I recently brought a 3G iPhone from someone from the market. Not barred or blacklisted etc. took it home, everything works on it. Holds charge etc. takes me to apple logo screen and sticks there. Tried to dfu mode it. The phone has a crack near the home button.

I thought if the charge port works then the home button will work? Computer doesn't recognise it.

I was thinking to buy a iPhone. 3G complete back housing on eBay and get the complete. 3G mid frame aswell... Thought this may fix the problem.. Any one help me?
 
I'm thinking that you have not successfully put in dfu mode. i would try again.
