Wow! Thank you soooo much! I finally was able to dump all partitions except userdata
Thank you very much for helping me learn so much about all this boot stuff ^^)

Now I am super confident I will be able to restore things, if they get awfully broken xD

The tools I mentioned don't work properly on newly extracted boot and recovery images too. The create ramdisk and split_img directories, and only "-origsize" file with a number.

On the other hand, I see that "system.img" is basically "/", but its "/data" directory is empty, so there is no "/data/property" directory. Is it in the missing "userdata.img"? Or are some of these directories encrypted?

(I miss lsblk, which is not present in Android, AFAIK)
