adb pair XXX.XXX...: error: protocol fault (couldn't read status message): Success

I can't seem to get adb to work: I've tried
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb kill-server
adb start-server
And
pkg update
pkg upgrade
pkg update
pkg upgrade
But it's still having the same issue: any ideas?

I installed adb on termux and I'm using that installation to connect to wireless debugging Basically I'm connecting my phone 'to itself'

Did you use the IP/port from "Pair device with pairing code" option in wireless debugging?

Yes, I inputted the IP/Port specified there with the pairing code afterwards I got the error I wrote on the title of this support 'ticket'

can you send screenshots of the ip address and you connecting via termux shouldn't be personal info since 192.168.xxx.xxx is reserved for local stufd

Hi there, thanks for the response. Unfortunately I didn't take any screenshots of what I did, but what I do have is a personal log I made which includes what I did on the device (including the commands I used in Termux) and the output I received. Here it is: - turned off dev optipns - Restarted - Turned on dev options - Turned on wireless debugging

Here's a recording of me doing it then i was just screwing around after adb shell though so you can ignore that bit

Strangely enough, this time (where I typed the pairing code only after being asked for it) it "Successfully paired" Yeah thanks for the video that really helped
