          @karstong can you access adb in your phone? If the answer is yes, copy the data you want to save, and try to install UBports again.

            @advocatux Yes, I see them in adb. Do you know if I only need to copy the "data" folder in order to save all data such as sms, dekko2 settings, signal data, photos...

              @karstong I prefer to save the whole /home because is easier to cherry-pick whatever I need later to reinstall it.

              You should save at least .local/share/evolution/ and the content in the main folders (Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and Videos) but, again, is better to save /home than need something later that is already lost.

              Edit to add .local/share/history-service/history.sqlite to save the sms

                @advocatux There actually is no home directory. What I see is the following:

                ~ # ls
                cache init.rc
                charger init.wcnss.wifi.sh
                data init_bt.sh
                default.prop mnt
                dev proc
                etc res
                file_contexts root
                fstab.qcom sbin
                init sdcard
                init.class_main.sh sideload
                init.mdm.sh storage
                init.qcom.class_core.sh sys
                init.qcom.early_boot.sh system
                init.qcom.factory.sh tmp
                init.qcom.modem_links.sh twrp.fstab
                init.qcom.ssr.sh ueventd.qcom.rc
                init.qcom.syspart_fixup.sh ueventd.rc
                init.qcom.usb.sh

                The documents, downloads etc. is in data/user-data/phablet...

                I do not find: .local/share/evolution

                    @karstong the /home for "your" user is /home/phablet/

                    To list the hidden files (those starting with a dot) too you need the command ls -la or if you're using the filemanager, unlock it, and click "show hidden files".

                      @karstong you can delete that file (SingletonSocket) and try again.

                        @advocatux I don't find this file. Maybe it is hidden. Obviously I can copy any file but not directories. Do you have an idea?

                          @karstong do you have UTmedia installed? then is probably in .local/share/utmedia.nfsprodriver/UTmedia/SingletonSocket

                                  @karstong it seems you're running the commands as root (I don't know why).

                                  To list the content of "your" user's home the command is ls -la /home/phablet/

                                    @advocatux This command brings:

                                    ~ # ls -la /home/phablet/
                                    ls: /home/phablet/: No such file or directory
                                    ~ #

                                          @karstong if you exit adb shell, back to your terminal in Ubuntu, and type adb pull /home/phablet/ /home/your_user/directory_you_want_to_save_to/ What happens?

                                          Obviously change that parameters for yours.

                                            @advocatux It gives me the same error:

                                            ~$ adb pull /home/phablet/ /home/huelguat/test
                                            remote object '/home/phablet/' does not exist

                                              @karstong I hope you're doing something wrong because if really "/home/phablet/" doesn't exists, you have lost all the data in that device.

                                              I'm assuming you're running adb properly, so I'm out of ideas for now.
