Thanks for your help!

Will I need to uninstall whatever drivers were installed by the wrong adb bundle?
[General Questions and Answers] russ6100:
Does adb only need tcp port 5037?

While reading the adb help, I noticed it makes references to mdns. I hope it doesn't require tcp/udp 5353 because a few DAW plugin vendors use that to constantly check plugin licensing.
[General Questions and Answers] russ6100:
Went looking for those drivers...

Found lots of sketchy site offering those drivers.

Went to Samsung directly. Here's what they recommend:

Generally, when you connect a phone or tablet to a computer, the PC will recognize that a device was connected and install any drivers needed. Just make sure to connect the phone or tablet directly to the PC. This connection method works like connecting a USB keyboard or mouse to the PC. If you have an older PC, regardless of manufacture, update the software and drivers for the PC using https://support.microsoft[dot]com/en-us/windows/windows-update-faq-8a903416-6f45-0718-f5c7-375e92dddeb2 before connecting any external device.

Oh well...
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
While port 5037 is commonly associated with ADB, it's not the only port it uses:

Default port: By default, ADB communicates with the Android device on port 5555. This port is used for USB connections and is also the most commonly used option.

TCP port: When using ADB in TCP/IP mode for wireless connections, it typically uses port 5037. However, this port can be dynamically assigned by the device in some cases.

To force ADB to use a different port than 5037 on Windows 11 you can alter the related Environment Variable:

Search for "Environment Variables" in the Windows search bar and open "Edit the system environment variables".

Click on "Environment Variables" button.

Under "System variables", click "New".

In the "Variable name" field, type: ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_PORT

In the "Variable value" field, type your desired port number (e.g., 6789). Ensure the port is not already in use by other applications.

Click "OK" on both windows to save the changes.

Thanks for the info!

After much testing and very little sleep (Ha!), I have a much better understanding of the machinations of adb.

IMHO, adb could stand a re-write - at least something should be done about the misleading error messages.

E.g. '* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037'

A reasonable human would interpret that to mean, "The daemon isn't running, so let's start it now at tcp port 5037"

This is wrong, which I wouldn't find out til after reading adb's wikipedia page, of all things.

So - I did some testing with netstat, procexp64 and adb client console. (See attached image)

Once adb is invoked, 2 instances of adb.exe are observed in procexp64, one of which is making all the connections. Server is listening on 5037 with no conflicts. A couple of other high port # connections and 3 connections to tcp 5354 - these 3 could be problematic, as I have a Bonjour mdns service listening on that port (plugin licensing solution).

View attachment 6077417

After killing the Bonjour service, I tried once again but got the same error message as always:

C:\platform-tools_r35.0.0-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
List of devices attached
error: protocol fault (couldn't read status): Connection reset by peer

'Connection reset by peer' Which connection? (there are many) Which peer? (maybe 2?)

I have yet to see evidence of the daemon ever starting - no remote connection to the phone. It's also notable that immediately after the error message, both adb.exe instances exit.

I also tried wi-fi debugging but was unable to find a way to generate a pairing key - all the instructions I saw involved Android Studio, which I don't have.

Of course, any testing is handicapped by the fact that the phone itself has been rendered a black box by Samsung. When I was rocking an S10, at least I could get some insight via a terminal emulator.

I'm also still uncertain how TCP runs over USB. If it runs on top of IP as per usual, then there's an IP address on the phone's end. Without wi-fi or 5G enabled?

I'm going to run an nmap scan on the phone but don't expect much.

At least nobody can accuse me of being lazy!
[General Questions and Answers] russ6100:
Figured out how to pair the phone for wireless debugging - still no joy!

Switched from randomized MAC to phone MAC - surely this is the issue!

Nope.

Not giving up...
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
1. Make sure you're using the latest ADB version by downloading it from Samsung as already recommended by me above.

2. Enable ADB over TCP: Open a command prompt or terminal window on your computer.

Type the following command and press Enter, replacing <port number> with the desired port number ADB will use for communication (e.g., 5555):

adb tcpip <port number>

3. Connect Using TCP: After enabling TCP and (optionally) disconnecting USB, you can connect to your device using the following command:

adb connect <your_device_IP_address>:<port_number>
[General Questions and Answers] russ6100:
Thanks again for all your help!

