Workaround for a broken Home button on iPhone or any iOS devices

Assistive Touch:
I use to test a lot on my iPhone.
Recently, I found that couple of my friends have unusable devices like iPods, iPads and iPhones.
There is a workaround for this. Although it will work only upwards of 5.0.

Firstly if your device is lower than 5.0, upgrade your device to 5.0/5.0.1 after taking a backup of the device.

Connect your device to iTunes and when it prompts for upgrade, Press ok.
It might take a couple of hours.

It can be quick, if you have the relevant ipsw file.
If you have one, From iTunes, just press shift + restore(for windows) or options + restore (for mac) and browse the ipsw file and upgrade your device.


Once it is done, from the home screen, go to Settings->General->Accessibility->Assistive Touch->ON
Viola!, there is a soft home button displayed on the home screen, which can be moved around and positioned as you wish!
