How to run dd on an Android phone

I'd like to recover data from my Android phone connected to my PC running Linux by making an image of its memory via dd. The issue i've encountered is that i can't find my phone with lsblk and similar utilities, but i can access it via MTP and Thunar file manager. When i have to recover data from a USB stick i mount it in read only to preserve data, i copy it with dd if=/dev/something .... and finally i run photorec on that copy. With an Android phone i can find where it is mount by issuing the "mount" command, but i cannot get the block device name (i mean /dev/something). Do you know how to do this? Should i disable temporarly mtpfs?

Please don't suggest me to use apps to recover data. I need to perform data recovery in a "almost-forensics" way.
