I want to use 'abd pull' to transfer some folders from my android phone to my Computer. I've done a lot of research online but there isn't much information about how to properly use this command.
I want to transfer entire folders(with their contents) and not just specific files. is that possible ?
If it is, I am not super familiar with the android data structures. How do I specify the location, more specifically where do I start ? (for example: \system\xx or maybe \storage\xx I really don't know how to format this) I am looking for folders and files in the Internal Storage
Thank you all !
All guides on google or youtube show how to transfer specific files and only do so from sd cards. I want to transfer entire folders from the internal storage
Edit: Thanks for all the comments, I find no definite answer so I gave trial and error a go. adb pull worked fine but an entire new problem came up.
yes I can answer your first question I want to transfer entire folders(with their contents) and not just specific files. is that possible ? Ans: Make sure to open CMD where you have downloaded your Android Platform Tools. go to your android device and make sure you enable developer options and enable debugging mode and required settings to wirelessly transfer data through adb.
if you need help refer this article https://www.thecustomdroid.com/adb-push-pull-commands/
After you have successfully connected to your port. You can use the below command
Adb pull /storage/ (to your designated folder on your PC) -- follow this if you want to pull data from internal storage. Adb pull /sdcard/ (to your designated folder on your PC) -- follow this if you want to pull data from SD-card.
Example- C:\Users\Downloads\platform-tools_r34.0.1-windows\platform-tools>adb pull /storage/ C:\User\Downloads\recovery
