Installing Debian on the G1

This was already mentioned by alansj here, but I though it was important enough to have it's own thread
Saurik has created a Debian image you can install onto your sd card. Once installed, you have the full power of debian on your phone. No more puny little busybox
Instructions and such are here.
Thanks Saurik!

I was actually looking into this earlier... let me know how it runs

cant download a few things
can not open ext2.ko......when i type insmod $kit/ext2.ko ...i get "insmod: can't open ' /sdcard/kit/ext2.ko'...some one please help me out

What graphical interface does this install, or is there one?

That was my question when I heard about this... I just went for it though because when I read through the instructions, I realized that everything is stored in the MicroSD card and in RAM (which is reset when the phone is rebooted)
It turns out that there is no GUI - just a good old text-based Debian install! I'm sure that someone will get one working... or maybe just port the entire BSD Subsystem along with apt so we can just forget the Market...

This awesome article has answered tons of my questions and also seems to imply otherwise:
"This does not replace Android. This also gives you access to the full plethora of programs available in Debian and let's you continue using your phone as it was intended to be: as an Android device with all the capabilities thereof."​
In addition, this IRC channel is where the author of that article idles.

Right. No gui, but you have a full working linux distro on your phone. You can apt-get just about any of the normal stuff.. You could probably even get a x-windows installation to working, although you would have to connect to it remotely - it would probably be "difficult" to get it to display a gui on the phone itself (although that would be sweet).
I've installed Saurik's image on my phone, it works great. Although if you do the "unionfs.sh" step, the wifi settings don't quite work right anymore. It won't let you enable or disable wifi.
But I was able to get an ssh server (with real user and password management) and even a samba server running on my phone quite easily with this . I've also got gcc installed, and will start playing around with developing directly on the phone (instead of having to cross compile).

Sorry for not being hip to the game, but what the heck is Debian?

Arguably the most influential distribution of Linux ever. Its package management system, apt, is awesome, and it is what Ubuntu and tons of other distros were started from.
Why would you not use Google before asking here?

can anyone help with my above mentioned problem
i want this baby to run

Is your phone connected to your computer? You lose access to the storage card when it is, I think (you can't cd to it when it's plugged in) and unplugging my phone allowed me to install the module.

Installing Debian errors?
Here is what I get:
insmod $kit/ext2.ko
insmod: init_module '/sdcard/kit/ext2.ko' failed (Operation not permitted)

i've been through this, i'm not gonna explain what happens and why, but imo, the only way to get a real root is the following:
-Install telnet client to your device (from android market).
-Reboot your phone to be sure no telnet-daemons/shells are running.
-When you are on the desktop, just type "enter", "telnetd", "enter". (If you do it from the terminal app it will run under the uid of the terminal app which is not root).
-Then run the telnet client app, and connect to local host. (Or skip this step + the first one if you wanna connect from another pc)
I know it's weird, but when you run something from the terminal app it runs under the terminal app's uid, even if you run a new shell, you still are eg. "app_33", not root. and btw you will have to set the environment variables all from the same shell, that means you can't have a script cause it will run under another shell, with another uid. I'm so confused... maybe I'm wrong but android is not the most friendly environment.

Haha I feel you. Now the thing is when I am at the home screen on my G1 i push "Enter" on the keyboard and then type "telnetd" and then push enter again it doesnt do anything. When I open up telnet client on my PC it wont connect with wifi on.
So I then go to Telnet client on myG1 and go to connect to "localhost:23" and it says "Error while connecting to server: localhost/127.0.0.1:23 - Connection refused" the thing is that my local host for my wifi is not 127.0.0.1:23
And when I "netstat" from inside Terminal Emulator there is no address with port "23"

What command did you use to get the SSH to install? Every time I do the one in the tut by saurik it errors and wont install all the way. I get an error after x11-common and it wont finish.

localhost usually refers to the loopback interface which on most devices will be 127.0.0.1.

I'm getting the same thing here... I think there's something wrong with apt-get having to write to /tmp which does not exist (and is mounted read-only).

x11 via Xvfb and x11vnc

I'm trying to get a window manager running under Debian. I'm using Xvfb and x11vnc. So far I've gotten the server up and running but I get a socket error on my vnc viewer after negotiating protocol. Anyone want to help?

Well, the clean way to display a X client on the phone would be IMHO to implement an x server in a windows. kind of like xming or xephyr. Too bad I don't know java
Anyway, using vnc looks like a smart idea. I worry about the performance, though.
I'll give it a try once I have re-installed debian on my ADP1 (trying to install it in a dedicated partition on the sd)

Use X over SSH. Man I'll just write up a post.

I think he's trying to achieve X display on the phone, not on his computer.

Yes, I'm trying to get the display on the phone, not having to really on tunneling x11 over ssh.

