You seriously saved my life!!!
I completely smashed the screen of my IPHONE 6 PLUS. However it still worked and I was still receiving texts, calls etc but I wasn't able to enter my passcode to backup my phone. I usually do it monthly manually because I didn't want to fork over icloud fees.. but I officially now think the $3 bucks a month is worth avoiding this headache.... ANYWAYS. I came across you suggestion but I thought it was a long shot, so I tried to access info with several different data recovery but none could get past the lock AND hitting trust computer. I also tried voice over with Siri but she split on me too.
So I took your suggestion to the "Genuis" bar at the apple store to see if they had that keyboard I could use to unlock my phone. They had no idea what I was talking about and I even showed them the thread and they still looked at me like I was crazy and said "you can try it but we don't think it will work".
So I believed in you man, I ordered this:

And followed your instructions to the letter, even without Siri working, it still worked! Then to bypass the "TRUST THIS COMPUTER" Issue I imported my photos using image capture (because it was the only application that didn't ask me to "TAP TRUST" just "UNLOCK" once I imported, I could now get into itunes and FINALLY BACK UP MY PHONE!!
Moral of the story, sometimes the long shot is the best one and $40 bux to fix this issue is far better than all the other options I ran into with data recovery and I now pay $3 bux a month to back up to automatically to icloud to avoid this future nightmare!
So thank you very much sir!!! 🙂
