for writing this thread way back in 2012, as we're STILL making good use of this information now, in 2022, when Android 11 (and up) has adb Wireless debugging options inside of Developer options... (no USB needed!).
(PSA) Using the new Android 12 TILE for 'Developer options' 'Wireless debugging' to establish adb connection over Wi-Fi without USB
I know it's been a while, but I find myself in need of adding this
Code:
service.adb.tcp.port=5555
line to build.prop on my unrooted Pixel 7 Pro. Here are some wild thoughts, as I am not an expert in rooting/unrooting:
With the unrooted phone, say I download the latest Pixel 7 Pro factory image and tinker with it, namely make the requisite change in build.prop, repackage the whole thing as a modified image, and then flash it onto my (unrooted) phone. Will that work? Or does the flashing process check the checksum before flashing?
Root the phone, make the requisite change in build.prop, and then un-root it back. Will this work? Or does the un-rooting process mess everything up, and destroy all the changes I made? (Mind you, I have no idea how un-rooting works, so please bear with me.)
I have looked everywhere, spent countless hours and days trying to find a PERMANENT solution for this. Only solution i could find was to use TaskManager and kill adb process. Not a permanent solution. As the same error will come back.
This is the error. Nothing causes it, just happens randomly with any device im using.
Code:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
Thanks guys. A permanent solution would be awesome. I'm tired of this..

First, the obvious: have you tried different USB cables and different USB ports on your machine? (I'll assume the answer is "yes").
Now, the more likely: get a copy of USBDeview and use it to remove all copies of your ADB USB drivers. In case you're not familiar with it, this util will list every USB driver installed on your machine and (among other things) will let you delete the ones you don't want. If you've been using your current setup for a while, you'll be appalled at the cruft that's built up. Be aware that there are separate 32 and 64-bit versions, so get the one appropriate for your system.
The ADB driver(s) may be identified as "Android ADB Interface" or any of several other names. You'll see entries for various USB Vendor and Product IDs, with at least one entry for each Android device you've connected. The one thing all of the relevant entries will have in common are the values in the columns labeled USB Class, USB Subclass, and USB Protocol. Those values are ff, 42, and 01, respectively.
Sort the list by Class to group them, then uninstall all of them. When you're done, reboot. You may want to reopen the util to confirm they're really gone. Finally, attach each device in turn and let the New Hardware Wizard walk you through reinstalling the driver (which means, of course, that you'll want to have your driver packages ready before you go deleting anything).
Note: there's really only one driver (i.e. binary) for all devices. The difference in the packages is their .INF files, each of which usually only identifies Vendor and Product IDs for a single manufacturer. If you know those values for each device, you can edit the .INF file for one and add all your devices to make a one-size-fits all package (be sure to add each entry under both the 32-bit and 64-bit headings in the file). You'll still have to reinstall for each device but you won't need multiple packages to do it.

Oh. I see you don't understand the commands. You said that you had to continue to go to the Task Manager to kill the process and then you would restart it. That's what those commands do, without taking that step. I've solved this issue before with doing that, though it's never been an ongoing thing, so haven't had to deal with making it permanent. Guess we have a different idea of what wrong is...

What I'm saying is, running adb kill server wouldn't do anything because it can't connect to the adb server daemon due to that error I was receiving. After running adb kill server then running adb start server I would still get that same exact error. Which makes sense because it can't connect to the server so therefore is unable to kill it making task manager the only way of killing the server.

What I'm saying is that command is specifically for that issue, because the adb server is not starting correctly because it's kind of stuck. If the server wasn't on at all, it wouldn't be listed in the Task Manager, right? I've had this issue multiple times before on various devices, and that's what got it to come back on and connect again. I literally do this stuff for a living and have modded 100s of devices. Weird things pop up like this all the time and it's not always the same solution for everyone or every device.
start-server Checks whether the adb server process is running and starts it, if not.
kill-server Terminates the adb server process (which the Task Manager also does, but this is the command for it)
So yea, my solution didn't work for you, but it is a solution for this issue. Been there. Done that. Probably will have to do it again some day.

