[Recovery] Partition mtdblock4 dd backup

[nreaction]

I'm trying to make a backup recovery of stock recovery partition.

Method tried:

dd if=/dev/block/mtdblock4 of=/sdcard/block4.img

i get this:

/dev/block/mtdblock4: read error: I/O error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred

method tried unsuccessful.

Thank you in advance for your help.

cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/boot.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/system.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/userdata.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd4 > /sdcard/recovery.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd5 > /sdcard/cache.img

Also, if you haven't installed a custom recovery, you might be able to find it in /system/recovery.img
cp /system/recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
or
adb pull /system/recovery.img .

Last question with this stock Backup Image of recovery, i should be able to run:
"flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img"

and it will flash the stock bootloader back over my clockworkmod recovery image?

thanks again guys! Im so stoked!

Today the moto cliq bootloader.... Tomorrow the world!!!hahaha

Yes, flash_image will do the trick.
