A high-performance, rootless, and open-source USB flashing utility for Android. Designed for speed and reliability, it enables users to create bootable Linux and Windows drives directly from their Android device with a single tap.
- 🚀 High-Saturation Parallel Engine: Custom Rust core utilizing a 32-URB asynchronous pipeline for maximum USB 2.0/3.0 throughput.
- 🪟 Windows Deployment Core: Full support for Windows 10/11 ISOs (UDF) with automatic FAT32 formatting and intelligent WIM/SWM splitting for files >4GB.
- 🛡️ Safety-First Design: Mandatory data loss confirmation dialogs and automated drive ejection (SCSI START STOP UNIT) to prevent data corruption.
- ⚡ Ultra-Lightweight: Entire application package is optimized to be under 3MB while maintaining premium performance.
- 🔍 Real-Time Telemetry: Detailed live logger providing instant feedback on write speed, IOPS, and deployment progress.
- 🚫 OS Support Note: Supports Linux (ISO) and Windows (ISO/UDF). macOS (DMG/ISO) is currently not supported.
Hyntix USB Flasher is built on a hybrid architecture to balance modern UI flexibility with low-level performance:
- Android App (
:app): A modern Jetpack Compose interface following MVI (Model-View-Intent) principles for a reactive, smooth user experience. - Native SDK (
:androidusbflasher): A robust JNI bridge generated via UniFFI, exposing high-performance Rust primitives to the Kotlin layer. - Rust Core:
hyntix-usb: Low-level SCSI command generation (BOT protocol) and URB pipelining.hyntix-windows: Specialized crate for UDF parsing and intelligent WIM splitting.hyntix-fat32: High-speed FAT32/GPT formatting logic.
The engine is tuned for the specific constraints of mobile hardware:
- Triple-Pipelined Verification: Simultaneous USB reading, SHA-256/BLAKE3 hashing, and progress reporting to eliminate idle bus time.
- Adaptive DMA Chunks: Automatically adjusts URB sizes based on the Android kernel's DMA memory pool availability (AIMD algorithm).
- LTO Optimization: All native binaries are compiled with Link-Time Optimization and optimized for binary size without sacrificing hot-path performance.
- Android 13 (Tiramisu) or higher (API 33).
- A USB-OTG adapter.
- A USB 2.0 or 3.0 flash drive.
- Environment Setup:
- Install Android NDK (r28+ required for 16KB page size support on Android 15+).
- Install Rust:
rustup target add aarch64-linux-android.
- Compile & Install:
