If something takes 20 steps, we reduce it in half, and if it takes 2 steps,
we still reduce it in half, until everything we do, is a single quick step.

To that end, I've updated the adbconnect.bat so that it handles any IP address, any set of ports & any password prompt which ADB over Wi-Fi needs.

In addition, I was able to figure out a way to eliminate the scrcpy
console, where I had been using Herbert Kleebauer's ShowWin() previously.

The script below answers two questions anyone would have, which are:
Q: How do we connect desktop adb to Android Wi-Fi in the shortest steps?
Q: How to we mirror Android onto the desktop without an open console?

Both issues are solved below, but, as always, please test and let me know where/if I err or where/if I've omitted something that is critical to know.

:: adbconnect.bat
:: No-USB, Wi-Fi only, adb/scrcpy static IP and static 5555 port connect
:: v1p7 20260615
:: Removed the requirement for the "no-console" vbs script
:: by injecting the necessary commands into a temporary file
:: This is the cleanest way I can think of to eliminate the console.
:: v1p6 20260614
:: Called the vbs "no-console" script that comes with adb.
:: If the script isn't there, then it defaults to the old method.
:: The problem is getting completely rid of the scrcpy console isn't working.
:: These are the known scrcpy console-hiding methods:
:: (a) cmd /c start "" /min (minimizes the console)
:: The console is not hidden. It's just minimized.
:: (b) cmd start "" /B (background launch of detached console)
:: This detaches scrcpy from the batch console
:: (c) adb default VBS no-console wrapper (fully hidden window)
:: Default GUI-subsystem scrcpy launch (so no console is created)
:: CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run strCommand, 0, False
:: (d) Kleebauer ShowWindow() controller trick to hide the batch console
:: showwin.exe 0 SW_HIDE (Hides the batch console)
:: (e) Powershell ShowWindowAsync (similar idea to Herbert's ShowWindow()
:: Add-Type '[DllImport("user32.dll")]
:: public static extern bool
:: ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);'
:: Here is the original scrcpy-noconsole.vbs that comes with adb
:: strCommand = "cmd /c scrcpy.exe"
:: For Each Arg In WScript.Arguments
:: strCommand = strCommand & " """ & replace(Arg, """", """""""""") & """"
:: Next
:: CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run strCommand, 0, false
:: v1p5 20260613 Added query asking for the LAN IP address of the phone
:: Reordered comments to allow the current version to be obvious
:: v1p4 20260612 minimized the scrcpy console (but it's still there)
:: using cmd /c start "" /min (minimizes the console only)
:: The only known choices are
:: (a) Minimized console-subsystem launch (cmd /c start "" /min)
:: (b) Background detached launch (start "" /B)
:: (c) Hidden GUI-subsystem VBS launcher (no console created)
:: (d) External ShowWindow() console-visibility controller (Kleebauer trick)
:: (e) PowerShell ShowWindowAsync console hider (similar to ShowWindow())
:: v1p3 20260612 moved the pipe outside the FOR command for reliability
:: 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

:: Added a detection of the device id after initial connect

In case folks have forgotten, this is the venerable ShowWin() solution
which Herbert Kleebaurer kindly provided many years ago & which works well.

I used Herbert's method until I realized there was a default "no-console" method for launching scrcpy, where the difference in the two methods are
a. The ShowWin() method flashes and then hides the console from view
b. The VBS no-console method launches scrcpy without a console window

For the record, here's Herbert's ShowWin() method which has worked for
years where this is the version I used with USB (before adb Wi-Fi).
