Ubports Recovery unintended system.img flashing
- 
 @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
- 
 @advocatux ./local/share does not exist 
- 
 @karstong how are you trying to find it? 
- 
 @advocatux With "ls -la" I get the following screen print: ~ # ls -la

- 
 @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 where are you running that command? 
- 
 @advocatux In adb shell from my ubuntu desktop maschine with the phone connected via an USB cable. 
- 
 @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 hope too that I did not lose all my data. Anyway, thanks for your help!!! 
- 
 @karstong you're welcome and I hope all your data is still in your device, somewhere! 
- 
 @karstong is it possible to flash TWRP ,see what you can find, and then start again 
- 
 @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! 
- 
 @marathon2422 Do you mean to install TWRP in fastboot? 
- 
 @karstong congratulations!!
