FirmwareKit.Sparse

A high-performance .NET library for parsing, editing, and converting Android Sparse images.

NuGet version License: MIT

Installation

dotnet add package FirmwareKit.Sparse

Basic Usage

Reading a Sparse Image

using FirmwareKit.Sparse;

// Parse a sparse image file
using var sparseFile = SparseFile.FromImageFile("system.simg");

// Access as a read-only Stream
using var stream = new SparseStream(sparseFile);
var buffer = new byte[4096];
stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

Converting Sparse to Raw

using FirmwareKit.Sparse;

SparseImageConverter.ConvertSparseToRaw(new[] { "system.img" }, "system.raw.img");

Resparsing (Splitting)

using FirmwareKit.Sparse;

using var sparseFile = SparseFile.FromImageFile("massive_system.simg");
// Split into multiple sparse files, each max 512MB
var smallerFiles = sparseFile.Resparse(512 * 1024 * 1024);

foreach (var file in smallerFiles)
{
    using var fs = new FileStream($"part_{file.Header.ImageChecksum}.img", FileMode.Create);
    file.WriteToStream(fs);
}
