Once in EDL, the computer and device use the to communicate. The computer sends a "Hello" command to the device, initiating a handshake. The device responds with its capabilities and version information. Then, the PC uses the Sahara protocol to transfer a Firehose Loader to the device's limited internal memory (SRAM). After a successful transfer and signature verification, the device executes this loader. It then transitions from the simple Sahara protocol to the more powerful Firehose Protocol .

After a system crash, connect your device to your PC via USB. Open (or lsusb on Linux). If your device is in the correct "dump" state, it will appear as a port, often labelled as DIAG or with a port number like 9006 . This is your confirmation that the device is ready to have its memory dumped. Once in EDL, the computer and device use the to communicate
Open Command Prompt as Admin and run:
A raw Sahara memory dump outputs unstructured binary data. To make this information readable, engineers use post-processing frameworks: Then, the PC uses the Sahara protocol to
