I'm afraid the current image for the MINIX NEO X8-H Plus appears to be broken. All it displays is a black screen with a little noise. I've tried it on the latest firmware, and the shipped firmware (whose included recovery performs identically). I've only tried running it from the external SD card if that does in fact make any difference.
Code:➜ 0403-0201 md5sum recovery.img e86ce29066af36c9c337386e8da11174 recovery.img
I've been a Ruby developer for a few years, and after reading about building TWRP, and I'm tempted to give it a go myself. I see that you can in fact enable an option to backup the internal SD card, which although you've discouraged, would suit my cloning purposes nicely =P Basically, boot with an SD card which is blank aside from the TWRP recovery image, use TWRP to backup all other partitions to the SD card, then just move the SD card to the next device and restore to get an exact clone.
Also, you've given instructions to flash a recovery from the terminal, but I was wondering how one might actually backup the current recovery from there beforehand.
Code:dd if=path/to/recovery.img of=/dev/block/recovery
Code:130|root@NEO-X8H-PLUS:/ # dd if=/dev/block/recovery of=/storage/sdcard0/recovery-dd-read-stock-latest.img 65536+0 records in 65536+0 records out 33554432 bytes transferred in 3.579 secs (9375365 bytes/sec) root@NEO-X8H-PLUS:/ # ll /storage/sdcard0/recovery-dd-read-stock-latest.img -rw-rw---- root sdcard_r 33554432 2015-03-02 15:09 recovery-dd-read-stock-latest.img

Here's the latest flashable firmware. There is a very small OTA to install once this is flashed.
http://minix.com.hk/firmware/X8_X8PLUS_X8H_003FW.rar
Minix forum mirror: http://www.minixforum.com/downloads/..._X8H_003FW.rar
Provided MD5: DDA77A0AAB8E907890BF45A3F17636F2
I don't know why the MD5 is wrong... but WinRAR has built-in rar verification, and extraction using WinRAR or file-roller works fine.

Here's the TWRP last_log, and partition info using instructions from: https://github.com/ameer1234567890/O...tition-Layouts
Edit: This is from my up-to-date device, if that makes any differenceAttached Files

The way you posted will work to flash the image to the partition, remember to 'sync' after.
The opposite gives a image with different size because it dumps the entire recovery partition space.
I didn't discourage or omitted the possibility to backup the Internal SD, read Android folder, from TWRP it simply was not possible. On the latest image(s) is working.
Unfortunately this happens a lot (on AMLogic), changes between FW versions aren't compatible.
Try this image.

Edit: For clarification, it shows the initial MINIX screen of the bootloader (not the MINIX Android boot animation) for a few seconds, goes blank briefly, shows the bootloader again, goes blank, etc.