I did what you recommended a few days ago and found Samsungs oficial documentation on the S21 FE 5G here:

https://www.samsung.com/us/business/support/owners/product/galaxy-s21-fe-5g-us-cellular/

At the bottom of the page you'll see a Download section where I found this:

Device(Install),USB Driver ver. 1.5.65.0 Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 /

I did the install via their supplied .exe

This package did not come with adb.exe . Are you saying that Samsung has their very own Samsung branded version of adb.exe? I asked you this in post #3.

So, in the meantime, I'll try to force TCP on a specific port as you recommend.

Again, thanks for your help & patience!

With regards to Samsung Android USB Driver for Windows​

You need the driver only if you are developing on Windows and want to connect a Samsung Android device to your development environment over USB.
[General Questions and Answers] russ6100:
After a restart of the device and PC, I see a process called "ss_conn_service.exe" running. Details:

MSS CS Connectivity Service
DEVGURU Co., LTD.
Version: 2.5.11.0
Build Time: Sun Jan 15 22:03:51 2017

This is what Samsung is currently providing for their customers. 2017 seems a bit not-so-current, given that the phone debuted in 2021.

With this service currently running, the only change in behavior is that in USB Debugging mode, it won't even spin up the daemon at all. With whatever drivers I had before, it would temporarily spin up and then die.

The behavior with Wireless Debugging remains the same - temporary daemon spin up, pairing with key attemtps fail.

That screenshot you provided in post #4 - would you be willing to tell me where you got that?

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
As shown in the image you provided

https://xdaforums.com/attachments/adb-trouble-jpg.6076381/

connecting to device through TCP miserably fails. Question is: Have you ever enabled TCP/IP debugging ?

I ask this because by default, TCP/IP debugging might be disabled on your Samsung phone.

Here is how to enable it in the developer settings:

EDIT:

Troubleshooting Steps:

Verify TCP/IP Debugging: Double-check that TCP/IP debugging is enabled in your phone's developer settings.

Check Port: Note the displayed TCP/IP port number on your phone and ensure your computer can access it (firewall, port forwarding).

Restart Services: Sometimes, restarting your phone and ADB server on your computer can resolve connection issues.

Update ADB: Using an outdated version of ADB can lead to compatibility issues. Update ADB on your computer.

Is it necessary to remove the older driver before installation of the newer one?

Hi, I'm planning to Downgrade one ui 6.0 to one ui 5 on my s23 ultra(csc: iraq). But I don't understand which one to flash(A13).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Any firmware for same device variant but condition is 9th letter should be matching in both (One you have installed and one you're going to flash) For example if current installed version is S918BXXS3BXB2 then you have to install any A13 that have 9th letter 3
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jeffeee3:
BEWARE, YOUR DATA WILL BE WIPED WHENEVER YOU DOWNGRADE YOUR SOFTWARE TO AN OLDER VERSION

Please make sure you do a complete data backup before proceeding!

Like Dr.ketan said any firmware on SW Rev./Bit/Bootloader version 3: (9th digit in/5th from the end) like S918BXXS3AWIF you can install on your phone.

I prefer samfw.com for firmware downloads because of its reliability and speed. Just a user preference at the end of the day.

Double check your carrier code by Opening Settings on your S23 Ultra, scroll to the bottom, About Phone>Software Information, then find Service provider software version.

The 5 sets of 3 letters (example: MID/MID/THL/THL/EUX) will show what carrier service codes the phone has, the first 2 sets are the active CSC on Sim1 (MID) , the next set(s) are for SIM2 CSC (THL) and the last set tells what carrier/region the phone was manufactured for. (EUX)

Check @Macusercom's excellent guide for more information. You can also use samfwtool to change your CSC if desired.

It looks the CSC for Iraq is MID. Here's the direct link for your S918B:

https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-S918B/MID

Use the following for Android 13.

