Root Can I move files from sdcard to computer using adb?

My phone is stuck in a bootloop, I tried flashing new roms, wiping everything, even doing a nand restore, still stuck. I want to wipe my sdcard too but I don't want to lose anything, is there any commands that allow me to push everything from my sdcard to my computer?

In Amon_RA's custom recovery, you can select the USB toggle to allow your computer to see / mount your /sdcard as a disk drive. I think its on the main screen of recovery. You should be able to pull your files this way (much easier than using "adb pull" from your PC).

some basic mount commands and move commands:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /system/app (command to move you into whatever directory you want /SDCARD )

ls (shows list of files in current director)


adb pull yourapp.apk C:\ (pulls from current CD/blah/blah working directory to c:\, or move it to /system/app)

adb shell

rm /data/app/yourapp.apk (removes file)

exit (leave shell)

adb push yourapp.apk /system/app (pushes file back from working directory to system app directory)

adb reboot (reboots phone)

really depends what your trying to do, but above is basically the ideas to moving things around from command window
