All

I'm asking for a sanity check here.  This is not a high priority item for me, but I would welcome your opinions/thoughts.

I have an Iphone that I would like to make a truly complete backup (to include firmware)  Think forensic copy.  The phone is NOT rooted or jailbreaked.

My plan is to use lubuntu to mount the Iphone (connected via a usb cable) and then use the dd command to copy the entire device to a file on the lubuntu box.

So, my question is "Do you think this is possible?".   Is there something fundamentally wrong with this approach.  I am asking before I spend a whole bunch of time trying to make this work, and then find out I went down a blind alley. Maybe the Iphone has to have root privileges?  Maybe it has to be set in recovery mode?  Is there an easy way to tell if I mount the device, do I have access to everything on the device?  I think if I can see the partitions, I should be able to copy them.

Your thoughts/comments are welcome.  Once again, this is not a high priority item, so if you care to share, don't put a ton of effort behind it.  Quick reaction is fine, just looking for a sanity check.

Thanks in advance.

I looked into it and only successful person I seen do it the way you want was on a jailbroken iPhone with openssh otherwise just not something they want you to do because it'd open other security issue I'm sure