I understand that this solution may work for a temporary issue. I myself us it all the time when I can't see a device or something. But what im trying to say is the error says "server didn't ACK" in my searching of this error, ACK means acknowledge. Therefore communication with the server fails. So sending the server a kill command fails as well. See what i mean?
Lets just hope the other guys method works. Was surprised to see about 12 or so ADB devices when i only have 3
I have a brand new windows 7 computer, I have installed the latest android SDK, I want to connect to my Nexus 10 using adb.
(device has windows drivers from SDK; "Android Composite ADB Interface". adb version 1.0.31)
when I do adb devices, it does see my device but it says my device is unauthorised.
It has never displayed the security popup.
I am convinec that the security pop up wouyld make this work, but i cannot get it to show, so that it does whatever magic it does.
I have tried plugging and unplugging the usb cable,
I have tried turning USB debugging on and off.
I have changed the USB connection from Camera, to Media, back to Camera.
I can see the adbkey file under $HOME/.android in windows
The android directory /data/misc/adb/ is empty
I have root.
How can I force the security popup to display?
Or how can I frig this so I can get it working?
What does the secuirty popup do anyway? probably just copy the adbkey file from windows into the android /misc/adb/ directory right? Can I do it by hand?
Slightly unrelated question, is it true that everything works first time, everytime on IOS?

While it is plugged in, revoke the permissions in Developer Options. Should be right under the USB Debugging option. Then unplug and plug it back in. Should pop up on the phone after that. And for the iPhone question, surely you're joking? Apple's software has bugs in it just like anything else. Check out the massive waves of complaints on any iPhone related forum any time there is a new update as an example.
I did that, but there was no popup. !!??!!

Hmm. I've had that happen on quite a few different phones at my shop and that always did the trick. *shrug* There's always the factory reset option.
--Edit--
This is finally solved. There was a problem with my computer's ADB RSA key, so I simply had to delete the key file and rerun ADB and I Received the RSA Key Fingerprint window instantly on my G3.
For the full description of the problem look here:
I'm having issues trying to root my phone. I'm using the ioroot method mentioned here.
I get to "* daemon started successfully *" then nothing. After a lot of troubleshooting I know it's because my phone won't allow access by my computer. I never receive the RSA Fingerprint window allowing my computer access to my phone. Here's what all I've tried:
-Put phone into Internet>Ethernet mode (and I've also tried Internet>Modem, MTP and Camera modes as well just to say I did).
-Enable Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.
-Installed the drivers linked in the ioroot page (I've also downloaded the drivers directly from LG - believe it or not ... it's the same file).
-Installed the Verizon Software Assistant from the phone after connecting to the computer.
-Updated my ADB version with the SDK Manager.
-Used different USB ports on my computer as well as two different USB cables (one of which came with the G3).
-Checked Device Manager, all is as it should be and no unrecognized devices.
When I ran the adb server without the ioroot batch file, typing "adb devices" would return my phone's serial followed by "offline." It did this until I updated ADB; then when typing "adb devices" it would return the serial followed by "unauthorized." I've tried all various methods and combinations of switching adb debugging on and off, switching developer options on and off, installing and uninstalling and reinstalling the LG drivers, unplugging and replugging the USB cable, power-cycling all devices including myself at night, doing these methods with long pauses in between (10 minutes to ensure I wasn't being impatient), scratching my head, drinking more coffee, switching to rum and swearing at all devices but nothing seems to make a difference.
What am I missing?
I've got the Verizon LG G3 in White (LG-VS985W)
Software version VS98510B
Windows laptop running Vista 32 bit (I know I know, "eeew Vista")
I was able to obtain root using a different computer, here's what I tried with my laptop after gaining root to get it and my G3 on speaking terms:
-Deleted the ADB_Keys file on the G3 (/data/misc/adb/adb_key): no change.
-Compared running Windows services between Vista and 8.1 and started services which were running on 8.1 but not vista: no change.
Here was the resolution:
There turned out to be a problem with my laptop's ADB RSA key. I'm assuming my G3 was rejecting a bad key and disallowing my laptop to connect to it via ADB.
ADB saves a key file in one of multiple places on a Windows computer, the first is in the location where adb.exe is (C:\android), the second is in the user's profile (C:\Users\*username*\.android), the third place is in the Windows system files (C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\.android), the file is simply named "adbkey" with no extension. If there is no key file when ADB runs, it will generate one automatically.
Mine was located in my user folder (C:\Users\*username*\.android\). All I had to do was delete the adbkey file (there was also a file named "adbkey.pub" which I deleted as well), restart the adb server in command prompt (adb start-server) and plug my phone in. I instantly received the RSA Fingerprint Key window on my G3 allowing connection between the two devices. Then typing "adb devices" returned my phone's serial number followed by "device" showing it was available. I went back to the C:\Users\*username*\.android\ folder and sure enought there were new "adbkey" and "adbkey.pub" files.
Problem finally fixed!
Here are some VERY useful links which helped me come to this fix:
How ADB enables a secure connection
Reconstructing ADB's RSA key file
Try using this set of Vertizon g3 drivers: https://mega.co.nz/#!58YHAZaQ!yNlgZG1m7toHBZp_0HF1jSQ66gMoZmmiDrNq9W5aJIc
Open the .zip, run the .msi file on Windows.
I do not run the G3's auto-install software when I plug it into the PC.
I do set the G3 to "PTP" USB before initially connecting to the PC.
The adb file in the ioroot "bts" subfolder should be okay to run on Windows.
When the phone is attached to the PC, change its USB connection type to Internet, with submenu type Ethernet. At least on my phone, right when I change the phone connection to Internet/Ethernet is when I get the phone popup to accept the PC's RSA fingerprint.
If I then run "adb devices" on my PC, I'll see the random ID followed by "attached", which means I have a good connection. If this doesn't happen, unplug, then replug, the USB connection at the PC side.
Then I can "cd .." and run ioroot.bat.
Good luck!

