title: Android adb wireless/WIFI debug Operation timed out
body: <p>I followed steps in this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4893953/android-run-install-debug-applications-over-wifi">post</a> and tried to connect to my Motorola X Gen 2 for Wifi debugging, on OS X El Cap.</p>
  
  <p>I connected my phone to the laptop with usb cable,
  I killed and started server, the server was started successfully, and then in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>./adb devices
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I got</p>
  
  <pre><code>List of devices attached
  TA44909GA0  device
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I did</p>
  
  <pre><code>./adb tcpip 5555
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>./adb connect &lt;IP addr of my phone&gt;:5555
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>both with usb cable connected and disconnected, none of them worked. Both returned error message saying:</p>
  
  <pre><code>unable to connect to ***.***.***.***:5555: Operation timed out
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I cannot figure out what is happening here, I tried the Android Studio plugin ADB WIFI, which returned the same message, operation timed out. I restarted everything, tried connecting with a different cable and all, nothing worked.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know what's happening here?</p>
