I made the script more robust where the goal is to simplify connection when mirroring the phone over Wi-Fi (no USB) when you're at home.

Most of the effort is tricks to get around modern Android security fences.

  :: adbconnect.bat 
  ::  No-USB, Wi-Fi only, adb/scrcpy static IP and static 5555 port connect
  :: v1p0 20260611 converted adbconnect.vbs to adbconnect.bat
  ::  Connects desktop & phone over adb & mirrors phone on the monitor
  ::  No USB cord is used in this process as it's all done over Wi-Fi
  ::  Should work even if either the PC and/or the phone is rebooted
  ::  The script will ask only for the minimum amount of data needed
  ::  Change the phone static IP address as needed to fit your LAN IP address
  :: v1p1 20260611 reliability improvements added to v1p0
  ::   Added better device lookup (skip header,ignore blanks,avoid false matches)
  ::   Added retry logic for adb pair & adb connect (for when phone not ready)
  ::   Improved polish (consistent quoting, stable scrcpy launch)
  :: v1p2 20260611 further reliability improvements added to v1p1
  ::   Use separate retry counters for pair/connect to avoid loop 
  ::   interference (ATTEMPTS_PAIR, ATTEMPTS_CONN)
  ::   Added fail-fast with clear error codes and user hints after retry 
  ::   exhaustion
  ::   Added a detection of the device id after initial connect 
  ::   (handles ephemeral adb ports like 192.168.1.4:54321)
  ::   Use DEVICE_ID for subsequent -s tcpip command (quoted) 
  ::   to avoid parsing issues with colons
  ::   Fallback device-id lookup when initial pattern match fails 
  ::   (robust parsing of "adb devices")
  ::   Consistent quoting of %ADB% and device identifiers to avoid 
  ::   CMD parsing errors
  :: v1p3 20260612 moved the pipe outside the FOR command for reliability
  :: v1p4 20260612 divorced the console from the mirrored Android image
  ::   so that either can be killed by the user and the other will remain