... no dice.
Ok, I'm switching to my Windows 8.1 machine (my laptop is my server and android-dirty-work machine).
So it worked without hesitation on my 8.1 machine. I used the drivers listed in the ioroot thread (same as the drivers from LG) and the process went off without a hitch. I have no idea why my Vista machine and G3 don't get along but I'll need to figure it out when I do further adb work because I use my laptop for that.
Thank you markfm for the extra drivers.
I'll call this solved for now but if I find out further reasons why it didn't work I'll post it here for others who have similar struggles.
Ok I finally solved this. It turned out there was something wrong with my laptop's ADB RSA key. All I had to do was delete the key file, run the ADB Server and connect the phone. ADB will automatically generate an RSA key if none exists. The RSA key was located in C:\Users\*username*\.android and was simply named "adbkey" with no extension. There was also a file named adbkey.pub (Microsoft Publisher) which I'm assuming is a viewable version of the key. I deleted both of these, re-ran the ADB server and voila I instantly received the RSA Key Fingerprint confirmation window on my G3.
Done and done!
unable to generate RSA key on my MCB
I've read and re-read all the entries addressing this issue. I have a black G3 and am using a 2013 Mac Book Pro. I've followed the instructions to the letter many times but with no success. I'm at a loss. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You'll have to bear with me because I'm not familiar with Mac file structure.
I would start from scratch. Do all these before trying to run adb again.
On your computer:
-Delete adbkey & adbkey.pub from the .android folder (I'm not sure where that is on a Mac, Home\.android?).
-I'm not sure if Macs have a device manager, but check that your phone is correctly recognized and the drivers are installed properly.
On your phone:
-Ensure you've got developer features unlocked
-Double check that you've got usb debugging enabled.
-Tap the "Revoke USB Debugging Authorizations" button below USB debugging in developer options.
-When you're plugged in be sure to set your connection to Internet >>Ethernet (you'll see the debugging icon in the notification bar if it's connected right).
I know a lot of that is basic and redundant but if it's all done correctly then it should work. If it doesn't work it gives us a good starting point to troubleshoot.
If you want to test it open terminal, change directory to the bts folder in the ioroot folder and start adb (adb start-server), with everything done right you should get the rsa window on your phone right now. Type "adb devices" and see what comes back.
Thanks for the assistance. I never could get anywhere with my MBP so I used Windows. I downloaded the drivers and got the RSA key after revoking all prior authorizations. However, but my computer still won't see my G3 in internet/usb debugging mode. It reads it in MTP, PTP and USB charge mode. But that's it. I've rooted numerous phones before, mostly Samsung, but this one has me stumped. Any ideas?

Use whatever mode will enable USB Debugging. If Internet>>Ethernet doesn't work then use any other mode that will. It's not necessarily important what mode your phone is in, but what mode will allow USB Debugging. If you have it in MTP, PTP, Camera or any other, and you have the USB Debugging icon in the notification bar, try the "adb devices" command and if it returns "*serial* device" then you should be good to go to root.
Once your phone has enabled USB Debugging and accepted the RSA key from your computer then the connection is made and your phone will accept the ioroot commands.