I'm running a similar setup on my phone, in order to run X apps like xpdf. Works fine. Here's what you need:
In your debian chroot, apt-get install tightvncserver, and run it.
On the android side, run the android VNC viewer and connect to localhost:1 (or whatever display tightvncserver started). You'll get X on your screen.
You can apt-get and run a small window manager like twm if you need one. I generally use it without a window manager, with apps running in full-screen mode. For example, "xpdf -g 1024x768+0+0 some-file.pdf" to view a PDF. (at least until there's a decent PDF viewer for android).
Don't bother trying OpenOffice on it though. Too heavy - I actually tried it.

Are you telling me you got to run x app on the phone?

Yep, that's what I wrote. It was one of the first things I installed on the phone when I bought it. And performance is not as bad as I expected, as long as you don't try to run animation. Reasonable for reading a pdf.

Has anyone else tried this?
I cannot connect with android vnc viewer from my phone and tightvnc server running on debian showing "localhost:/#".
I am not using a password. I am trying to log in on vnc-viewer at 127.0.0.1 and have tried several ports including the default and 23.

Will i be abkle to run pidgin?

when i try to run vncserver it tells me that the USER envirioment variable i snot set

For the user variable error.Type su Again by itself before you start vnc. It has to do with now having set user in the enviroment set. I have an image that give you 2 gigs more of free space (uses up storage card) the current one only has 300megs free which limits you drastically and also a fixed script that you won't have to go into su again....

For the guys that can't get vnc working type localhost in the server field only and as for port use 5901... Use a password upon initial setup of vnc. Sorry about spekking errors but I'm half drunk and typing on g1

Okay I set up the password and stuff but when I go to the vnc viewer on the phone it does nto conect and the crash

When I go to vnc-viewer, I can log in but the window I get says--
Xsession:unable to start x session ---- no "/root/.xsession" ...no session managers,

Can someone please help me get this runing, my messenger is [email protected]
Okay I finally got it to run and get a grey screen, when i go t back to termina it is on android terminal not debian so I log back.
Now how to I run pidgin after I install it? just type pidgin?

I finally got pidgin runing!!!!

I warn you it will be slow and still cant use the sub functions of the buttons form the keyboard to at least I don't know how. I'm trying to take a screenshot with the program from the windows manager, and i use twm

Okay I have tried with twm, vtwm, and icewm
So far I like icewm the most but still have vtwm for back up. It runs fine not as slow as before with twm. I have pidgin runing but still cant figure out how to run the screenshot program that comes with debian.
Can anyone tell me a way to get a screenshot in command line so I can show you the screen and prove that it works?

[Ubuntu Image] 1st really working simple to install Ubuntu on your phone

This is easier than making a cup of coffee.
Pictures below as attachment couldnt figure how to put the pic here edit figured it out now im just lazy.
you dont have to do it the hard way
Everyone (edit: i thought so at the time)will want this "Fully" (note below) funtioning Ubuntu system
or you can make your own here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913622
I will be maintaning and updating as time permits
Phone has to be rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/Guides_&_Tutorials

Remove app2sd and settings- applications- manage applications- sdcard "move all apps to phone" or it will not work!
I suggest you install gnome-panel
I use it and i find no speed differance!
trying to get :upstart services" to work im looking into compiling a kernel with "CONFIG_TMPFS enabled, to initiate a workaround, because "upstart" services wont work in a chroot.

