Thank you Galunid for pointing me in the right direction.
While the EDL issues are still here, I made a backup of /system and /recovery with dd.
To be safe, first I checked the sizeof /system with "df -h", it is around 3.0G in my case. /recovery is usually small, <100 MB. So I did:
Code:
# /system, around 3.00 GB
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/system of=/storage/emulated/0/system_modded.img
# /recovery, around 64 MB
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/recovery of=/storage/emulated/0/recovery_stock.img
then copied those from the storage to PC. The sizes are exactly 3.0G and 64M for /system and /recovery images, respectively. Now I can finally fully load my Kon-Tiki 2 with upscaled manga xD
So if something bad happens I should be able (I hope) to flash them directly with fastboot to respective partitions.