Thanks for the assistance. I never could get anywhere with my MBP so I used Windows. I downloaded the drivers and got the RSA key after revoking all prior authorizations. However, but my computer still won't see my G3 in internet/usb debugging mode. It reads it in MTP, PTP and USB charge mode. But that's it. I've rooted numerous phones before, mostly Samsung, but this one has me stumped. Any ideas?

Is your phone a Verizon Model (VS985)? I'm assuming not because I don't have PTP mode on my G3. If it's not Verizon, the ioroot method suggests using PTP mode.
Yes it is a Verizon VS985. I bought it last week. I have four options, charge, MTP, internet and PTP when I connect my phone to the PC. I get usb debugging under either ethernet or modem. Device Manegr sees my phone and I get the RSA key. I never get a terminal which let's me know something isn't right. This is truly weird but I won't give up. I'll start over and see what happens. Again, thanks for your patience.

No problem at all, happy to help! It sounds like you have everything set up properly, however the terminal doesn't open automatically (you need to do it manually). But you shouldn't need to open the terminal to get ioroot to work, after you've unzipped the ioroot.zip file, simply navigate to the ioroot folder, right-click on ioroot.bat and choose Run as Administrator. That should run through the entire process for you.
If you want to test your adb connection (testing not required for ioroot to work) you'll need to open the command prompt manually. Press Windows Key+R, in the run window, type cmd and press enter, this will open the command prompt. When you're in the command prompt, you'll need to change directory to the location of adb.exe in the bts folder inside the ioroot folder. Mine was in a folder named android on my C drive so the address looked something like this: C:\android\ioroot\bts the command you'll type in command prompt would be: cd C:\android\ioroot\bts then press enter. Then you can type adb devices and see if you're connected properly.
Okay. Here's where we are. I did everything you suggested. I got the RSA key and the G3 went into recovery mode. I toggeld down to the appropriate command and hit the power button. The little green guy fell over with the dreaded red triange and I got the message "This version of ioroot does not support your device/firmware combo. Please downgrade to previously supported software version. My G3 is running VS98510B. I can't post in the devlopment section but wonder if a software update prevents root the the version being used. Just a question but at least I know I'm not going crazy.

You sir are a genious. After changing my USB cord, I'm rooted and all is well in the world. It's always the little things that matter
My Pleasure! It's the little things that matter and the little things that kill!! I'm glad you're finally victorious!:laugh:
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it to work through Internet>Ethernet.

Hi, hope this thread is somewhat still alive. sorry for the late add on... please help.
Sorry I'm a complete moron when it comes to rooting and ADB / RSA stuff and have no idea what exactly i am doing but for some reason my macbook won't allow me to authorize my oneplus. the authorize computer dialog box never pops up however i get a notification when my phone is plugged in that debugging is active. developer options have been reset, multiple usb cables have been used, and authorization has been revoked multiple times as well.
Im not sure how to access my adb settings on mac and when i attempt to go into terminal and try kill-server / start-server commands i get error messages as commands are not recognized.
Any help is appreciated as i can no longer use stock rom on OPO and i can't go about rooting my device
Wrong forum area -- this is for the Verizon LG G3 smartphone.
Same here! WITH NEXUS 7
Tried all the methods and spent almost 20hrs experimenting to retrieve rsa fingerprint, but in vain
Can you please suggest any remedy?
I cant install any os and unfortunately, my status bar and softkeys disappeared after using softkeyz apk...Dont tell to delete dalvaik data and cache[ it didnt work]
Please...

It is also possible to overcome the situation, by installing Mobilego software on your PC and follow the instructions accordingly (connecting your android using usb & debugging etc,.). You will get a RSA fingerprint request.. Easy Once it's done, u can close the mobilego software in the PC and open someother software for example Bacon root toolkit for oneplus one etc etc.. Hope this helps
adbkey doesn't exist
I don't know what i did wrong before, but my computer just DOES NOT have adbkey and adbkey.pub anywhere! First, i thought it was my phone's fault. Then, i tested in a different pc, and it worked. How do i generate those keys? There are no helpful answers in the internet yet...
Hi I can't connect to the Wlan Network at our university, which is using wpa2 enterprise.
When I click on the network nothing happens. On askubuntu I found something, but I don't know in which file on my phone I have to put the text in.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/586300/creating-a-wpa2-enterprise-connection-on-ubuntu-touch
Yes, WPA2 Enterprise isn't supported by the GUI yet.
The file you need to save that to needs to be called
Code:
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<your network's id>
Replace <your network's id> (including the brackets) with the ID of your Wifi network. In the example it would be "eduroam".
(Please note that you need to save the file as root, i.e. using sudo.)
I tried it yesterday with the file, but it didn't worked. But I am not sure if the file is correct for our network.
I followed this guide http://www.danbishop.org/2015/02/21...ther-802-1x-wireless-network-to-ubuntu-phone/ and now I get a connection. Only username and password have to be changed.

