Backup current rom

What would be best/fastest way two backup current rom?


Well i finally found out how to backup my recovery.img and bootimg.

I used the following command from ADB shell: #dd if=/dev/bml9 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

This dumps a recovery.img on the sdcard

for the backup of the boot.img use the command from ADB shell:
#dd if=/dev/bml8 of=/sdcard/boot.img

For system image i found working commands:
dd if=/dev/stl12 of=/sdcard/system.rfs
ore: dd if=/dev/stl12 of=/sdcard/system.img

Backup your stock recovery:
First check your recovery partition..
su
cat /proc/mtd
From there you'll see the recovery partition..
To backup the recovery..
cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /sdcard/orirecovery.img
