Introdução
The iPhone 8 Plus home “button” is actually a solid-state sensor, which also includes Touch ID (fingerprint recognition) capability.
Most replacement home buttons won’t work, so check carefully before starting your repair. Your iPhone’s original home button is uniquely paired to the logic board at the factory—and without Apple’s proprietary calibration process, even a genuine replacement home button from another iPhone won’t work. To fix a broken home button, you should install a specially-made, universal-style home button. Note that these replacements only work as a button; Touch ID will not function.
If you are only replacing a broken screen, you can use this guide to carefully remove and transfer your working original home button to a new screen, preserving all functions, including Touch ID.
During this procedure, to avoid accidentally straining or tearing the display cables, it's best to completely detach the display assembly before beginning repairs on the home/Touch ID sensor. But if you are comfortable doing so, you may skip the display assembly section of this guide and go straight to the home/Touch ID sensor section.

dove le trovo?
Every time I have tried to transfer the home button from the broken screen to the replacement LCD - the home button has not worked. No tears in the cable. The connector is attached. Screw isn’t too tight. What could I be missing?
ATTENTION: Don’t screw in that one screw over the home button too much, or the button breaks! I just found one proper explanation for it in this YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDVnp90a...). Basically, that one screw that goes over the Home button should not be tightened too much, so that the metal plate doesn't bend (which it did for me).
This was truely helpful.
Anybody have the issue where the button works when the phone is in 2 pieces, but when you assemble the screen onto the phone body, the button no longer responds after a restart??
Power on phone while in 2 pieces -> home button is working
Attach screen to phone body -> home button is still working
Restart phone with phone assembled -> home button not responding
