Creating an image of an Android phone

Question

Does anyone know how to create a 1:1 disk image of an Android phone? I am taking a forensics course and our final project involves creating tools to recover information from a suspect's Android based phone, however to do this we need to be able to create a 1:1 image of the phone's disk for baseline comparisons. Also would the image be loadable into AVD?

Answer 1

Check nandroid.

I have backed up my SDcard and mount it on AVD, but I am not completely sure you can mount the internal mem that nandroid backs up.

Answer 2

have you looked at a VMWare image?
