Hi guys, thanks very much for your instructions above, they're great. I'm trying to get ADB access to my son's innoTV so that I can install Kodi and for a bit of fun 
Anyway I bought a spare 8Gb class 10 micro SD card - I wanted to keep the original sd card unchanged so that i don't destroy it completely (the wife would kill me!). So to prove that my dd'ing works, I inserted the sd card into my linux machine and took an image of the original SD using the command:
dd if=/dev/sdb of=innoTVsdBackup.bin
which worked fine and created an 8Gb file
and then I swapped over sd cards in my linux machine and wrote the image down to the "new" microSD card:
dd if=innoTVsdBackup.bin of=/dev/sdb
which appeared to work, it took about 25 minutes and wrote down 8Gb.
But when I inserted the "new" microSD into the innotv and booted up, it seemed to go through the "first boot" process where the screen came up and said "updating apps" and then when this finished, although it successfully started up, it had lost my son's profile.
Do I need to write the image back down with a specific blocksize in my dd command or does the innoTV keep a record of the uuid (or something) of the microSD and therefore it knows that I've inserted a different one. Anyone had any experience with writing down to a different microSD to the original?
Thanks guys