Newest version with 2023-10-01 security patch https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-S918B/MID/S918BXXS3AWIF

Oldest version with 2023-07-01 security patch https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-S918B/MID/S918BXXS3AWF7

You can get Odin from samfw.com for flashing. Make sure you have the newest Samsung USB drivers installed. When ready, extract the firmware files from the ZIP file and put them in the appropriate slots in Odin. (BL, AP, CP, CSC)

Power off your phone and hold both vol+ and vol- keys while you connect the USB cable. You should see a prompt to press vol+ to continue to download mode. Choose the CSC not HOME_CSC file in Odin's CSC slot. The HOME_CSC is what you'd use to keep userdata if you were upgrading to a newer version of android.

After downgrading, I would suggest enabling USB Debugging and using ADB app control to disable/uninstall your system update apps so you don't get bothered or forced to update to Android 14 again.

Hope this helps!
[Android Head-Units] yahyoh:
Hey Guys, Hope you all doing well, i got USB TPMS from Aliexpress with internal sensors, and installed the sensors on wheels. and used the apps included in the usb memory included, but here's the issue: there are around 4 apps on the usb memory

One app is probably newer i think called TPMS 1.7 and one of them is TPMS 1.5 and theres another app with different interface.

Where each app shows different reading:

the V 1.5 and the other one with different interface shows almost the same reading but the V 1.7 shows almost 2-3-PSI lower.

also V1.5 keeps showing "tpms device error" from time to time.

anyone faced the same issues? is there any good app to use instead of the once included?

When I try to share photos from my Google photos app to another app (like messenger), there are always five suggested contacts at the top.

This could be cool, except it keeps suggesting my manager at work (whom I NEVER want to share personal photos with, and live in constant fear of tapping accidentally) https://19216801.onl/ https://routerlogin.uno/ .

I've noticed each contact has an option to pin or unpin them from the list, but there's no way to pin other contacts who aren't already the lucky five suggested contacts.

How can I start pinning some people I would actually want to send photos to, and get my manager off that damn list for good?

Thanks!

Hi there,

I've got a Nokia T21 tablet, it's a low end tablet with cellular support, it has stylus support but there's a problem on my unit. The stylus detection messed up, the stylus icon randomly pops up on the left of screen without using a stylus and halt the unit for a short while, I use rubber case without magnet so there's a h/w fault in it. I took it to service but the problem didn't get fixed, as it approaching end of warranty I decided to live with that defect and do not want to waste time on fixing that problem. I wonder if there's a way to disable the stylus to completely eliminate the problem, thanks !

Hi, I currently use an old Redmi Note 7 running on Google Experience ROM. I've fallen in love with Google's UI, mostly with the theme colors and the fonts. Has anybody made his S24 looking as close to Pixels as possible? Is there any guide? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] traman124:
I have some tips that I've used in Samsung themes before:

- Use this Hex theme (free) as well as the Hex Installer (Play Store, costs $1.99) to theme phone to look like AOSP

- Disable/remove some Samsung apps (e.g Samsung keyboard, Samsung Internet, Samsung calculator, Samsung calendar) and use their Google counterparts instead. (Don't remove Samsung Photos unless you don't care about Galaxy AI features, they require SPhotos to work)

- Download the Google Sans files and use zFont 3 (Play Store) to install/use the font systemwide

- If you like Google's Pixel Camera app, a GCam port is always an option too.

I hope I helped - this is the reason I just buy Pixels, getting a Samsung phone to work for me is too much of a pain

I can assure you we're not... I will tell you this tho. I used to work my butt off modding and releasing roms with every option imaginable... with Aroma installer allowing you to install what you like to Rom Control allowing you to customize everything

Then I made custom themes plural. I did it because I enjoyed at first but then after XDA treats you... they make money off ads and didn't seem to care at all about the ones who made the website what it was! The devs the themers and everyone else who contributed. And they refused to allow us to charge any amount even if it was only $1. That's what drove me away. Can't speak for others but I know how much time goes into doing it and you have to have no life at all and a rich wife to continue doing it and not require something for the work.
