After a little testing, it seems to work otherwise OK, but problem is that doing this way will terminate ongoing data transfer. I guess it might be possible to make phone wait until data transfer is complete, but I have no idea how. It might also be impossible to do this without opensh...

I added those sleeps, because it seemed to cause connection to freeze sometimes, if two other command were executed without waiting for a while. Not really sure if they are needed.

Please note, that reliability of this trick is far from certain! I've only tested it on my N9 for about a week.
