Hi Skfir,

In principle, you can make an image of the entire internal storage or of selected partitions using the "dd" command from adb or a terminal emulator app (you might need to install busybox to have dd).

The problem lies when you want to use that backup:
with stock recovery you can't adb into the device while in recovery mode to restore the backup, and you definitely don't want to restore such a backup while the system is running. So it isn't very useful, really.

Maybe someone has another idea?
