Need to get a disk image of your Android’s internal storage?

Need to get a disk image of your Android’s internal storage?

It’s a pain in the ass now that started using MTP.  The only reliable way I found to get block access was to boot into recovery mode and use adb shell.  From there you can grab your image(s).

I understand why they did it, but understanding why doesn’t mean I have to like it.  They could have left mass storage access in, and required a remount in read only mode or something.

FYI for anybody that cares. Gmtp and mtp-tools packages for Wheezy still have some growing up to do.
