Please try with just giving the path from where you want to pull the files I just got the files from sdcard like  adb pull sdcard   do NOT give   like to broaden the search or to filter out  ex  adb pull sdcard   txt --  this is invalid   just give adb pull sdcard

If you want to pull a directory with restricted access from a rooted device you need to restart adb as root  type adb root before pull  Otherwise you ll get an error saying remote object   data data xxx example app  does not exist
