I am debugging an app using a phone-PC combination which has USB issues. I can successfully establish a wifi connection using 'adb tcpip 555' then 'adb connect 1.2.3.4'

However, sometimes I can't even make the first USB connection to enable the debug listener on the phone. Is it possible to put the phone adb into listening mode (on wifi) without a USB connection?

@irfan -that described how to start TCPIP listening, but still requires an initial USB connection (as described in that post) – TSG Jan 18 '21 at 21:53
Yes that's the point. The answer explains the limitations; why it's not usually possible to achieve what you are looking for. – Irfan Latif Jan 19 '21 at 01:33
