How To Dump

adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0pX (where X is the partition you want to dump)

The above method will not dump the security permissions on the files and folders. To get complete images of each of the partitions you need enough space to dump each of the partitions on your sdcard and use the following commands from adb shell or in a terminal on the device:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pX of=/sdcard/name.img (where X is the partition you want to dump and name.img is the name of the file system. e.g. sytem.img, boot.img, etc)

To dump them back to their original location reverse the if(input file) and of(output file).
