Hi everyone. My Pixel 8 has succumbed to the green screen + pink line defect so I need to send it in for repair. I am having difficulties backing up the phone without the full use of the screen, so I'm asking for advice on that and on doing a factory reset by reverting to stock AOSP.
I have adb and scrcpy access, so I've been able to pull individual files and app backups, but I would like to take the GOS system backup. However, the backup screen isn't mirrored through scrcpy. Is there a way around this? Will I run into similar roadblocks in the factory reset process?
Aside: I think this is a good use case for the Repair Mode feature that has been requested in the past, as doing backups (whether cherry picking or through the system), reverting to stock AOSP, re-installing GOS, and restoring from backups – and half of that without use of the screen – is enough of a hassle as to potentially dissuade users from doing any of it in the first place and simply sending their devices in unlocked.