Copy the "ubuntu" folder to your sd card
Go to market download "Terminal" and android VNC Viewer
Open terminal and type: (without the quotes), "su" then "cd /sdcard/ubuntu"
then "sh ./ubuntu.sh"
then "bootubuntu"
then "vncserver :0 -geometry 1024x800"
Thats it, go to android VNC Viewer and use dad for nickname, "ffffffff" for the password, "localhost", for address, 5900 for the port, Use 24bit veiwing settings, then go.
to shutdown you will have to power off phone and power back on.
Enter in your :"Initial Command",in the settings of Android Terminal:
su
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ./ubuntu.sh
bootubuntu
So everytime you want to start ubuntu just open terminal
to start VNC SERVER automaticly you will have to add to the bottom of your /home/.bashrc file this:
cd /
rm -r -f /tmp
mkdir /tmp
vncserver :0 -geometry 1024x800
Thats it, your off ENJOY
Notes: Its as fully funtioning for myself, cant speak for everyone
This is in Beta stages I am an old Visual Basic dabbler as a hobby, and am not very fluent in the lenux operating system. However this "ubuntu on mobile device" has rekindled a lost desire to program.
I will update changes as i get the time
If anyone would like to contribute their lenux expertese to iron out the bugs, i and so many others would appreciate it
Issues to work on:
:no sound
NOTE: A big kernel level problem is the lack of sound. Most of the kernels we use as a base for our ports are designed for Google Android. Android doesn't use the standard Linux sound System ALSA. An ALSA wrapper for the EVO DSP kernel system must be written.
:Setting up users and groups (used kusers but seemed to slow system a bit, needs kde-common) But is very tolorable, I actually use dolphin. (cant get nautilus to create folders or files (destination read only? u got me)).
:hacked /root/.bashrc for easy login help (when using terminal runs .bashrc. dont know anotherway to start hamachi on login and also vncserver tries to restart)
:keyboard mapping (mapping arrow keys to the abc keyboard it has arrow keys, esc,etc...)
: No way to exit or turn off ubuntu. You have to turn off phone, to turn off ubuntu.
nce in a while the programs refuse to open, it has somthing to do with ?. you have to restart ubuntu again.
I suppose a fluent ubuntu/lenux person could help change usernames and such, using the terminal,set proper permissions and such
Im using CyanogenMod Rom its the only one that works with Hamachi
your rom will most likely work, however networking wont!
Tips:
ownload VNC for your computer and modify your ubuntu desktop on your computer screen (that way i dont need my glasses) (use "ifconfig" to find ip address)
:You can even use VNC to view the build while in qemu emulation, after installing lxde and tightvncserver in the emulation. (watch out for seg faults)
:In terminal, preferances-initial command, enter the "cd /sdcard/ubuntu ...etc ," that way its a one click to login .
:Get "abc keyboard" from market it has the esc, arrow keys etc... ( extra keys only good outside chroot, the "terminal", on your android desktop)
:If your not familiar with ubuntu, you use synaptic package manager to install programs
:When u share over himachi or start smbd, programs will stop opening.
.
Trust me everything i want it use it for seems to be pretty zippy, but just give a little xtra time for programs to load the first time. (Firefox may take 90 sec. to load the first time. After that its a snap)

I Would like to check into this
The no sound issue is getting to me, I may wait for that as that is an essential to my all in one device.
THANKS FOR THE HARD WORK. I LOVE UBUNTU

you really have to try it and tell everyone about it cant believe its not one of the hottest topics

I Would like to check into this
any way to delete this post....didn't mean to submit, came back to send like i didn't send it but ending up sending twice
apologies

Sounds pretty cool, I will defiantly have to give this a try. Question though, is this installing over top of the rom I am currently using. Example I am using the MIUI 1.22, if I install this is this like dual booting or will it just uninstall every time I reboot the phone??

Is it still uploading? I really want to try this!

How would one go about this "wep cracking thing"
please explain further

Almost* all WEP and some** WPA wireless passwords can be cracked. IMHO its easiest to do this on a Linux machine (please take note I love all OSs equally!)
*I forget how accurate this is but some WEP keys(like crazy long ones) can cause problems l in cracking, thus being protected (though not by design)
**most wpa specifications are not crackable yet and those that are often have a very stringent set of requirements (off the top of my head: most require someone to be legitimately connected to the access point and very simple passwords with low encryption.
On topic, though, this is sweet. Hope I can get something like this on my galaxy tab too!
EDIT: If you really need to know this (please only for testing... not to mooch people's internet) Google "wep cracking on backtrack"
The short simple answer is you sniff packets that the wireless access points send out and manipulate them to decrypt the key.
EDIT 2: I just realized you are also the guy who made this. Let me answer a few questions.
1) For audio you probably need to find a way to register the hardware with a Linux Audio Mixer. I'm guessing Ubuntu uses ALSA? I'd have to look that up
2) For users, kusers is part of the KDE desktop system. Ubuntu uses GNOME. People generally only use one or the other (unless they're trying to show off). That's probably why it either a) won't work or b) not work well and take up lots of extra space
3) It's Linux, not Lenux (but that's fine I can sense English isn't your first language... it's not mine either, but that's fine ^^)

the download has a "zipx" extension.
I did a little googling and it looks like that is winzips new default compression method, and the only way to open the archive is with winzip, bitzipper, pkzip, or a couple of others. none of the compression utilities I typically use (7zip on Windows, unarchiver on mac) seem to support it.
Edit: sorry if I sound unappreciative, I just think its funny to use a proprietary closed format for distribution of software that is all about open software and formats. I'm currently trying to find something that will open this on the mac without being a scummy trial, or ill just do it on a pc.

Sorry i just used the wizard and made a zip file with winzip 12.1

People talking about cracking WEP and stuff, this probably doesn't have a driver to put the wireless card to put the card in monitor mode.

AFAIK, WEP can be easily cracked. WPA or WPA2 though, will require bruteforcing, there is no way around it.

