Huawei Secret Codes & USSD Dial Codes (2026)

EMUI / HarmonyOS codes

Huawei secret codes span both EMUI and HarmonyOS builds and are aimed squarely at hardware verification. The project menu is the main tool: it groups an automatic full-device test with individual checks for the screen, touch panel, receiver, speaker, microphones, cameras, sensors, vibration motor and charging circuitry, then prints a pass or fail summary you can screenshot.

Huawei also exposes firmware, software and hardware version screens. These are more important on Huawei hardware than most, because devices sold in different regions carry different firmware branches, and knowing your exact build number determines which official update packages will install at all.

Because recent Huawei devices ship without Google Mobile Services, some generic Android diagnostic strings behave differently or are absent entirely. Codes in the diagnostic and info categories below are read-only and safe to try; anything marked destructive triggers a data wipe as soon as it is entered, with no confirmation and no recovery path.

How to use Huawei codes

Open the Huawei dialer and go to the keypad, exactly as if you were dialling a number.
Type the code precisely as shown, including the leading * and the trailing #. Autocorrect and paste can drop characters, so type it out.
Most sequences fire the moment the final character is entered — you usually do not press call.
If the screen does not change, press the call button once; a few USSD strings need it.
Back up photos, messages and app data before running anything marked destructive, then confirm you are on the right device.
Nothing at all happening usually means the code is disabled on your firmware or blocked by your carrier — it is not a fault with your handset.

Huawei secret codes — FAQ

Ondersteun alle Huawei-fone dieselfde geheime kodes?

Nee. Kodeondersteuning hang af van die model, die fermwareweergawe en in baie gevalle die netwerkverskaffer wat die selfoon verskaf het. Ouer Huawei-modelle bied dikwels toegang tot meer diensspyskaarte as die nuutste modelle, omdat vervaardigers tegniese hulpmiddels geleidelik tot ondertekende diagnostiese toepassings beperk. As ’n kode niks doen nie, is dit byna seker uit jou sagtewareweergawe verwyder of daarin gedeaktiveer, eerder as dat dit verkeerd ingetik is.

Is dit veilig om Huawei se geheime kodes te skakel?

Die kodes wat ons as "veilig" merk, wys slegs inligting of maak ’n leesalleen-toetsspyskaart oop, dus kan hulle nie jou foon beskadig nie. Kodes gemerk "wees versigtig" verander ’n instelling of begin ’n hardewareprosedure wat jy eers moet verstaan, en kodes gemerk "vernietigend" wis gebruikersdata onmiddellik uit sonder enige bevestigingsdialoog. Maak altyd ’n rugsteun voordat jy enigiets in die vernietigende kategorie uitvoer.

Waarom gebeur niks wanneer ek ’n kode invoer nie?

Drie algemene redes: die kode word nie deur jou fermware ondersteun nie, jou netwerkoperateur het die USSD-string geblokkeer, of die skakeltoepassing vereis dat jy die oproepknoppie vir daardie spesifieke reeks druk. Probeer die kode met ’n ander SIM of in vliegtuigmodus, en kontroleer elke karakter, insluitend die sterretjie aan die begin en die hutsmerk aan die einde.

Sal die gebruik van hierdie kodes my Huawei-waarborg ongeldig maak?

Om bloot diagnostiese inligting te lees, maak nie 'n waarborg ongeldig nie. As jy egter radiofrekwensiebandinstellings verander, skryfbewerkings in 'n ingenieurskieslys uitvoer of 'n fabrieksformatering doen, kan dit jou toestel in 'n toestand laat wat 'n dienssentrum as gebruikerskade kan beskou. Hou by leesalleen-kodes, tensy jy amptelike herstelinstruksies volg.

Kan hierdie kodes 'n netwerkgeslote Huawei-foon ontsluit?

Nee. Netwerkontsluiting vereis 'n ontsluitkode wat deur die netwerkoperateur uitgereik is, of 'n amptelike ontsluitversoek deur jou operateur. Enige webwerf wat 'n gratis universele skakelkode vir ontsluiting belowe, mislei jou. Die kodes wat hier gelys word, bied slegs toegang tot diagnostiek, netwerkstatus, fermware-inligting en prosedures om fabrieksinstellings te herstel.

Hoe vind ek my IMEI op 'n Huawei-toestel?

Skakel *#06# op enige GSM- of LTE-foon, insluitend elke Huawei-model, en die IMEI verskyn onmiddellik. Jy kan ook die nommer met ons IMEI-kontroleerder valideer. Dit voer die Luhn-kontrolesomtoets uit wat die GSMA gebruik om verkeerd getikte of versinde IMEI-nommers op te spoor.
