Hello,

I have on my G1 root access and want to copy a file (I donīt know the name of it) from thefilesystem to my SD Card. I do know the name from the folder, but not from the file himself.
Does anyone know that works? Maybe with the console!?

I think I've got a similar question so I will add it to this one. I'd like to copy a OI notepad file to my desktop. Mounting only results in mounting the SD card, but the files are stored somewhere in the filesystem.

So the question is how to mount the phone, instead of only the sd card. I can run as root and I've got 1.41 ADP1.1 installed.
I would like to install 1.5, but want to backup some files first.

Found the answer myself... I have made a back-up first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459830 and searched for the files in the created tar files by the nandroid script.
