Default How to dump the ROM of SGSII?

Well, Wayerless (Chilean webstite of mobile phones) has a Galaxy S-II in their hands, which have been testing these days and recently published a review.
The guy who has it, offered to make a backup of the rom if someone told him how to do it. According to the comments on the website, he managed to root it, but combination of the 3 buttons is not enabled.

There is any way to make a backup via SDK?
I found a website called podtwo romdump (android.podtwo.com/romdump/), but I tried it on my SGS and doesn't work.

If someone could write a short tutorial to make a dump of the rom, maybe we could get it this week.

pd. Sorry for my english, im from Chile.
pd2. I cant put complete urls on my post. If you want to see wayerless's review search it on wayerless.com/2011/04/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-w-labs-exclusivo/

Regards.

you'd need to install busybox to /data/local then tar the /system

on adb shell:
cd /sdcard
ls // to make sure it's correctly here
chmod 755 /data/local/busybox // to make it executable
/data/local/busybox tar cvf dump.tar /system