[APP][RC][Monitor Mode]Hijacker - A GUI for aircrack-ng suite and mdk3

DISCLAIMER:
It is extremely illegal to use this app against networks you don't own or don't have a permission to attack. I am not responsible for how you use it and any damage you may cause. Consider yourself warned.
Hijacker is a Graphical User Interface for the wireless auditing tools airodump-ng, aireplay-ng and mdk3. It offers a simple and easy UI to use these tools without typing commands in a console and copy&pasting MAC addresses.
This application requires an android device with a wireless adapter that supports Monitor Mode. A few android devices do, but none of them natively. This means that you will need a custom firmware. Nexus 5 and any other device that uses the BCM4339 (and BCM4358 (although injection is not yet supported so no aireplay or mdk)) chipset will work with Nexmon. Also, devices that use BCM4330 can use bcmon.
The required tools are included in the app. To install them go to Settings and click "Install Tools". This will install everything in the directory you select. If you have already installed them, you don't have to do anything. You can also have them at any directory you want and set the directories in Settings, though this might cause the wireless tools not being found. The Nexmon driver and management utility is also included.
Root is also necessary, as these tools need root to work. If you don't grant root permissions to it, it hangs... for some reason... don't know why...
Features:
View a list of access points and stations (clients) around you (even hidden ones)
View the activity of a network (by measuring beacons and data packets) and its clients
Deauthenticate all the clients of a network
Deauthenticate a specific client from the network it's connected
MDK3 Beacon Flooding
MDK3 Authentication DoS for a specific network or to everyone
Try to get a WPA handshake or gather IVs to crack a WEP network
Statistics about access points (only encryption for now)
See the manufacturer of a device (AP or station) from a OUI database (pulled from IEEE)
See the signal power of devices and filter the ones that are closer to you
Leave the app running in the background, optionally with a notification
Copy commands or MAC addresses to clipboard, so you can run them in a terminal if something goes wrong
Include the tools
Reaver WPS cracking (pixie-dust attack using NetHunter chroot)
.cap files cracking with custom wordlist
Let the user create custom commands to be ran on an access point or a client with one click.
Installation:
Make sure:
you are on Android 5+
you are rooted. SuperSU is required. If you are on CM, install SuperSU
have installed busybox (opened and installed the tools)
have a firmware to support Monitor Mode on your wireless interface
Download the latest version here.
When you run Hijacker for the first time, you will be asked whether you want to set up the tools or go to home screen. If you have installed your firmware and all the tools, you can just go to the home screen. Otherwise, click set up to install the tools. You can change the directories in which they will be installed, but I recommend that you leave them unchanged. The app will check what directories are available and select the best for you. Keep in mind that on some devices, installing files in /system might trigger an Android security feature and your system partition will be restored when you reboot. After installing the tools and the firmware (only Nexmon) you will land on the home screen and airodump will start. If you don't see any networks, make sure you have enabled your WiFi and it's in monitor mode. If you have a problem, go to settings and click "Test Tools". If they all pass, you probably don't have monitor mode enabled. If something fails, click "Copy test command" and select the tool that fails. A sample command will be copied to your clipboard so you can open a terminal, run it, and see what's wrong.
Keep in mind that Hijacker is just a GUI for these tools. The way it runs the tools is fairly simple, and if all the tests pass and you are in monitor mode, then you should be getting the results you want. But also keep in mind that these are AUDITING tools. This means that they are used to TEST the integrity of your network, so there is a chance (and you should hope for it) that the attacks don't work on a network. It's not the app's fault, it's actually something to be happy about (given that this means that your network is safe). However, if an attack works when you type a command in a terminal, but not with the app, feel free to post here to resolve the issue. This app is still under development so bugs are to be expected.
Troubleshooting:
First of all, if the app happens to crash at a random time, run it again and close it properly. This is to make sure that there are not any tools still running in the background, as this can cause battery drain. If it crashes during startup or exiting, open a terminal, run `ps | busybox grep -e air -e mdk` and kill the processes you see.
Most of the problems arise from the binaries not being installed (correctly or at all). If that's the case, go to settings, click "install tools", choose directories for binaries and the lib (libfakeioctl.so) and click install. If the directory for your binaries is included in PATH, then you don't have to do anything else. If it's not, the you need to adjust the absolute paths of the binaries, right below the "install tools" option. This might also cause problems (especially with mdk) since these programs require the wireless tools to be installed, and they won't find them if you install them anywhere other than the paths included in your PATH variable. If you don't know what the PATH variable is, then you probably shouldn't be using any of these programs.
If you are certain that there is problem with the app itself and not the tools installation, open an issue here so I can fix it. Make sure to include precise steps to reproduce the problem and a logcat (having the logcat messages options enabled in settings). If the app happens to crash, a new activity should start which will generate a report in /sdcard and give you the option to email it to me directly. I suggest you do that, and if you are worried about what will be sent you can check it out yourself, it's just a txt file and it will be sent as an email attachment to me.

