Android adb: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Question

Help needed.

PC-Windows 10, Samsung S4 without simcard(connected to same wifi with PC, connected to PC thru USB).

So far. I've already tried uncheck/check USBDebugging, unplug/plugin USB, on/off Wifi, just couldn't get connection...What can possibly be wrong?

C:\Users\junew>adb devices

List of devices attached
d71ba392        device

C:\Users\junew>adb connect 192.168.0.27

unable to connect to 192.168.0.27:5555: cannot connect to 192.168.0.27:5555: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)(nothing pops up on my screen)

C:\Users\junew>adb kill-server

C:\Users\junew>adb usb

* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully

C:\Users\junew>adb connect 192.168.0.27

unable to connect to 192.168.0.27:5555: cannot connect to 192.168.0.27:5555: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)(Window pops up on Samsung screen, but still unable to connect)

I'm not sure that the Galaxy S4 supports adb-over-WiFi. That model is fairly old. — CommonsWare, Aug 19 '18 at 23:24
If not, what to do? There must be a way to deploy an App to an elder phone. — June Wang, Aug 19 '18 at 23:55
@JuneWang Did you downvoted my answer? Perhaps tell me why, thanks! — navylover, Aug 20 '18 at 02:22
@navylover I did so, because you copied my answer - while the question is a dupe. — Martin Zeitler, Aug 20 '18 at 02:26
"There must be a way to deploy an App to an elder phone" -- use the USB cable. — CommonsWare, Aug 20 '18 at 10:36
Actually this is not a duplicate. This question is regarding a specific error that occurs on some devices: "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)". Is it possible to reopen the issue? — M.Paunov, Jan 07 '21 at 07:45

1.Connect PC and device with USB cable. 2.Input below commands:

  adb kill-server
  adb tcpip 5555
  adb connect YourDeviceIpAddress(e.g 192.168.0.27, you could ensure it via viewing device configuration)
