- Found yourself in a situation where you need to quickly pull everything off your phone's storage and onto your PC? Well, this is exactly what you're looking for.
All you need is ADB (Download below) and your phone to have Developer Options enabled, and USB Debugging inside of that.
Download ADB: developer.android.com/studio/...
How USB Debugging is usually enabled:
- Open Settings, and select “About”.
- Tap on “Build number” seven times.
- Go back, and select “Developer options”.
- Scroll down, and check the “Android debugging” or “USB debugging” entry under “Debugging”.

Everything in this video is my personal opinion and experience, and should not be considered professional advice. Always do your own research and make sure what you're doing is safe.
I tried 4-5 pages and a few videos, almost everybody assume that you know how to use the tool, this one was the comprehensive video which enabled me start from scratch and finish the job, thanks for sharing..
Thanks for this , I've been trying to copy a 67.3 Gb DCIM folder from my Android phone to my PC. Windows explorer constantly fails with errors and never gets to 100%. this worked first time and was heaps faster.
my guy! this is so underrated video! SO MUCH MALWARE AND PAID SOFTWARES I HAVE ENCOUNTERED! U ARE A LIFE SAVER! lots of love! thank you!
How can you restore the data tho? Just paste and overwrite?
Thank you so much. I had like 30 tabs open on stackoverflow, reddit, and many forums and other pages and this was the only one that got to the point. I did it on Linux. I enabled debugging on the phone, then I just did "sudo apt install adb" and followed your instructions.
skill issue
Thanks , my friend.
I've been searching for about 2 days
Dude THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is exactly what I wanted to do!
Incredibly helpful and straightforward. This is guaranteed the fastest method of getting files from ur phone to a computer. I would like to notify everyone tho that in selecting specific folders like he did in the error part, *the back slash did not work* and what did work was using **forward slashes** for the folders. Also another tip is if CMD is *stuck* in "building file list" and you are not sure if it is copying files, check the destination folder first before you cancel (speaking from exp). CHEERS!
@prins5793 this is my usual path name. what changes should I give?

I followed the procedures very carefully, and I noticed something else: There is a file in the (ls) list called 'storage', and in that file, in many cases, you get _both_ the folders from your device's internal (shared) storage _and_ from your microSD card.
But there is a problem...
I had no problem using 'adb pull storage' on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite and AGPTek T06S MP4 player; but with my T-Mobile REVVLRY (same as the Motorola Moto G7 Play), Platform Tools can't extract the folders from the devices internal storage, whether I run 'adb pull sdcard' (folders from internal storage) or 'adb pull storage'. Only the folders from my microSD card are extracted.
As it turns out, the only way I can grab the folders from my internal storage is to remove the microSD card and disengage access to the card (i.e., stop the device from searching for the card). Either that, or I format the card to be accessible by any device; in which case, when I perform 'adb pull storage', files from both my internal storage and microSD card will be extracted.
What to do if I`m not able to enable USB debugging because my Phone is stuck in a bootloop?
HEY! Can it pull a phone's ROM and apps and back them up? I have noticed that, even though my phone (with barely anything installed) has 6GB used, the backup methods I have tried recently have pulled no more than 700MB, most of which comprise of photos and Web pages I have stored on the phone. No apps, no system files.
Somhow i was only able to copy the files to my C: drive. Other Drives in my System don´t work.
Thanks buddy . Tremendous job , well done 👌🏻👌🏻.
Thanks, this is really helpful. Cheers.
how to copy folders that have spaced in between ?
adb pull sdcard/new folder .....gives error
Stupendous! This a so much underrated video!
Brilliant. So tired of videos showing me how to open file explorer and drag files over. I knew there had to be a better way.
Okay how to get the apk and data back to the same phone
very helpful and no third party apps , thanks

This is an excellent guide. Thank you so much. I don't know why it was so difficult finding this info via a Google search.
Sir, you are a master

