Hwk Ufs Usb Driver High Quality 【2026 Release】

The Ultimate Guide to the HWK UFS USB Driver: Installation, Troubleshooting, and Usage

❌ Common Issues & Fixes

| Problem | Solution | |---------|----------| | Driver not installing / error 10 | Re-enable test mode + run as admin | | Device keeps disconnecting | Use USB 2.0 port + short cable | | Shows “Unknown Device” | Re-enter UFS mode (reshort testpoint) | | IDT tool stuck at “Wait for device” | Driver not correctly assigned; reinstall manually |

Issue B: Error Code 52 (Unsigned Driver)

Solution: Permanently disable driver signature enforcement (not recommended for daily use) OR sign the driver yourself.

  • Use DSEO (Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider) or EasyBCD to enable test signing mode.
  • Command: bcdedit /set testsigning on → Reboot. (You will see a watermark; disable after use with bcdedit /set testsigning off).

8. Conclusion

The HWK UFS USB Driver is a critical piece of legacy software infrastructure that bridges modern USB interfaces with older mobile flashing protocols. While the hardware is aging, understanding the Virtual COM Port architecture and manual installation techniques remains essential for technicians maintaining legacy mobile infrastructure. Proper driver management ensures stability for low-level operations such as unbricking and firmware unlocking.

🛠 Installation Steps (Windows 10/11)

  1. Disable Driver Signature Enforcement (required on Win 8/10/11)

    • Restart → Shift + Restart → Troubleshoot → Startup Settings → Disable driver signature enforcement

  2. Install Huawei USB drivers (standard HiSuite drivers first) hwk ufs usb driver

  3. Install HWK UFS specific driver manually:

    • Connect device in UFS emergency mode (short testpoint or force download mode)
    • Device Manager → Unknown / “HUAWEI USB COM 1.0” → Update driver
    • Browse → Let me pick → Have Disk → Select huawei_usb_com.inf
    • Choose HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 (UFS)

  4. Verify:
    Device Manager → Ports (COM & LPT) → HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 (COMx)

Method 1: Standard Installation (May fail on Windows 10/11)

  1. Download the HWK UFS driver pack from a trusted source (see Part 8 for safety warnings).
  2. Disable Driver Signature Enforcement (Critical):
    • Restart your PC.
    • Press F8 (or Shift + Restart → Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → Startup Settings → Restart → Press 7 for "Disable driver signature enforcement").
  3. Run the driver installer as Administrator (Right-click → Run as Administrator).
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts. If asked for the device, plug in your HWK UFS box.
  5. Restart Windows.

6.2 "Code 10" or "Code 43" Errors

  • Cause: This usually occurs on Windows 8/10/11 due to driver signature enforcement. Older HWK drivers were signed with SHA-1 certificates, which modern Windows versions block.
  • Solution: Windows Test Signing Mode.
    1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
    2. Run: bcdedit /set testsigning on
    3. Restart the computer.
    4. Install the driver.
    • Note: Secure Boot in BIOS must often be disabled for this to work.
