How to restore partitions saved with dd?

[Guest NeBlackCat]

If you've saved flash partitions using dd on the phone, eg:

dd bs=4096 if=/dev/mtd/mtd0 of=/sdcard/mtd0.dd

then how are you supposed to restore them again? Is it as simple as:

dd bs=4096 if=/sdcard/mtd0.dd of=/dev/mtd/mtd0

As I've not seen anyone use this method as yet, I'm reluctant to try (without some nudging!) in case I end up with a brick!

did you had any success or did you got any solution?

otherwise I would say, that your solution is as simple as it is because "if" means "input file" and "of" "output file" but I didn't use the command so I'm not responsible ;)
