By default, QPST stores these memory dumps in its log directory. You can find them by going to: menu in QPST Configuration. Open Log File Directory
This guide details the procedure for performing a Qualcomm Sahara Memory Dump. This is an advanced low-level operation used to extract the entire contents of a device's eMMC/UFS storage (or specific memory regions) when the device is in Qualcomm EDL (Emergency Download) mode.
When a Qualcomm device enters a crash state or is manually forced into dump mode, the Sahara protocol becomes the bridge through which the device's memory contents are transmitted to the host computer. The device status indicator in QPST Configuration will read "Sahara Memory Dump" during this process, confirming that the protocol is active and data transfer is in progress. qpst sahara memory dump upd
The Port_COMX folder contains the complete DUMP LOG, and its size will roughly equal the device's memory size. For example, a project with 512MB of RAM will generate a DUMP LOG folder of approximately 512MB.

Use automated framework tools like the ( ramparse.py ) alongside an identical architecture-matching cross-compiler toolchain ( arm-linux-androideabi-gdb ) and the compiled vmlinux debug file to generate readable text logs.
Here is the critical part. When you see "Sahara Memory Dump" happening, it usually means one of two things: By default, QPST stores these memory dumps in
The term "Memory Dump" in the context of Sahara usually refers to the client. Firehose is a protocol that rides on top of Sahara. It allows the host to send XML-based commands to the device’s bootloader.
If QFIL hangs on "Sahara Connecting," you must use the command line to force the handshake. This is an advanced low-level operation used to
