Iphone Home and Lock buttons quit working?
I replaced my Iphone's battery earlier today, and decided to upgrade my phone to IOS 7 right after. I went through trouble getting it to upgrade, getting stuck in a "restore your iphone" loop with iTunes, so I looked up the solution to that.
The solution was to put the iPhone into DFU mode, which requires you hold down both the home and lock buttons.
- The fact I was able to perform this successfully proves the buttons suffered no damage from the battery replacement, so please no suggestions about that. -
However, immediately after installing IOS 7, both the Home and lock buttons stopped working. I can no longer turn off the phone, go to the home screen, put the phone asleep, or if it is already asleep I can't turn it on.
Both the volume controls and the vibration buttons work fine.
If anyone knows a way to fix this, I would be grateful for your assistance.
I don't think the buttons were damaged physically. It seems to me that the broken buttons were a software failure, I would speak to Apple about this problem. If you had purchased a warranty, then I would talk to the company that you purchased it from. Perhaps, you put in the battery incorrectly. Maybe the battery wasn't supported by Apple. I can't say man, I've never heard of this happening before. I think it's time to buy a new phone.
I know this. When i jailbreaked my ipad it happened to me also. Nothing will work except volume key. I downloaded a fu***n tweak and it got stuck. Follow this.
Put the phone on charging. Open you laptop and go to itunes. Back up your iphone. Then click on the restore button. Leave it till it gets restored. Open it up and you will see it works perfectly fine. Do it right now. I hope you know the restoring process.
Hope it helps

- My Iphone quit working out of the blue? I was charging my Iphone 5s, left it on the counter, went outside to do something, came back in a minute later and my phone is completely dead. It won't light up, charge, ect. I considered the fact that it may have just been frozen but it's been like this for awhile now… I have no idea what's going on… It just stopped working for absolutely NO reason! What happened? It has a cracked screen thats been like that for a few weeks, but other than that it has no other damages.
