After that, your iPhone will reboot and be directed to "Apps & Data" screen, while you can select set it as new or restore from iTunes/iCloud backup or move data from Android. Having a home button helps us go back to the home screen quickly, easily close apps, and use Apple Pay. So, when it stops working, this can cause a lot of problems.
Touch ID worked, but the button was unresponsive. Removing the screw from the back of the button was not the solution. I went through the DFU, and what it gave me was a “virtual” HB that appears on my screen as a ghost button. My touch id opens the home screen and when I want to return to it from an app, all I do is touch the virtual button.

So, when they stop working, it’s a natural source of frustration. Cleaning your home screen button should be the first thing you try. All you need to do is grab a microfiber cloth and wipe the button until it looks clean. Once you have confirmed the model of your iPhone device then just go ahead and click on the "Repair" button to start downloading the firmware for you. Restore your iPhone device in recovery mode or in DFU mode. After that, the default app that you opened will be closed.
Here are some answers provide you in this article. I recommend getting a JC or YF type button from injured gadgets, ifixit or mobile sentrix. Sure you can find them on ebay and aliexpress, but don't count on getting any kind of post sales or post installation support from there. Best way is to swap the back plate and the button. No way to know, the button could be bad, the connection to the system board could be bad.

Sometimes, some settings or apps that may conflict with your current operations, which may lead to Home button not responding or working. Resetting your iPhone to factory settings, or restoreing your iPhone to original backup may remove this trouble. Whether your iPhone Home button is physical damage or software error, you should restart your iPhone firstly. Only you restart your iPhone, you can enter the home screen on your iPhone to do the following operations.
On the other hand, it could also be caused by the home button's extension flex cable running through the back of the lcd, and/or a damaged camera/speaker flex cable on top. This is a repost, but we had this same issue happen today. We had fixed about i7 and 7 plus phones to date with no issues, but on this one the home button stopped responding .
iPhone Home Button Not Working After Screen Replacement
Another helpful thing could be to take the time to turn assistive touch on. This will allow you to rely on a software version of the home button instead of having to worry about the physical home button. You might not find this to be a perfect solution, but it will allow you to get around the issue of having a home button that doesn’t work right. Turning on assistive touch is easy and it’s a good option for most people who don’t want to go to great lengths to get their physical home button fixed. I'm going to have to agree with the quality of screen as the culprit in this situation. Honestly it was most likely the screen you used.
I already open 4 iphone 7 and after open the phone using a heat gun the home button still works fine before unplug anything so the heat won't damage the home button. It’s possible that resetting the iPhone could help to solve your home button woes. Take the time to back up your phone first and then reboot your phone in DFU mode. You can then complete a full restore on your phone to see if it alleviates your problem.
Exposing your device to large volumes of water can cause the button to stop functioning; likewise, if you don’t keep your software up to date. Your iPhone home screen button not working could be one of several issues. Sometimes, it stops responding because the sensor needs cleaning.
Go to your settings and then go to the “general” tab. From there, you simply need to go to “accessibility” and click on assistive touch to turn it on. I once sold an iPhone that was working fine until I updated it to the then latest iOS release. That is in my opinion without seeing the phone the root cause of the problem.
The home button will still work but the Touch ID will get disabled because of this and there will be no solution for it. I am very careful now when removing the touch ID on this location. I sometimes remove the metal back plate with the home button still attached to the flex cable. My repair shop works on iPhone 7 and 7 plus' all the time, and out of the many hundreds that we've repaired, have had maybe 2 or 3 with bad home buttons or home buttons that stopped functioning. There is a very careful method to going about replacing the screens on these phones, whether with OEM/refurbished displays or aftermarket screens.
I've used original refurbished with every repair and never had one issue so far. This may not fix all of them, but it worked for me. The issue is the after market home buttons cannot work for the i7, at least for me I tried a couple of them and nothing.