[adb] [Wireless debugging] [Wi-Fi] Is there an updated XDA tutorial yet on setting up adb COMPLETELY wirelessly as of Android 11+ (no USB cable!)?

Is there an updated XDA tutorial yet on setting up adb COMPLETELY wirelessly as of Android 11?
Why do I ask?
Using adb is a critical developer/hacking/user tool
As of Android 11, adb has been fundamentally changed for Wi-Fi
As of Android 12, adb was further improved for Wi-Fi
The existing XDA Developers' tutorial doesn't contain that info
I figured it out on my own (see below)...
(Which meant a LOT of new questions popped up that had to be solved that could have been answered in a tutorial)
Unfortunately, almost everything out there that I can find about adb is (wrong / inaccurate / incomplete [choose one]) in terms of how to set up a wi-fi connection as of Android 11 & 12.
The problem is there are important questions to be solved that are MISSING from that old tutorial
(These problems revolve around connection completely from the PC side only)
Where I would think EVERYONE would have the SAME questions as I do about the new setup
(And for which an updated XDA Developers' adb tutorial would be very useful!)
Mostly these new Android 11+ Developer options Wireless debugging features eliminate the USB cable.
But that then instantly brings up the non-intuitively fundamental question of ESTABLISHING the connection solely from the PC...
(which - let's never forget - is how the older, well documented USB-cable-first-then-Wi-FI adb connection had always been done)​
Hence my question of:
Is there an updated XDA tutorial yet on setting up adb COMPLETELY wirelessly as of Android 11+ & 12+?
DETAILS:
Spoiler: Short summary of steps which should be in a tutorial
Given how important adb is to Android software development and hacking, I searched for an XDA Developers writeup on how the newly added Android 11+ Developer options Wireless debugging works and which incorporates a few of the even more newly added Android 12+ Developer options Wireless debugging tiles (which are CRITICAL but it's not obvious to those who haven't done it why those new Android 12 tiles have to be used every day all day!) & Android 12's separate ability to randomize the phone's MAC address for every Wi-Fi connection for added privacy (not just for every Wi-Fi SSID as Android 11 did it) which itself has further implications for reserving IP addresses (usually erroneously referred to as "static IP addresses" in the router and on the phone) for those daily random-port connections using adb over Wi-Fi only. You can no longer connect "from" the PC until after you physically "look" (using live human eyeballs!) to locate either the random port assignment (for "adb connect") or a different random port assignment plus a random pin assignment (for the new Android 11+ encrypted "adb pair" command). Now you can connect via adb over Wi-FI from the PC. But bear in mind the catch! Frequently (upon reboot for example), the Android 12+ tile turns off, as does the Developer options:Wireless debugging toggle, as does the Wi-Fi connection (in my case for privacy, as I have Wi-Fi toggle off when I leave the range of the LAN - which then turns off Wireless-debugging in an unintended cascade) but more importantly, frequently the random port assignment changes as does the random pin assignment. So you have to perform the all-important human-eyeball LOOK frequently - which you would rather not need to do if you could help it
Whew! I said what "should" be in a tutorial so others don't have to figure all of that out on their own just to set up adb completely wirelessly (without first establishing a USB connection on the PC).
I figured it all out, of course, but that XDA Developers writeup didn't help (in fact it hurts)... because it contained completely outdated information (which is why I wrote that long paragraph above, to summarize what's completely missing).
Here's what needs to be done on the phone:
Enable Wi-Fi (mine is set up to NOT auto-reconnect, for privacy)
Establish a connection over Wi-Fi to an SSID on your LAN
Enable Developer options:Wireless debugging (Android 11+)
Enable Developer options:Wireless debugging Tile (Android 12+)
Enable random MAC address per SSID (Android 11) or per connection (Android 12+)
Enable the (so-called) static IP address of the phone
Physically eyeball the random Wireless debugging port assignment (&/or random port + random PIN)
Note all the questions are related to the fact everyone wants to eliminate that last step above!
On the PC:
Simply assure yourself that the phone is on the LAN (e.g., ping 192.168.0.2) (duh)
Remember - it's using a RANDOM MAC address so the router has to be configured for that
Then connect from the PC adb to the phone completely over Wi-Fi (encrypted or not)
Remember - there's no initial establishment via USB - which means you need to know random ports!
adb connect 192.168.0.2:12345 (or) adb pair 192.168.0.2:12345 123456
Remember - everyone's goal is to obtain those random ports 100% from the PC side of things
You may have to accept an encryption dialog on your phone if this is the first time using that PC
At this point, adb over Wi-Fi works the same as adb has always worked (over USB first, then over Wi-Fi).
Until, of course, Android randomly resets the port assignment - which it does frequently!
Then you're back to having to look at the phone for the random port assignment
Notice that most of the issues people are having (see reference list below) are related to the fact that the random port assignement, as far as we know, can ONLY be obtained from a visual inspection of the Android phone - but also notice that nobody used to need to do that in the olden days (when we connected via USB cable first!).
My observation is nobody wants to do that visual inspection of the phone every time, all day, every day, whenever Android re-randomizes the MAC address (which, for me, happens frequently but my phone is set up specifically for Wi-FI privacy).
In summary, this thread asks if there is an XDA Developers' writeup for connecting adb on the PC completely wirelessly to Android 11 and Android 12 and up.
The REASON I believe that XDA Developers' updated adb tutorial is needed by hackers/developers/users is:
a. The way adb works over Wi-Fi is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT as of Android 11 (this is why finding an updated tutorial is needed!)
b. I had to figure all this out on my own, so that means everyone else does too (unless I missed the XDA Developers' tutorial), and,
c. There are still a ton of open unanswered questions that everyone also has.
REFERENCES: (in no specific order, these are attempts to make it work the way everyone wants it to work!)
(PSA) Using the new Android 12 TILE for 'Developer options' 'Wireless debugging' to establish adb connection over Wi-Fi without USB
What's the difference between Windows/Android adb "connect" versus adb "pair" when mirroring Android 12 over Wi-Fi onto a Windows PC?
Android 12 Developer options adb "Wireless debugging" option keeps turning off
[adb,scrcpy,vysor] What ports does Android 12 randomly set when Wi-Fi connecting via Wireless debugging adb "pair" or "connect" commands?
[adb] What is the adb syntax to connect wirelessly to Android by unique serial number (instead of by Wi-Fi LAN IP address & random port assignment)?
Note that none of those threads would be needed if we could have found a comprehensive tutorial that was updated to Android 11 and 12 new connect-adb-over-Wi-Fi-without-USB functionality that answers those basic obvious questions to ask. (See illustrative screenshots below).
Is an updated XDA Developers' writeup extant for connecting adb on the PC completely wirelessly to Android?

