scrcpy: Numerous "could not listen..." errors after updating Android 11 device to Sept. 5 security patch

  • I have read the FAQ.
  • I have searched in existing issues.

Environment

  • OS: [Windows 10 21H1]
  • scrcpy version: [1.18]
  • installation method: [Windows binary, 64-bit]
  • device model: Pixel 3a
  • Android version: [11]

Describe the bug

Device (Android 11) was working fine with scrcpy prior to 9/5 security update. After security update, app fails to run. adb devices seems to show the device fine (only one connected), adb shell gets a device shell fine. Console output and adb logcat (flushed right before trying scrcpy) given below.

console output (some repetitive lines skipped):

Didn’t get a chance to test the second idea, because the first one (the one I got from reading the link) worked. After disconnecting the device, I went to Device Manager, selected the “show hidden devices” option in the View menu, found the device’s old entry in the Portable Devices category and uninstalled it. (Had I found multiples, I would’ve uninstalled them all, but I only found one.) Rebooted, tried again and scrcpy worked just fine. Hopefully that helps the next person that runs into the problem!
