Payload Dumper Rust

Android OTA payload dumper written in Rust.

What is Payload?

• Android payload is a file that contains ROM partitions like boot , system, vendor . and others. Payload Dumper extracts these partitions from the payload.bin file

features

• Extracts all or individual images directly from payload.bin or ROM ZIP file.

• Supports extracting individual partitions from URLs without downloading the full ROM ZIP.

• All decompression processes run in parallel for improved performance. ( can be customised by using--no-parallel or --threads <n> as argument )

• Output partitions Verification ✅
• Parallel Extraction ✅
• Selective Partition Extraction ✅
• Direct Extraction from URL ✅

How To Use

• Download Binaries for your respective Platform from releases section

• If you are using a rooted android device you might want to install it as a magisk module

• or Run this in termux / Linux Terminal to install

• To install on windows, run this in Powershell

Install via Cargo

If you have Rust and Cargo installed, you can install this tool with:

cargo install payload_dumper

Usage :

Basic Usage

To extract partitions from a payload file, run the following command:

payload_dumper <path/to/payload.bin> --out output_directory

Direct ZIP Processing

it can directly process payloads from ZIP files without requiring manual extraction. Simply provide the path to the ZIP file:

./payload_dumper <path/to/ota.zip> --out <output_directory>

Remote Payloads

it can also handle payloads/zips directly using url. Simply provide the URL as path. this is very slow compared to local extraction though.

./payload_dumper https://example.com/payload.bin

Individual partitions extraction.

• to extract individual partitions from payloads/URL/zips , use --images and enter the name of partitions you want to extract comma-separated.

for example to just extract boot and vendor_boot from url/zip/payload , simply run