I simply use ladb - it's an app that makes the whole process a breeze
See a big xda write up about it here ..
How to debloat your phone (and more) without connecting to a PC
LADB is an app that lets you run ADB shell commands from your phone, no root and no PC needed! Use it to debloat your phone and more!

Thanks for that advice to use Local ADB which "leverages Android’s built-in support for ADB over WiFi to provide a GUI for sending shell commands straight from the Android device."
The great news is that was the first XDA Developers' tutorial that I've seen that showed cognizance of the new Android 11 features of setting up adb completely wirelessly (without need for USB first).
* GitHub: LADB (A local ADB shell for Android!)
The bad news is that, at least upon initial inspection, ladb doesn't do anything you can't do inside of Termux as far as I can tell (is that correct though - maybe the ladb apk can do more privileged actions?).
Spoiler: Example of doing in Termux what would often be done in adb
1. Install F-droid <https://f-droid.org/>
<https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk>
2. Install F-Droid Termux <https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/>
<https://f-droid.org/repo/com.termux_117.apk>
3. Add F-Droid Termux Widget <https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux.widget/>
<https://f-droid.org/repo/com.termux.widget_12.apk>
4. Run the F-Droid Termux & create an alias we'll name "rad" for reset ad id.
$ rad
(This should report: No command rad found)
$ alias rad 'am start -n com.google.android.gms/.ads.settings.AdsSettingsActivity'
$ rad
(this should pop up the "Reset Advertising ID" Activity on your phone
(manually close that Activity for now - we can programmatically close it later)
$ cat ~/.bashrc
cat /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.bashrc
No such file or directory
$ alias > ~/.bashrc
$ cat !$
alias rad='am start -n com.google.android.gms/.ads.settings.AdsSettingsActivity'
$ unalias rad
$ rad
(This should report: No command rad found)
$ source ~/.bashrc
$ rad
(this should pop up the "Reset Advertising ID" Activity on your phone
(manually close that Activity for now - we can programatically close it later)
5. Run the F-Droid Termux and create two directories for the shortcut widget
$ mkdir -p $HOME/.shortcuts (we will put our shell script here)
$ mkdir -p $HOME/.shortcuts/tasks (we didn't use this directory yet)
6. Create a shell script to open up the reset ad id Activity.
$ cd $HOME/.shortcuts
$ nano ./rad.sh
Edit the result to look like this:
#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash
am start -n com.google.android.gms/.ads.settings.AdsSettingsActivity
$ chmod +x ./rad.sh
$ ./rad.sh
(nothing will happen)
7. Modify termux to be able to execute user shell scripts on Android.
$ pkg install termux-exec
8. Test your shell script.
$ ./rad.sh
(this should pop up the "Reset Advertising ID" Activity on your phone
(manually close that Activity for now - we can programmatically close it later)
9. Add the Termux Widget to your homescreen.
Long press your Android homescreen.
Select "Widgets" & then "Termux:Widget" & place it on your Android homescreen.
It will ask: Create widget and allow access? to which you press "Yes"
Then press the "rad.sh" entry showing up in that Termux Widget.
"Termux requires "Display over other apps" permission
to start terminal sessions from background on Android >=10."
"Grants it from Settings -> Apps -> Termux -> Advanced"
10. Grant Termux permission to display over other apps:
Android11:Settings > Apps > Your apps > Termux > Appear on top = (change off to on)
11. Now press the Termux Widget entry named "rad.sh"
(this should pop up the "Reset Advertising ID" Activity on your phone
(manually close that Activity for now - we can programmatically close it later)
12. Reboot the phone & ensure everything is persistent.
Tap the new homescreen icon after rebooting
& the "reset ad id" Activity should pop up.
But worse, the LocalADB instructions clearly say to do the same manual (aurgh!) steps we've been doing all along.
That is, even with LADB, they're still NOT obtaining the random port address programatically; they're getting it manually - just like I've been doing all along without LADB.
So ladb doesn't change anything... as far as I can tell (but maybe I'm wrong?).
"Copy the 6 digit “Wi-Fi pairing code” and paste it into the “pairing code” box in LADB. Copy the 5 digit port number from the IP address (the 5 numbers after the colon) and paste it into the “Port” box in LADB."

