        @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.

                                              @advocatux I finally managed to find .local etc. -> is is in the data/user-data folder. Then I deleted the file which stopped the pull process. Now, I am copying all my data to my desktop computer. Yeah!
