🔧 How I Fixed a Xiaomi IMEI Using This Hidden Diag Code (No PC Commands, No Root)
Okay, I gotta share this — if you work in mobile repair like me, you need to know about this trick. I was fixing a Redmi Note 13 Pro+ the other day (model: Garnet) and the IMEI was gone after some update mess. Normally, I’d use ADB to turn on Diag Mode, but USB debugging was off — classic headache.
Then I remembered this code I saw online a while back:
👉 *#*#73694364#*#*
I didn’t expect much, but typed it into the dialer anyway. Not even joking — the phone instantly switched into Diag Mode. I checked Device Manager, and there it was: Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9008. Just like that.
💡 What This Code Does
So basically, this is a hidden shortcut in Xiaomi devices running HyperOS 2.0. When you type *#*#73694364#*#*
in the dialer, it silently enables Diag mode. No popup, no menu — it just works in the background.
Perfect for:
- IMEI Repair (QCN write)
- QFIL backup/restore
- Any operation that needs the diagnostic COM port
📱 Models I’ve Tested This On:
- Fuxi (Xiaomi 13)
- Ishtar (Xiaomi 13 Pro)
- Garnet (Redmi Note 13 Pro+)
Worked on all three. Might work on others too, especially those running HyperOS with Qualcomm CPUs.
🔧 Real Use Case
Here’s what I did that day:
- Opened the dialer
- Typed
*#*#73694364#*#*
- Plugged into PC — port showed up
- Loaded QCN in QPST, restored backup
- IMEI was back in 3 minutes, no root, no flashing
Customer thought I was a genius. I just smiled 😎
⚠️ A Few Tips
- You need Qualcomm drivers on your PC
- Doesn’t work on MTK (MediaTek) models
- Use it responsibly — don’t touch IMEI unless you’re restoring a legit backup
- No need to press the call button — it triggers automatically
Honestly, this little trick saved me a ton of time and frustration. If you do repairs, especially on Xiaomi devices, keep this code handy. Could save your day like it did mine.
