Now i have a new install and i would like to transfer files from the home directory of the dd image to a phone, but there are no /home/nemo directory in dd image when mounted.

How to properly mount this dd image to access personal files from /home/nemo directory? Please help!
Copy the dd image (lets name it backup.img in the example) to a linux maschine, mount the dd image and then kust copy the files from the mounted location (backup in example)

Code:
mkdir /backup
mount -o loop backup.img /backup
You should now find all the files from sailfish partition in /backup folder. Including home/nemo and you can just copy from there.

You should also be able to mount the image on-device, allthough more safe to work with a copy, on the linux box.
