[Technical Overview & Write Guide] Vivo Y31d (PD2533F) Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 UFS Dump & Dead Boot Repair
Device & Hardware Architecture:- Device Model: Vivo Y31d (Internal Project ID: PD2533F / PD2533)
- Platform / SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 (SM4450 / 4nm Samsung 4LPP)
- Baseband / Modem: Integrated Snapdragon X61 5G Modem
- Storage Interface: UFS 2.2 Dual-Lane
- Storage Capacities: 128GB / 256GB
- Storage IC Form Factor: BGA 153 UFS (Micron / SK Hynix / Samsung)
- Stock OS Baseline: Android 15 / Android 16 (OriginOS / Funtouch OS)
- File Target: Qualcomm Multi-LUN Raw Sector Dump Set (LUN0_userarea_minimal.bin, LUN1_xbl_a.bin, LUN2_xbl_b.bin, LUN3_rpmb.bin, rawprogram0.xml, patch0.xml)
- Application: Dead boot recovery, unbricking Qualcomm Emergency Download (EDL 9008) mode handshake loops, repairing broken/wiped partition tables (GPT corruption), and direct UFS 2.2 IC replacement via hardware programmers (EasyJTAG Plus UFS, UFI UFS Prog, MiTester, Medusa Pro II).
Critical Hardware Warnings & Security Protocols
- Vivo Qualcomm SLA / Firehose Authorization:
- Flashing the PD2533F via USB EDL (9008) requires authorized Vivo server-side credentials. Generic QFIL loaders or unauthorized multi-brand tools will encounter Sahara / Firehose Auth Signature Validation Failed.
- Direct chip-level flashing (via desoldered BGA socket or high-speed ISP) writes directly to physical storage blocks, completely bypassing the CPU EDL cryptographic authentication gate.
- RPMB Hardware Provisioning:
- The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 (SM4450) permanently programs and pairs its Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) key to the UFS IC upon first initialization.
- For an IC replacement, the replacement UFS chip must have an unprovisioned RPMB (counter 0x0). If using a donor UFS chip, you must transplant the matched pair: SM4450 CPU + UFS IC together from the donor board.
- Preserve Baseband & Radio Calibration (EFS / NVRAM):
- Modem calibration tables, RF filters, and dual-IMEI parameters reside in dedicated Qualcomm non-volatile sectors on LUN 0.
- Always perform a raw backup of: modemst1, modemst2, fsg, fsc, persist, vivo_reserve
- Overwriting or formatting these sectors without a device-specific backup leads to an unknown baseband, null IMEI, or permanent loss of cellular network reception.

Step-by-Step Direct UFS / Box Flashing Instructions (EasyJTAG Plus / UFI UFS)
Step 1: Hardware Connection (BGA Socket vs. High-Speed ISP)
- Via Direct BGA Socket (Recommended):
- Desolder the BGA 153 UFS IC using a temperature-controlled rework station (240°C–250°C).
- Clean remaining underfill and lead-free alloy with solder flux and copper wick.
- Reball the IC using leaded solder balls (183°C) or precision stencil paste.
- Seat the chip securely into the dedicated BGA 153 UFS socket adapter on your programmer.
- Via High-Speed ISP:
- Solder micro-jumpers for TX_P/N, RX_P/N, REF_CLK, RST_N, and GND.
- Keep wire lengths under 3 cm to prevent signal degradation on high-frequency differential traces.
- Supply 3.3V to VCC and 1.2V to VCCQ (or power the motherboard via USB-C to ensure PMIC rail stabilization).
Step 2: Programmer Initialization & LUN Verification
- Launch EasyJTAG Plus UFS Tool or UFI UFS ToolBox.
- Select interface mode: UFS Direct at PWM Gear 1 (or HS-G1 for verified setups).
- Click Check UFS / Scan:

Platform: Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 (SM4450 / PD2533F) UFS Vendor: Samsung / Micron / SK Hynix UFS Spec: 2.2 Boot Configuration: Boot from LUN 1 (Boot A / XBL) Enabled LUN 0: Capacity ~119.24 GB / ~238.48 GB LUN 1: Capacity 4096 KB (XBL Slot A) LUN 2: Capacity 4096 KB (XBL Slot B) LUN 3: Capacity 4096 KB (RPMB)
Step 3: Writing Dump Blocks to Storage
- Write Primary Boot Stages (XBL):
- Flash LUN1_xbl_a.bin into LUN 1.
- Flash LUN2_xbl_b.bin into LUN 2.
- Write Partition Map & Core Boot Blocks (LUN 0):
- Write raw_gpt_lun0.bin (or deploy via rawprogram0.xml) to rebuild the GUID Partition Table.
- Flash core boot partitions: xbl_config_a, abl_a, boot_a, init_boot_a, vendor_boot_a, dtbo_a, and vbmeta_a.
- If writing a minimal dump, flash the first 2GB–4GB of LUN0_userarea_minimal.bin to populate the secondary bootloader (ABL) and Fastboot environment.
- If previously backed up from the original board, restore modemst1, modemst2, fsg, fsc, and persist.
- Verify checksum logs to confirm zero ECC transmission errors or write timeouts.
Step 4: Reassembly & Fastboot Firmware Recovery
- Solder the reballed UFS chip back onto the phone's PCB (or disconnect all ISP jumpers).
- Reassemble the board into the frame, connect the battery, and hold Volume Down + Power.
- The phone will boot straight into Vivo Fastboot Mode.
- Connect the phone to your PC via a USB-C data cable.
- Deploy the official Vivo Y31d (PD2533F) Fastboot/Factory firmware package using authorized servicing software (or run fastboot flash scripts for dynamic partitions) to restore the full system image and reboot into the setup wizard.
