How to back-up complete phone memory to PC (maybe) [duplicate]
asked 2014-11-08 20:36:02 +0300
I'm quite sure there is a more orthodox solution (if any, feel free to detail it here) however this is how I prepared a factory reset in order to restore my stuff quickly afterwards. I installed Ranjith Naidu's "filetransfer" from Google playstore, then I used my FTP utility (Filezilla) to make a full back-up of the phone memory to the PC (via wifi connection). Of course, it's an Android app. However, the "Copy to Folder" field accepts "/" so I can access root from the PC.
The link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ranjith.naidu.filetransfer.gui
Currently testing, stay tuned for more.
Anyway, I didn't find so far a 'normal' and native procedure to do so through the USB connection.
You have at least one native application for a FTP server on Openrepos : FTP Server

Simply enable SSH (see "Developer tools" in "Settings") then connect to your phone using "sftp". It will give you access to every file on the device. I use FileZilla to transfer files to and from my Jolla mobile via sftp every day. :)
