I would like to ask for an advice. I've got LG V40 mobile phone from a friend. Unfortunatelly, he has done factory reset even though he had important photos in the phone (internal memory). I would like to make block a copy via dd and try to rescue at least some photos. Someone already rooted the phone and installed TWRP there and I don't know what else. Now I can only access fastboot and TWRP on the phone. When I list "/dev/block" folder through adb, I can see this:

There is no device like "/dev/block/mmcblk0". This should represent whole device internal memory. Am I right? What could be a problem? Or how can I address and copy (block level) whole internal memory? My knowledge about Android is really limited so I appreciate every hint you can give me. Thank you!
sd[a|b|c|...]andmmcblk[0|1|2|...]are just naming conventions in Linux kernel for different types of storage devices. Read this: dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-pk/000132092/…