Sorry if this is a semi-hijack, but this seems the most relevant place for my question. I can't get access to my uni's wi-fi either (aquaris ubuntu edition phone), and I was wondering if anyone knows if the functionality for wpa2 is going to be added in the near future? I don't have ubuntu on a desktop atm and I don't want to have to install it just to tinker with my phone, which also seems a little bit daunting to me, worried I will explode my phone or something.
I don't know when they bring wpa2 enterprise support via gui, but I think it is a must have feature. You don't need ubuntu to get it working. I can upload the file I used, you just have to change 2 lines. You can use putty to put the file in the right location.

That'd be great, although I've no idea what I'm doing with this sort of thing, would it be possible for you to explain it to me in idiot terms? I'm not familiar with putty or this kind of exercise
1. Activate Developer Mode on your phone
You can activated the Mode under Device info, developer mode
(But you have to set a password for your phone before, if I am not mistaken)
2. Connect your Phone via usb to your computer
3. Download adb for windows: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
The installer asks some questions, I answered all questions with yes.
4. I attached a File. Just change username and password.
Then remove the file extension (remove the .txt)
You have to activate show file extensions in the windows explorer, to remove the file extension
5. Move the File on your phone e.g. in the download directory via usb
6. Run the windows command line tool (I use Super+R and then just run "cmd")
7. Run "adb shell" in the cmd
(When it says: "error: closed", you have to unlock your phone)
It should say something like "[email protected]" now.
8. Move the file from the Download-Folder to the Network-Manager-Folder:
"sudo cp Downloads/eduroam /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/"
Password should be your phone unlock password
9. Now go into the Networkmanager directory:
cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
10. Run the following commands to set the right permissions for the file:
"sudo chown root eduroam"
"sudo chgrp root eduroam"
"sudo chmod 600 eduroam"
11. Reboot your Phone
For me this worked. My English is not that good, so just ask, if you have questions.

So far I can't get the adb shell to recognise the phone is there, it just keeps saying "error: device not found" so I'm kinda stumped right now
I got this error the first time, too. I just reinstalled adb, while the phone was plugged to my computer and unlocked and answered the driver question with yes, then some driver were installed.

Tried it on my friend's linux pc as well and it still says error device not found, guess I'm just going to have to wait for them to officially add in wpa2 functionality. Welp, back to my old phone for a while then, thanks for the help jonny-boy
@garatola Do you have the phone unlocked and the screen turned on when trying to connect? That's one requirement on Ubuntu.

Yup, I managed to find out about that before I first started trying to figure out how to fix this unfortunate situation
Does anyone know if or when there will be wpa2 functionality on this os? Or where I might ask? I need it for accessing my uni wifi stuff, and if it's going to be a while, I'll just shelf the phone and forget about it as a phone without internet access is pretty much just a paperweight for me. Thanks again for the help given so far everyone

According to the corresponding launchpad issue, a fix has just been made available. However, it will probably take a month until it is in the stable builds.
If adb still doesn't work for you and the issue is that important to you, you can always also try following the guide using the terminal app on the device itself. Will take some time to type the commands in but it should work.

I don't have access to a linux pc, and for some reason ubuntu wouldn't install for a dual boot when I tried that either. I also didn't see an app that would let me use the terminal on my phone - I've not had much luck with this lol. However, for some reason the adb stuff randomly started working on my friends linux pc and he friend managed to fix something up for me today, so all is well, for now at least :s (I also noticed the terminal app on the ubuntu store once I finally did get the net working.)
In the end, my friend used this http://www.danbishop.org/2015/02/21...ther-802-1x-wireless-network-to-ubuntu-phone/ to get it working, although the first time he tried adb wouldn't recognise my phone, and we don't know how it was righted, so sorry I can't pass on more info to people who might have the same problem =/
Thanks for all the replies again