If I were to "guess" wildly - then that means what everyone wants is perhaps impossible to accomplish; but I'm still hoping that's not the case - but - the point is to find an updated XDA Developers' tutorial that shows an awareness of the stated problem set.
EDIT: I have an idea. I installed LADB on Android, and now I'm trying to see if I can query that LADB from the PC using adb commands where the goal is maybe the PC adb can query the Android ladb to figure out what the current random port assignment is???

Yes .. everything you have said is correct
I wouldn't say it has any special privileges. It just guides you through the connection process.
You end up with a blank canvas in terminal - just as you would using termux
Not sure what the app costs, I purchased pre release so cost barely a thing
either way , it cuts out some of the faff and i'd certainly recommend for a less tech savvy person...
Then again.. why wouldn't anyone with no clue, use adb?
If I can assist in any way. Feel free to give me a shout on telegram

I must again thank you for letting me know about local adb.
I installed ladb the instant you informed me about it.
Yesterday and today I started to test it out.

I'm hoping maybe this ladb running on the Android device "might" give it something special that the PC doesn't have in terms of access to the information of the random port assignment on Android.
There are multiple levels of this problem set, the top level being the almost complete lack of XDA Developers' tutorials that have any cognizance of what's new in Android 11 and up with respect to adb wireless connections - where - again - I thank you for finding the one and only XDA Developers' tutorial that shows that awareness.
However, the more important level of this problem set is to find a way to connect adb wirelessly to Android WITHOUT manually grepping the random port with our eyeballs.

It may very well be that the Android developers made that impossible (e.g., for security reasons); but in the absence of any information or tutorial stating that as a fact, I'm not going to assume it's impossible (yet).
AFAICT, the way to solve the problem is to find a way to either:
a. Keep the port assignment static, or,
b. Set the port to a specific assignment (as we did with USB), or,
c. Determine the random port assignment programatically
It "may" be that local adb can help in that latter method... dunno yet... but I didn't even know ladb existed until you mentioned it so I'm starting from scratch without a tutorial (for this part of the problem set).
CFKod said:

Actually, after looking it up since yesterday, I think local adb DOES have more privileges than does Termux; so I was wrong in that assumption.
The ladb developer, @tytydraco said so himself on Dec 18, 2020 when he announced the existence of the ladb APK on XDA Developers.
tytydraco said:
for those of you who have used or encountered ADB in the past, you know that you usually need a PC to shell into your phone. While yes, apps such as Termux exist, they don't have elevated privileges as ADB does.

So we can safely assume ladb has "elevated privileges" which Termux doesn't have (which is a good thing as we may need them!).

