"A hex dump, also referred to as a physical extraction, is achieved by pushing unsigned code or a bootloader into the phone and instructing the phone to dump memory from the phone to the computer."

by "dump memory", Does this refer to persistent or volatile memory? or both?

Thanks

It's commonly referred to the process of dumping the non volatile persistent memory, as loading a bootloader would require a restart, and a restart would clear your volatile memory…unless you were in a very cold room )

It would behoove you to do your own homework.

hex = binary data in a group of 8 bits (1 byte) represented in a base-16 numbering system 0-9, A-F. Hex dump essentially means a data dump. However using this description, any type of data acquisition (other than manual using camera) would be a "hex dump" so it would be better to refer to it as a physical acquisition, physical read or even physical dump!
