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.

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.
