I have a PIN set w/device encryption (corporate security policies enforced via the Google App). Unfortunately I also cracked my screen and thus killed my digitizer, so no soft buttons work. With that said, the power and volume keys work fine. Is there a way for me to get my phone booted and unlocked so I can use Android File Transfer, Carbon, etc, to back up my data before sending it in to the factor for repairs?
