"Hi,

I just had the same problem when replacing myself the screen of my iphone 6.

Touch ID worked well but not the Home button

I found out that the home button has, at it center, a small black round connector that you must absolutely align with the same shaped small metal connector of the metal plate that you place above the home button.

If those two aren't well aligned, it won't work.

I hope my explaination was clear"

"Hi,

I got the exact same issue and read several blogs with no result. Then i switched backed to my old display assembly with still the same home button. It was working fine again. The problem was the display assembly from iFixit. I have now requested an new one. Tried to switch between old and new display several times with same result."

NEVER change the Touch ID on iphone 6 because if you restore the phone without the original Touch ID you will put get error code 53.

"Most likely they damaged the home button receiver which sometimes damages either Touch ID or back/home button function...

ive had that problem this the most likely reason!"

"1) first check all connector, reconnect all and check

2)if still not working,change flex cable,check through hard restart

3)if still not,just replace flex cable and update your iPhone through OTA update(go to setting and software update)(don't use offline firmware or restore with new version.i did same thing and result was 0,After that i used OTA update in 2 iPhone 6 and got success)"
