Dynamic Harmony Cable by Chimera Certain Huawei models at certain firmware level need a so-called Harmony Cable if you want to access the phone in factory mode. Using Chimera and the Dynamic Harmony Cable you will be able to handle the PC-phone communication without removing and reinserting the USB cable. This will save you time during the procedure, it also reduces errors due to forgotten or wrongly executed cable insertion.

| Jan 2, 2023 | 34.45.1032OPPO Qcomm Dynamic FRP Remove Added a new FRP Remove solution for OPPO phones with Qualcomm SoCs. It's available from EDL mode. We can't provide an exact supported model list, because it's a generic solution which utilises a custom feature of the Qualcomm programmers.
The new solution uses Oppo programmers from the official firmware packs, which are named like "prog_firehose_ddr_fwupdate.elf". If Chimera can't provide you a suitable programmer you can look inside a firmware pack and pick one manually. You can use Chimera's own Firmware Extractor (Utility) for this. Be aware that the procedure can take a long time to execute (10-15 minutes) and removing the phone during the process will make the phone unable to boot. This long process usually happens only once on a device. You're welcome to post your experience and results to our thread on GSM-Forum. Please also share the model names for every successful procedure! |
