What are DAA and SLA Authentication?

Download Agent Authentication and Serial Link Authentication are two security flags incorporated by Oppo on its MediaTek powered devices. Its task stands simple- to prevent the unauthorized flashing of files to the device’s respective partitions. In some instances, you may be able to bypass DAA by flashing the customized Download Agent file. But when it comes to bypassing the SLA, there’s no other alternative than completing its associated challenge, which could only be completed by authorized personnel. So who are these authorized people?

Well, they are the people having the official Oppo Account. In other words, people working in the service center. If an unauthorized user tries the flashing process, then the device’s EDL mode will verify the string. Upon checking that the string isn’t coming from a verified user, the BROM will straightaway stop the flashing process. With that said, there does exist a handy workaround to bypass both the DAA and SLA, and in this guide, we have shared just that.