How to pull app+data?
Phone is recognized but🙏 I am getting error closed. Any solution?
Thank You Very Much
will the backup files work if copied again to a phone that was restored to factory settings? I'm looking forward to this
+1
yes, except for any files that are encrypted or directories that are read/write protected.
heres my dilemma: samsung s7 tried to find deleted video by rooting first, that didn't work properly had to do a factory reset to get phone working again ( bad usb port on the phone caused that issue). So will that deleted video still be on the phone memory somewhere if I follow above procedure? ( s7 I didn't have any backup and no deleted files restore on that phone)
Any further writing to the phone after you deleted the file will make it less likely to recover. Doing a factory reset afterwards probably overwrote the file you're trying to look for.
Adb pull sdcard says sdcard not a file or directory
My device won't pop up
Jesus christ, it was helpful. Thanks a lot for saving my day
Thank you, works great~!
does it work in fastboot ? my phone is stuck in fastboot ie bricked
Saaaaame. Did you fix it?
thanks a lot
ADB seems to been stopped on android 13, it's not pulling my SD card help!!!!!!!!
My mobile is struck in bootloop but I can enter into recovery mode. It is unrooted so is there any way to copy all the internal files??
Open your recovery and connect usb to pc and copy your data
How? With some command line or tool? Or is it supposed to show up in windows explorer? @@FukesTruOp

Can i save data from exploded phone?charger slot was broken when explode.pls i need that data in my phone
Hey.. YT does not permit 100 votes. Lovely tutorial !
"ls: permission denied"..for all..whyyyyyyyyyyy
3 : 00 i got an error adb : error failed to acces 'files' No such file or directory
i fixed it i typed a wrong letter it works normally
Why is it neccesary to backup the sd card like this, if its a model where you can remove the card? Does it get wiped after a hard reset or what?
Does this method copy timestamps of the files and folders as well??
Im wondering the same thing.
@@sideskroll Turns out it doesn't
@@sideskroll but you can preserve timestamp by using
adb pull -a sdcard
The -a option preserves all the file attributes
my device is not listed on adb devices , someone can help me??
go to developer settings and turn on usb debugging first
Check Stack Overflow

after trying to change language with morelocale2 im stuck on bootloader and I dont want to lose any files from my gallery
Thank you, it's worked. However. I cannot find the Folder
"/data/user/0/com.enlightment.voicerecorder/files/Records"
in the list of directory in Command Prompt. Would you pls advise?
Maybe use your name as the “user” area? I’d recommend to ctrl + R and find the folder
the /data directory is read-protected. You can only read/copy if your phone is rooted.
I got a error message and it didn't pull any files from my phone, don't know why.
call the police
OPEN THE NOOR
/system/bin/sh: cd: /sdcard/sdcard: No such file or directory
???
cd /sdcard is enough
adb shell cd /sdcard
@@YuvrajRaghuvanshiS anyway doesnt works. No such file or directory
@@themasterocktv82 do 'cd /' and then type 'ls' there must be some folders like storage, sdcard, emulated etc. Go into them, find.
This is OK--only because it works--but I just don't understand why a video is used when a text list would be so much better, easier to copy-past to create a CMD script (since one was not provided) .
Alright man. Nice mic, but dude. I shouldn't have to turn the bass down. I think you put a little too much enhance on the bass.
Just copy and paste in computer
what good is this tutorial if you dont show the steps before you install adb
Bullshit. That's not pulling ALL data off the phone, e.g. app data is stored is /data, not /sdcard.
Exactly. Mine was a note 4 (I still have it, but had to buy a weird, gigantic samsung S21 that is huge just to remain working!) and I can pull the sdcard OUT and put it in my laptop. What I need is in /data and elsewhere, and abd pull simply isn't doing the trick.Anyone with
knowledge, please advise! I don't want to dirty flash a ROM and risk losing my actual real important data in /data and elsewhere (and TiBu is an EPIC failure; what a disappointment! Am I supposed to get a rooted Note 4 and HOPE TiBu can "restore" my phone to "day it died" conditions? Buy a new phone line for a month?).
I want my real data back. (And I haven't had time to think about it.. I'm pretty triggered about this. Sorry.)
Where did you learn about this?
Please, change your microphone 😅
I'm getting many permission denied messages. Such as
fstab.zram1024m:
Init:
Modem_log:
Resetfactory.cfg etc
I did adb pull sdcard, I get pull: building fill list..... Don't see any other messages. Phone is Huawei mate 10.
Update: took about 15mins to start seeing percentage. It stopped @ 32%. Will try again hopefully I get to 100%
