Enabling Persistent ADB Over Wi Fi on Boot

🧼 Enabling Persistent ADB Over Wi-Fi on Boot (Magisk Rooted Devices)

For Android 10+ devices using system-as-root, modifying /system directly is discouraged. Instead, use Magisk's service.d directory to run a custom script at every boot.

✅ Prerequisites

  • Your phone must be rooted with Magisk.
  • ADB must already be functional via USB initially.
  • You must know your device's local IP (e.g., 192.168.1.42).

🛠️ Steps

1. Open a root shell via ADB or a terminal emulator:

su

2. Create the Magisk service boot script:

mkdir -p /data/adb/service.d
echo -e '#!/system/bin/sh\nsetprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555\nstop adbd\nstart adbd' > /data/adb/service.d/adb_wifi.sh
chmod +x /data/adb/service.d/adb_wifi.sh

3. Reboot the device:

reboot

🔍 After Reboot

From your computer:

adb connect <your_phone_ip>:5555

Replace <your_phone_ip> with your actual IP (e.g., 192.168.1.42).

💡 Notes

  • This enables ADB over Wi-Fi automatically after every reboot.

  • You can verify it's working by running:

adb devices

and checking for the IP-based device entry.

  • To stop ADB over Wi-Fi (optional):
setprop service.adb.tcp.port -1
stop adbd
start adbd
