Home button unresponsive AND apple logo/spinning wheel loop

[mase127]

So, after a particularly horrific incident with the Apple store, they managed to break by home button and de-unlock my iphone. Upon trying to get it re-unlocked via spirit, cydia crashed, and my iphone got stuck in that apple logo/ spinning wheel thingy.

Now, I know to get it out of this loop, i have to wait for the screen to flash, and put the phone in dfu mode, HOWEVER, to put the phone in dfu mode, i'll have to use the home button, which doesnt work.

Any solutions?

1. Why didn't Apple replace your phone after they broke it?
2. Why did you try to jailbreak a phone knowing that the only way to fix it is not a viable option?
