USB Debugging option on my Android keeps turning off [closed]

Question

Every time I restart my Android phone after enabling the USB debugging in Developer Options, the USB Debugging option gets disabled.

How do I keep it enabled even after restarting my Android phone.

Answer 1

This is an old issue but it seems that it still happens so I would like to share the solution that I have found.

I have the same issue with my Honor 9 Lite:

Every times I enable USB Debugging, I can see that, when I leave the developer menu and come back, USB debugging is OFF. I can't keep it ON.

I have found the solution on another web site and it is working for me:

• Disconnect the phone
• Revoke all the USB debugging permissions (on my phone, this option is proposed just after the USB Debugging switch)
• Enable USB Debugging
• Leave the developer menu
• Connect the phone to the PC
• Select 'transfer files' option
• Accept the PC certificate fingerprint.

@KaranSingh THANK YOU! The posted answer did not work but your comment did. I had to go to the developer menu and click "Restore Default Settings" (the bar at the bottom of the developer menu), then I re-enabled developer menu and enabled USB debugging and then it worked! – Gudrunguelderrose

Answer 2

I have found a solution on XDA developpers forum for my Honor 7X, Android 8.0.0, EMUI 8.0.0, build BND-L21 8.0.0.302(C432log):

Enable the 'allow debugging in charge only mode' and it should fix the problem

Note that it can already be enabled. You can try to disable and re-enable it to fix the problem.

In my case the mentioned option was already enabled so I had to disable it and then to enable both options and it helped. – Georgiannegeorgic

Answer 3

My device is Honor 9lite and I faced this issue after sometime of using debug mode.

You just have to follow these steps:

1. after connecting android device and pc/laptop via usb cable, just enable "transfer files" option.
2. then enable debugging option in developer option menu.
3. a message will be prompted like a certification and just allow that for your device as always.

There you go! It worked for me.

Answer 5

In my case, none of the previous answers worked (I always got a unrecognized driver error). I just used a new cable and it instantly got detected and installed the correct drivers.
