Dump App data
In order to completely download the data of an application you can:
# From a root console
chmod 777 /data/data/com.package
cp -r /data/data/com.package /sdcard Note: Using ADB attacker cannot obtain data directly by using command " adb pull /data/data/com.package". He is compulsorily required to move data to Internal storage and then he can pull that data.
adb pull "/sdcard/com.package"
