Payload Dumper Rust: Fast Android OTA Extractor

Payload Dumper Rust is a fast, cross-platform command-line utility that extracts Android partition images directly from OTA payload.bin files. It pulls specific files like boot.img from local ROM archives or remote URLs without requiring full downloads or manual unzipping.

I use this whenever I need to grab a stock boot image to patch with Magisk, and it saves a massive amount of time. Instead of waiting for a 3GB ROM to download and extract on your PC, you can just paste the OTA URL, and the tool pulls the 50MB boot file directly using only the required bandwidth.

Features

• Direct URL extraction means you grab exactly the partition you need from a remote OTA link without downloading the entire firmware file first.
• ZIP file support lets you pull images straight from downloaded ROM archives, skipping the annoying manual unzipping step entirely.
• Parallel processing speeds up the extraction process by pushing the workload across every available CPU core on your machine.
• Cross-platform compatibility gives you the freedom to run the tool on Windows, Linux, macOS, or directly on your phone using Termux.

Support & Requirements

• Supported OS: Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android (via Termux)
• Root Requirement: None. This is a standalone command-line tool, not a Magisk/KernelSU module.

How to Install

1. Download the pre-built binary for your specific operating system from the project's GitHub releases page.
2. Open your terminal or command prompt in the folder where you saved the downloaded file.
3. Run the basic extraction command (for example: payload_dumper payload.bin -o output) to extract your partition images.
