I'm trying to connect to a TV set-top box. After issuing "adb connect my_IP_address" I get this error "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)". I've tried many basic solutions like the ones from this SO thread but they either don't work or I can't attempt them since they require a USB cable connection and my device dosen't respond to that for some reason.

USB debugging is enabled and I'm sure the device is connected to the same network since I successfully pinged it. Surprisingly I discovered that the 5555 port which is usually used for connecting isn't even open. I got that from using Nmap to check for a particular port. Then I used Nmap to see which ports are open and only got 3:

PORT     STATE SERVICE

8008/tcp open http
8009/tcp open ajp13
9000/tcp open cslistener

None of those is suitable for a connection and it looks like there is no available port? What can I do from here?

First, you need to open the 5555 port for communication

Step to open the port

  1. plug your device to the pc

  2. issue command to open the port adb start-server 5555

  3. adb connect my_IP_address:5555
