This guide provides detailed instructions for connecting to cloud phone devices via ADB, supporting Android 12/15 and Android 13/14 versions.

1. ADB Connection for Android 12 / Android 15 Cloud Phones

Step 1: Connect to the Cloud Phone IP and Port

Use the adb connect command to directly connect to the cloud phone's IP address and port.

adb connect 172.168.10.1:123456

Replace 172.168.10.1:123456 with your actual cloud phone IP and port.

Step 2: Authenticate with Connection Code

After successful connection, authenticate using the connection code.

adb shell 123456

Or specify the device address:

adb -s 172.168.10.1:123456 shell 123456

Note: The connection code is usually provided by the cloud phone platform. Ensure it is entered correctly.

2. ADB Connection for Android 13 / Android 14 / Android 15A Cloud Phones

For these versions, an SSH tunnel must be established to forward the ADB port. This requires two steps.

Step 1: Establish SSH Tunnel (Open First CMD Window)

Run the following SSH command to map the remote ADB port to your local machine:

ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa 10.2.179.250_1763627294587@107.151.131.2 -p 1824 -L 9897:adb-proxy:14566 -Nf

Notes:

• Replace the username, IP, and port in the command with your actual configuration.
• When prompted for a password, paste the SSH password and press Enter.
• The command will not produce any output if successful, indicating the tunnel is running in the background.

Step 2: Connect to Local ADB Port (Open Second CMD Window)

In a new window, execute the ADB connection command:

adb connect localhost:9897

Successful output example:

connected to localhost:9897

Complete Workflow Example

1. First CMD Window (SSH Tunnel):

ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa 10.2.179.250_1763627294587@107.151.131.2 -p 1824 -L 9897:adb-proxy:14566 -Nf

2. Second CMD Window (ADB Connection):

adb connect localhost:9897

Verify Connection Status

Run the following command to check if the device is connected:

adb devices

Expected output:

List of devices attached
localhost:9897     Device

Common ADB Commands Reference

Important Notes

• Ensure you have installed Android SDK Platform Tools and configured environment variables.
• The SSH tunnel method for Android 13/14/15A is encrypted and secure — recommended for use.
• If connection times out, check network settings, firewall rules, and port configurations.
• Always confirm that the cloud phone is powered on and ADB access is enabled before connecting.

Follow these steps to successfully connect your cloud phone for ADB debugging and automation tasks.
