Watch the teaser on our YouTube channel! World’s First Solution Coming to ChimeraTool!

Can you guess the topic?

⭐️11/11/2025⭐️ World-First Oppo Qualcomm EDL Solution

World-First Oppo Qualcomm EDL Solution

Update Week – Day 1

We're excited to announce a new, world-first solution — Chimera now supports most Oppo Qualcomm devices released since 2014 in EDL mode.
This means hundreds of new supported models and a major improvement for Oppo service professionals.

Until now, Oppo Qualcomm devices required authentication to use their programmers, meaning you had to depend on online-only solutions.
We’ve eliminated that limitation — from now on, you can perform all key operations offline with your Chimera licence.

Many users have requested Oppo Qualcomm support for a long time, and now it’s here.


Supported procedures

• Remove FRP
• Factory Reset
• Update Firmware
• Restore / Store Backup

Although we haven’t tested these specific devices yet, our solution covers all required conditions, so it should work for them as well.

• Oppo A3 4G
• Oppo A31
• Oppo A33

We’ve already tested a wide range of Oppo Qualcomm devices, but we know there are many more out there.
Consider this a small challenge — try the new solution with other models, and if you find additional devices that work, let us know on any of our forums.
Please include your Work ID when sharing your results so we can verify and add them to our supported list.


Technical Notes & Tips

• Phone connection: On some models, you need to keep the buttons pressed until the “Reconnect Battery” dialog appears to ensure a successful EDL connection.
• Oppo DL Mode: When a Qualcomm-based Oppo device is connected to Chimera, the system automatically starts the identification procedure.
  In most cases, detection completes successfully if you press and hold both Volume and Power buttons during the initial connection.
  
  Special case – Oppo DL Mode:
  Some models may only enter a special “Oppo DL Mode” using this method.
  If that happens, follow these steps to manually access Recovery Mode:
  • Press and hold the Volume Down button while the phone is booting.
  • Once in Recovery Mode, select your language.
  • Tap multiple times on the “Version” indicator.
  • A hidden dialog will appear — from there, enter Download (EDL) Mode.
  
  On certain rare models, neither button combinations nor Recovery Mode will switch the device into the correct EDL Mode.
  In such cases, you’ll need to use hardware Test Points to establish the EDL connection manually.
• AntiRollback warning: In some cases, after servicing or performing a firmware update, the phone may no longer connect in EDL mode.
  This can happen if the new firmware increases the AntiRollback version, making the previously compatible programmer unusable for the updated device.
• Android 15 compatibility: The solution also works after upgrading to Android 15 on OnePlus 11, OnePlus Open, and Oppo N3.

Stay tuned — we’ll be back tomorrow with the next wave of our world-first update!

Update Week – Day 3

You may have already guessed it. Our third update focuses on Realme. With this release, we are adding support for a large number of Realme Qualcomm devices that no other tool has been able to service in EDL mode before.

These models normally require authenticated programmers, which means traditional tools can only handle them through online verification. With Chimera, this limitation does not apply. You can service all supported Realme Qualcomm devices fully offline using your existing Chimera licence.

Many users have been asking for Realme Qualcomm support, and we are happy to deliver it as the next milestone of our Update Week series.

  In such cases, hardware Test Points are required to establish the connection.
• AntiRollback warning: After servicing or a firmware update, the device may no longer connect in EDL mode.
  This can happen if the new firmware raises the AntiRollback version, making the previously compatible programmer unusable.
• Android 15 compatibility: The solution also works after upgrading to Android 15 on Oppo 11, Oppo Open and Oppo N3.
• OnePlus 13 note: After the first boot, the phone restarts automatically. The programmer works correctly from the second boot.

Other Chimera Improvements

We made the following improvements to help the work of our users:

• Oppo Firmware Extraction Disk Space Check: The extraction of firmware needs a lot of space these days. We check the disk space and warn you if you don't have enough space to extract the given firmware.
• Copyable Model Specifications: Earlier we added the Show model specifications feature, so when you contact a phone, you will see detailed properties. Now you can copy the keys and values easily after selecting a specific entry.
