IPhone setup

I've deleted all the "other" data, and my iPhone requests a startup. However, when it's successfully done, I need to press the home button, which is already broken. How can I manage to use my get past this step and use my phone, or do I really need to fix the home button?

Unable to set up iPhone - no home button I have an iPhone 6s that has been factory reset, then set up using a backup. Once reset, the phone displays a message saying 'press home to open' which I can't do as the phone's home button does not work. I do not have any spare buttons to replace it with. Is there a way to set the phone up without it? Thanks is advance

My new I phone 12 is stuck in a failed “retrieving configuration” loop when I transferred data from my 11 to the new 12. the only thing I can do with the 12 is reboot it then it tells me phone was updated when I press continue button it starts to retrieve configuration but fails that’s all I can do I can access menu or go back is there a way to use hard buttons to fully factory reset? My old 11 still has the back up and the cloud also has it.

You really need to get the home button fixed on your iPhone 5s.
