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.

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!
