Do you need to use weinre?
weinre was built in an age when there were no remote debuggers available for mobile devices. Since then, some platforms are starting to provide remote debugger capabilities, as part of their platform tool set.
Android: Remote Debugging on Android with Chrome
iOS: Enabling Web Inspector for iOS
Firefox OS: Debugging on Firefox OS
Windows Phone: Debug Your App Built with Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova (note: as of 2015/01/15, that page suggests weinre as the debugger for Windows Phone)
