  • #4

@svansvan is it support English language ?

it is ONLY in English

Hi, when I run this, nothing comes up I downlaod Framework 4 running on 64 win 7

1) Install Framework 4
2) You download NetworkADB-x64.zip unzip and run NetworkADB.exe and click Install.
In Windows Explorer (not IE) in folder My PC (in left treview) should appear «Network ADB»
——-
if you tried to install the program without Framework 4.
1) Install Framework 4
2) Uninstall NetworkADB
3) Install NetworkADB

~200 downloads from this site
~300 in russian
no comments or reviews.
It means all everything works well

video course terrible quality
After install:
1) in LEFT side of Explorer window (tree)
You have «My computer» in this item you have disks C,D… You have item «network adb»?
2) in context menu on item Network Adb (right mouse click) you have «properties, connect, disconnect etc» items ?

Like as in attached screens in main post.

Do you run install exe as administrator?
Do you restart windows after instal Framework 4 ?

In same folder (where you run install.exe) You will have some files. 2 ddl’s must be registered in system. may, for whatever reason, they did not register. there need to debug deeper knowledge and only Monday I will be able to give more detailed instructions

Try this Release x32 version. Before install — uninstall old version.
(This error is probably due to the fact that the version was in Debug)
I do not have 32 windows, so I can not test

What version number .NET Framework ? (it should be 4.+)
I have only 64 bit Windows 7. I can only compile in 32. Only one person with a 32 bit version left a tip (in russian forum — all works), but it has windows 10.
By the way, I do not guarantee the work in Windows 10 too (it works, but there are 3 bugs)
With this data, I can not know what the problem is: something is wrong with your system or is it a problem in my code.
People download, but do not leave comments
In this case, I upload the source code. Can someone help you faster. I did not get to fixing the problems in Windows 10 (and I do not know when it will be)

Last Try (added strong named key for dll`s + fix assembly):

Hi,
i have .NET 4.5.1 installed. And only Win7Pro.
I will try your latest x32 and report back.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot!

If it does not work at all, try update .NET to 4.6 version and restart PC.
do you have this path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe
if folder v4.0.30319 not exist, try find in folders(subfolders) C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework program RegAsm.exe
This program is needed to register 2 dll`s (WindowsShell.dll, NsEx3.dll).
copy RegAsm.exe to install folder (where placed NetworkADB.exe)
in console (run console as administrator!) run:
1) RegAsm.exe WindowsShell.dll /codebase
2) RegAsm.exe NsEx3.dll /codebase
in output you can see like: Types are registered successfully
In general, the entire installation is reduced to registering these two dll files using the .NET program regasm.exe
If the registration is successful — everything will work.
After, using Task Manager — kill process explorer.exe, and run new task explorer.exe (restart explorer.exe)
This is the maximally-extended technical documentation that I could give.

  • #14

Hi Svansvan,

yes i have the folders and the exe.
First i will update to 4.6.x .NET , restart and do as you said.
I will report back, thanks for your great help!

***edit*** according to the check of the DWORD in the registry as mentioned on this page https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh925568(v=vs.110).aspx#net_d
I have 4.6.2 already installed, so far so good.

***2nd edit*** i have a nsext3.dll, but not nsex3.dll also not a windowsshell.dll, can you provide them please?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Svansvan,
i did as you described above.
It al registers perfectly. But starting the program still gives the Just in Time Debug error.
Is there something that need to be done in Visual Studio which needs to be enabled, just like the error messsage says (in above post) ?

Sorry for all this trouble. Hoep you can find what the issue can be.

Have a good weekend.

This page contains a manual to connect with ADB over LAN or WiFi (Network Debugging) from a terminal window.

ADB over LAN/Wifi/WAN in 8 easy steps (december 2022)

  1. Enable Developer Mode
  2. Enable Network Debugging
  3. Take note of IP address
  4. Download ADB.exe (and drivers, if needed)
  5. Open command prompt (terminal)
  6. Connect to device
  7. Authorize connection (on device)
  8. (Re-)check connection
    Done! Connected.
  9. Optional: ADB over WAN

Note: This manual is written for use with a Windows PC
but can be done with any (SSH) terminal app on any device.

Enable ‘Developer Mode’

  1. Go to Android SettingsDevice settings – Info
  2. Tap 5x on Build

Enable ‘Network Debugging’

  1. Go to Android SettingsDevice settings

  1. Go to Developer Options

  1. Go to ‘Network Debuggin’ and enable it

Take note of IP address

Remember the IP address of your device, in this case we use 192.168.2.113:5555

    Download ADB, and if needed drivers

    Download the links below and extract files to your drive, in this case we use c:\tool and c:\drivers

    ADB, for windows (for all Android devices)
    ‘extract to c:\tool’
    Download ~12MB
    Drivers, for windows (debug + fastboot, if needed)
    ‘extract to c:\drivers’
    Download ~9MB

    Open command prompt

    we need to open up a command prompt in administrator mode:

    • Press Windows START and type ‘cmd‘,
    • right-click on ‘Command prompt’ and choose
    • ‘Open as administrator’

    • navigate to c:\tool by typing the following command:
    cd c:\tool

    Proper folder selected, check.

    Connect to device

    Now we can check if adb.exe can connect with the device (adb-daemon-service starts automaticly)

    • Type command:
    adb connect 192.168.2.113
    The device is recognized but we need
    to authorize the connection on Shield device.

    Authorize computer

    • Use the remote controller (or keyboard/gamepad) to authorize, select ‘Allow’

    • (re)Check if adb.exe is now authorized, by typing in the command window again:
    adb devices

    Device connected and ready for use

    ADB over WAN

    ADB over WAN is also possible but not recommended.

    Be sure your Computer is authorized in the device and open port 5555 in your router to the IP address of your Android device (NAT port forwarding).
