Not all gadgets use an MTD. Some use an eMMC, so better take a peek at /sys/block/. > Is there anything in the subdirs of the /dev/disk/ directory? Android init, which creates the nodes under /dev/, uses /dev/block/. Usually, one can find devices under /dev/block/platform/*/*, where they are named after their partition. On some devices, for example, there is a boot and a recovery partition, which contain an Android image, with a kernel and initramfs embedded. After finding out those devices, I usually try something like: adb dd if=/dev/block/platform/XXXXX/recovery | dd of=recovery So, I will be dumping the contents from those partitions to a file on my laptop, which I can look into later.
