Hi, I don't think adb backup will work, but you can simply create a tarball of ~phablet/ on the phone, and then copy that file over to your PC. You will need to re-install any non-default applications or scopes after re-flashing the phone if with --wipe or --bootstrap options, but can just untar all the data back to ~phablet/ after the flash.
On the phone: #: cd /home #: tar -cjvf /tmp/phablet-backup.tar.bz2 phablet/ On your PC: adb pull /tmp/phablet-backup.tar.bz2 . Then you can push it back onto the phone after flashing, and use tar -xjvf inside /home/ to recreate the files. Reboot and you should have everything back the way it was (minus needing to re-install any extra apps or scopes).
