System: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/system.img

Would this be enough to have a proper "original" image? (With the small addition of root offcourse)

Here /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 is the cache partition.

Tried with romdump 0.72 but that crashes :(

Most tutorials use Rom Manager, but that needs some work from @koush before we can use it.

I'll google on

When I find a way to backup the current recovery image, yes .
Any idea where I can find that partition?

I think it is /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 but I need to check more.

To earn the balls of steel badge, you must flash it without any known fix.

( joking, of course )

Hehe, didnt know you had any :P.
So my guess was right, thanks for the confirmation!

EDIT: Checked your threads, excellent work m8. Going to follow it!

if I understand it correctly, DD can't be used to backup everything.
That's the reason I'm looking for a difrent way to make a Android backup before doing anything brave and/or stupid :)

I flashed it permanently and all is working as it was. May I now please have this "Balls of steel badge"?

Still I dont know of a way to enter the recovery though. I tried 'adb reboot recovery' but that only powers off the device, as it did before I flashed it. Also no key combination get me into the recovery menu. Ideas?

EDIT: The command 'adb reboot recovery' does work when I use Remote ADB and thus not with the USB cable. When I use the USB cable it powers off and shows me the battery being charged. It seems the charging screen is taking over when you reboot through ABD.

That's weird. You may, indeed have your badge. You certainly earned it
