        @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:

                                      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.
