How to put an iphone into recovery mode with a broken home button?

My friends phone is on the fritz, he has verizon so if all else fails we'll take it there.
He recently got his screen fixed and it told him that his iphone was disabled and to connect it to Itunes, so we did that and sure enough it asked us to put in a passcode to unlock the phone, which we couldnt do because the phone was disabled, so we figured we'd try to put it into recovery mode but then his home button stopped working… Help?

That can't be done, you need a working home button in order to enter DFU mode.
