Rom dump?

[raidzero]

I am not sure if this has been asked before, it seems to me like it would have been, but searching for rom dump was not what I was looking for. I want to know how you extract an image of your phone (files and all). So basically I would always have a backup if anything ever happened, I could reflash it and have all my apps and settings the way they were when I took the dump. (lol)
I am not sure if that is what a rom dump is, but it sounds good to me. Thanks

use spb backup

There is not a way to use sort of a dd type program to copy all the data from the phones memory bit by bit into a file on the PC (ideally nbh)?? when someone gets a new phone and the cooks ask them for a dump, how do they do that?

Thank you for asking this question, i was looking for this for the exact same reason. I might try to use spb backup but like you said i was really trying to make my own nbh/rom....

So I do not see much hope in creating an nbh file directly. That's fine, there are instructions on cooking a dump into an nbh, but I have not found very much info on how to make the dump in the first place. How is this done? Thanks

rom dumps only dump the os portion, the same portion you flash there is a way to dump the user portion, but I think writing it back risks a brick, because it cant be flashed with ruu

So the apps I have added and files I have created are in the os portion or the user portion?
