If you can transfer one file successfully over your cable now, can you use tar, cpio, or pax to create a single archive file containing everything you want to transfer and use the archive files to transfer your data back and forth?
What command(s) do you use to successfully transfer a file over your cable?
Can you mount the Android phone's filesystem (read-only obviously) from Solaris using your cable? That would allow you to rsync from the phone to Solaris.
Does your phone have multiple filesystems mounted, or is everything in the root filesystem? If it has multiple filesystems and you can put the files you want to sync on a filesystem that your phone doesn't need to write to while files are being synced, you could unmount that filesystem on your phone, remount it read-only, and then mount it read-write on Solaris to rsync back to your phone. (Just don't forget to unmount the Adroid filesystem from Solaris before you unmount it again on your phone and remount it read-write on your phone.)
Does your phone's OS include support for an NFS server? If so, can you export an NFS filesystem from your phone through your cable or by WiFi and mount that NFS filesystem on Solaris so you can rsync both ways?
Does you phone's OS include support for mounting NFS filesystems from a remote NFS server? If so export an NFS filesystem from your Solaris system and mount it on your phone...
If you can't cross-mount filesystems, are ftp, rcp, or even uucp possible?

umount
UMOUNT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual UMOUNT(8)
NAME
umount -- unmount filesystems
SYNOPSIS
umount [-fv] special | node
umount -a | -A [-fv] [-h host] [-t type]
DESCRIPTION
The umount command calls the unmount(2) system call to remove a special device or the remote node (rhost:path) from the filesystem tree at
the point node. If either special or node are not provided, the appropriate information is taken from the fstab(5) file.
The options are as follows:
-a All the filesystems described in fstab(5) are unmounted.
-A All the currently mounted filesystems except the root are unmounted.
-f The filesystem is forcibly unmounted. Active special devices continue to work, but all other files return errors if further accesses
are attempted. The root filesystem cannot be forcibly unmounted.
-h host
Only filesystems mounted from the specified host will be unmounted. This option is implies the -A option and, unless otherwise spec-
ified with the -t option, will only unmount NFS filesystems.
-t type
Is used to indicate the actions should only be taken on filesystems of the specified type. More than one type may be specified in a
comma separated list. The list of filesystem types can be prefixed with ``no'' to specify the filesystem types for which action
should not be taken. For example, the umount command:
umount -a -t nfs,hfs
umounts all filesystems of the type NFS and HFS.
-v Verbose, additional information is printed out as each filesystem is unmounted.
FILES
/etc/fstab filesystem table
