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.

| 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! |

| Apr 27, 2022 | 31.96.1203Xiaomi (MTK) Patch IMEI: MIUI 13 support and other improvements Xiaomi MIUI 13 support Now the Patch IMEI procedure works on MIUI 13 for all MTK SoCs. Pre-root is not required It's not required anymore to pre-root your phone with Magisk to make the procedure work. But we kept the "Disable boot patching" option on the panel, so you can still use it for pre-rooted phones. Known issues According to our research the IMEI patch is removed after a factory reset. In a worst case it can cause the phone to unable to boot up and shows the "NV data is corrupted" error on the screen. In case of this error you must reflash the phone with a suitable firmware and the error will be gone. After that you can re-run the Patch IMEI procedure to re-establish the patching. | |
