I just solved the problem.

If you only want to show the information of your app, adding android:debuggable="true" in the corresponding Manifest.xml.

Otherwise, rooting the device and flashing a customized boot.img with "ro.debuggable" set to 1.

Why? Check out: ro.debuggable

There are 3 possibilities:

  1. Try to change another usb cable.

    • There are many cables only for charge, not for data connection. buy a cable with data connection maybe solve your problem.

  2. Enable developer option

    • Go to the settings menu, and scroll down to "About phone." Tap it.
    • Scroll down to the bottom again, where you see "Build number." Tap it seven (7) times.
    • After the third tap, you'll see a playful dialog that says you're four taps away from being a developer. Keep on tapping, you've got the developer settings back.
    • You dive into that menu to do things like enable USB debugging
  3. Restart adb
    • adb kill-server
    • adb start-server
