gollark: iOS bad.
gollark: it isANDROID
gollark: No, the screen isn't (very) cracked, it just won't take input (except rarely when it does a bit).
gollark: If I could unlock it to get ADB to work I could do that, but the touchscreen basically never responds to input so I can't.
gollark: Does anyone know a way I can BACKUP™ my PHONE™ without actually being able to interact with the touchscreen at all in any way?
