So I've accidently deleted a very important folder from my Xiaomi Redmi note 9s internal storage. I figured out there's no way to recover it, unless I dumb the whole internal storage to PC, mount it as a disk, then perform recovery
I followed the steps mentioned in this article

Windows:
adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555 # forward data over tcp connection
adb shell # open a connection
su # gain root access
BUSYBOX=/system/xbin/busybox # default location for most bb installers
# note: adapt the variable `BUSYBOX` to point to your install directory
# the TWRP default is `BUSYBOX=/sbin/busybox` (in case of bricked device)
$BUSYBOX nc -l -p 5555 -e $BUSYBOX dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0
# terminal 2
nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > $HOME/mmcblk0.raw
Look at the files / analysis
I rooted the phone installed busybox under bin not xbin due to error
Then
130|curtana:/ # $BUSYBOX nc -l -p 5555 -e $BUSYBOX dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0
I got
dd: error writing 'standard output': Connection reset by peer
24+0 records in
23+0 records out
11776 bytes (11.5KB) copied, 0.093130 seconds, 123.5KB/s
And the command on the second terminal was
$ nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > $HOME/mmcblk0.raw
-bash: nc: command not found
-bash: pv: command not found
So I was stuck and don't know what to do
If anyone can help me backup the image it will be very appreciated!
Sorry I'm a newbie and I'm just trying to work things out

Copy full disk image from Android to computer
I have a smartphone without the possibility to insert an SD-card. I would like to make a dump of the biggest partition (cause I lost files and I'd like to use a dump to recover them). The partition...

Windows:
- install cygwin. During install, add netcat (under Net) and pv (under util-linux) packages; the standard install is located in C:\ so make sure you have enough disk space beforehand;
- install adb e.g. through Android Studio. Make sure to add adb.exe executable file to the path variable to access it properly (guide).
- Open two cygwin consoles/terminals (one sending data, one receiving data) and enter in one of the terminals to enter the device:
adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555 # forward data over tcp connection
adb shell # open a connection
su # gain root access
BUSYBOX=/system/xbin/busybox # default location for most bb installers
# note: adapt the variable `BUSYBOX` to point to your install directory
# the TWRP default is `BUSYBOX=/sbin/busybox` (in case of bricked device)
- Decide what partition to copy, the /dev/block/mmcblk0 partition is usually the one containing the data you typically would want.
- In the following code, adapt the partition name according to 4. and quickly one after another type in terminal 1 and terminal 2:
$BUSYBOX nc -l -p 5555 -e $BUSYBOX dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0
# terminal 2
nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > $HOME/mmcblk0.raw
This saves the partition in the cygwin home directory (in a nutshell: it sends/receives output of dd over a tcp connection)
Look at the files / analysis
- To mount the partition in Windows you can use (OSFmount).
- To analyze the files I recommend Active@ Undelete but there are tons of alternatives. With that program you can also directly load all partitions from the file (without mounting it, so step 5 is redundant in this case)."