Well.... just as "mock location" GPS spoofing is a "Developer option" that has gone mainstream, I suspect we're at an inflection point where with screen mirroring of scrcpy and vysor, that adb usb/wireless debugging has gone mainstream too!
In summary, here's the status so far (which may change over time)...
a. Unfortunately, nobody knows of an updated XDA adb tutorial
b. But there is an updated XDA ladb tutorial
c. But even that ladb tutorial REQUIRES an eyeball grep of the random port assignment (aurgh!)
Note with the brand new Android 12 tile that it's not in the least difficult to do that eyeball grep of the current random port assignment (although you have to get up from your computer to find the phone in order to do so) - but the whole point of computers is they are supposed to do that stuff for you (are they not?).
While it may be designed that way by Google, I'm hoping I can figure out a programatic way to obtain that random port assignment from the PC, where the suggestion of perhaps implementing ladb as a middleman "might" solve that problem (if I can figure out the method).
Thanks for your help and advice, as everyone has the same adb random port assignment problem who wants to mirror their phone onto the PC completely wirelessly - and for which there is no known XDA tutorial to help them (yet).
BTW, I've noticed only recently since I started testing out ladb that the serial numbers are different where I wonder if anyone can explain why there is both a long and a short serial number when using adb completely wirelessly.
Note the question matters because "maybe" we can omit the random port if we can connect via the static serial numbers...

Adb source changes a lot, with the adb wifi stuff being added in, you could probably compile a modified adb binary to use via an apk like ladb that could use a static serial number connection method.
In source, there's a lot of testing binaries you can compile, iirc in maybe 11-dev branch there was some code commented out to allow for more insecure connections.

Hey I have noticed that shizuku also uses wireless adb...
I may have time to test it later.

Thank you for that suggestion, because if it was easy to connect purely over Wi-Fi (sans USB) between adb on the PC and the Android 11+ phone (WITHOUT eyeballing the randomly assigned port address), it would have been documented already (since it's what EVERYONE wants to do).
So we're breaking new ground...
And, while I definitely harbor the optimism that there (almost always) is a way, I do agree that nobody on the Internet (that I can find) has found THAT way.
Still... as you suggested, ladb does have some extra "hooks" on the phone itself which may allow ladb to REPORT back to the PC over Wi-Fi what our EYEBALLS have to see for themselves today (of the random port address).
This report back to the PC (of the random port address) over Wi-FI has to be done in some OTHER protocol than adb itself, I suspect... as it's a chicken-and-the-egg scenario otherwise.
BTW, we "might" be able to use the Android serial number to good effect, but probably not as my tests using the Android serial number only work AFTER the adb connection has been prior established.
Code:
C:\> adb devices
*daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5555
*daemon started successfully
List of devices attached
C:\> adb devices
List of devices attached
C:\> adb devices
adb-YFVR80V7YFY-yF7kj8._adb-tls-connect._tcp. device
C:\> scrcpy -s adb-YFVR80V7YFY-yF7kj8._adb-tls-connect._tcp.
C:\> adb connect -s adb-YFVR80V7YFY-yF7kj8._adb-tls-connect._tcp.

Thank you for that pointer to Shizuku which, like ladb, I had never heard of until you mentioned it as a possible solution.
What's nice is Shizuku has its own updated tutorial on XDA Developers which, at least, is aware of the new Android 11+ Developer options:Wireless debugging toggle, as it says...
"On Android 11 or above, you can enable Wireless debugging and start Shizuku directly from your device, without connecting to a computer."

By which they really mean:
"On Android 11 or above, you can enable Wireless debugging and start Shizuku directly from your device, without first needing to connect by USB to a computer."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm not rooted; but, since Shizuku can be started on the Android device, maybe it can be used to tell the computer over Wi-Fi what the current random port address assignment is (or the unencrypted adb connect command) or the random port and pin assignment (for the encrypted adb connect command).

1. This thread is a question (mostly) about a missing XDA tutorial.
2. The NEED for the tutorial is embedded in the details
Essentially...
a. We need an updated adb TUTORIAL for Android 11+ new features
b. Specifically, how to connect COMPLETELY via Wi-Fi (no USB)
Keeping in mind...
i. The OLD USE model used adb over USB first
ii. And then, after USB connection, adb could move to Wi-Fi
What we want is...
A. The Android 11+ use model is to eliminate the need for USB
B. But STILL connect using adb over Wi-Fi from the PC
Where...
A. The OLD use model was done COMPLETELY from the PC
B. And we're simply trying to REPLICATE that old use model
However... the problem is...
1. So far, we MUST first ascertain VISUALLY the random port (& PIN)
2. Which means we can no longer connect FROM the PC
That's the problem exposed by this thread, in a nutshell...
But... I do NOT understand what the two posts above are asking us to answer...
a. "I want to apply this program, Yasser, as much as possible"
b. "And not google"
Huh?
A. Which program? (adb? ladb? shizuku?)
B. Who (or what?) is Yasser?
C. And what does "not Google" have to do with it?
D. What does that poster want as an "answer"?
I want to help the guy (just as I'd want to help anyone).
But I don't understand what the heck the guy is even asking.
Can someone translate that English translation to something that makes sense in English that can be answered in English?
