Is the screen cracked at the moment?

The screen is intact and it restored and showed up as a new Iphone on itunes, but after trying to connect again it came up with the same message as the start, telling me there was a problem and had to be restored to factory settings.

You'll lose data, that you haven't saved. But you can try the restore, and see if it brings everything back. After that I would try a known good, or new probably from here, to test if that's the problem
