Hello, I've replaced the screen on my iPhone 4 today and it seems to work, but since it's on a tethered jailbreak I can't get it past the apple logo because the home button isn't working.

I removed the flex from my old home button and put it on the new one but the silver drum came off and I used a little super glue to put it back on. Do you think that's what did it or do you think it's the flex cable?

The flex cable with the little clamp that holds it in pushed down will come out even if clamped down so I'm thinking the flex may be a little worn.

Also when I cut the phone and I press on the screen or press the home button it's like dark spots that come up on the LCD? Area of concern?

Even I have the same problem.I m searching for the solution yet.
 
I've solved it. I replaced the flex on the home button and here I am typing this post.
