Shizuku Stuck on Waiting for Service: How to Fix

Shizuku allows third-party apps to use system-level APIs with elevated permissions without the need to root your device. It can function via three different methods- Wireless Debugging, ADB Command, and Root. The process via Debugging is the lengthiest of the three, but is also the most used one, as it doesn’t require root or PC.

However, I have seen numerous instances [myself included] wherein after carrying out all the steps, the app gets stuck on Waiting for Service. While one way to deal with this is to start from scratch, however, that calls for a lot of effort. So in this guide, we will show you a quick and short trick using which you can easily address this issue once and for all. Follow along.

NOTE: Shizuku on the Play Store hasn't been updated for well over a year, and hence is causing a lot of issues with newer versions of Android. Therefore, it is recommended to use the app via GitHub only. Now that's out of the way, let's turn our attention towards the rectification measures.

To fix the issue of Shizuku being stuck on Waiting for Service, you just need to disable and re-enable Wireless Debugging. So minimize the app, head over to Developer Options, turn off Wireless Debugging, and then re-enable it. Now go back to Shizuku, and it will automatically start this time around [would take the usual 3-second time frame]. Since toggling the Wireless Debugging has no impact on the Pairing Code, so we were able to execute this trick with ease.
