⭐️18/09/2025⭐️ MTK Revamp And A Lot More
MTK Revamp And A Lot More
The Chimera Team is back from the summer holidays, recharged and ready to deliver! We're ready to roll out exciting updates, powerful new features, and broader device support — all designed to make your servicing experience smoother and faster than ever.
So you see what we’re talking about — here is a huge update with some of the stuff we’ve been working on silently lately.
MTK Revamp With World-First SoC support
We’re excited to share that Chimera now offers broader support for MTK devices powered by the MT6991 and MT6899 chipsets. Device detection is fully supported with DAs compiled up to January 2025, and in most cases, even beyond. Our new development affects older models as well: Chimera can now provide a broader level of support for the whole range of MTK devices.
Newly Supported Models: - MT6991
- Dimensity 9400
- Oppo Find X8 (CPH2651, PKB110)
- Oppo Find X8 Pro (CPH2659, PKC110, PKC130)
- Vivo iQOO Neo10 Pro (China) (2426A)
- Vivo X200 (V2415A, V2405A)
- Vivo X200 Pro (V2413)
- Vivo X200 Pro mini (V2419A, V2405DA)
- Dimensity 9400+
- OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra (PLC110)
- Xiaomi Redmi K80 Ultra / Redmi K80 Extreme Edition
- Vivo X200s (V2458A)
- Oppo Find X8s (PKT110)
- Oppo Find X8s+ (PLB110)
- Realme GT7 (China)
- Dimensity 9400e
- Realme GT 7 (RMX5061)
- Realme Neo7 Turbo
- OnePlus Ace 5 Racing (PLF110)
- MT6899
- Dimensity 8400
- Vivo iQOO Z10 Turbo (V2452A)

On the devices above, the following procedures are now available: Factory Reset, Remove FRP, Get Info, Backup/Restore, Firmware Update.
We’ve created a step-by-step tutorial video to help you get started quickly. You can watch it here: Mediatek Dimensity 9400 & Variants Support.
Note: Availability may vary by firmware/security patch level. We’ll continue to refine performance and extend the support.
MTK UFS RPMB Region Support
We’ve expanded our MTK capabilities with full support for UFS RPMB regions. Chimera can now detect and manage multiple RPMB partitions (0–3), and these regions can now be saved and restored securely, ensuring reliable data handling across a wider range of devices.
MTK DA Chooser
We’ve introduced a new chooser feature that lets users load and use their own DA files. This makes device connections faster and more flexible, especially when working with dozens or even hundreds of the same model one after another.
MTK Flash - File Selector Filters
We refined the filtering options in the MTK flash interface, making it easier and faster for you to find the relevant files when flashing your devices.
MTK Flash - Region Dependant Super Partition
We discovered that in certain cases our MTK flash procedure could fail when flashing the super partition. We identified the root cause, fixed the issue, and now the flash procedure works reliably.
Bypass IT Admin Lock — New Method
We’ve updated our procedure for IT Admin Lock bypass. This new method improves reliability while preserving user data and keeping Play Store functionality intact, so you can unlock devices without affecting the user experience. The procedure is available in ADB mode.
EUB Network Factory Reset — CHA Carrier Added
Our EUB Network Factory Reset procedure has been extended to support the CHA carrier, broadening network reset coverage.
Chimera USB Log View
We’ve added a brand-new UI feature that allows you to easily keep track of all your attached devices, giving you a clear overview of connections right inside Chimera.
So, what do you think? We’d love to hear your feedback — join the conversation on our forums or in our Telegram channel!

Qualcomm Set Active Slot and Samsung Qualcomm Improvements
Set Active Slot Procedure
We have introduced a brand new A/B slot switching procedure for Qualcomm devices! This feature is especially useful on devices where fastboot mode is not available. With A/B (seamless) system updates, your phone uses two system partitions (slot A and slot B). Our new procedure lets you safely switch between these slots, helping you recover devices or continue work even if one slot becomes unusable.

⭐️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.

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!

World-First Oppo/OnePlus/Realme Qualcomm EDL Solution
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.

With today’s update, we now support more than 120 successfully tested devices, and the real number is likely even higher.
Many additional Realme, OnePlus and Oppo Qualcomm models should also work with this solution, even if they have not yet been verified.
Technical Notes & Tips
- Phone connection: Some models require you to keep the buttons pressed until the “Reconnect Battery” dialog appears to ensure a successful EDL connection.
- OppoDL Mode: When a Qualcomm-based Oppo, OnePlus or Realme device is connected to Chimera, the system automatically starts the identification procedure.
In most cases, detection completes successfully if you hold both Volume and Power buttons during the initial connection.
Special case – OppoDL Mode:
Certain models may only enter a special OppoDL Mode using this method. If that happens, follow these steps to access Recovery Mode manually:- Press and hold the Volume Down button while the phone is booting.
- Select your language once Recovery Mode appears.
- Tap multiple times on the “Version” indicator.
- When the hidden menu appears, choose Download (EDL) Mode.
On rare models, neither button combinations nor Recovery Mode will switch the device into the proper EDL mode.
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.
