For this guide I am demonstrating on a Samsung Galaxy S5 which had the fingerprint reader cable for the home button torn.
-
The home button 'press' is still functional with the underlying button (see second photo), but this guide restores your fingerprint scanner.
-
-
-
Make sure there isn't anything still connected in this socket.
-
-
-
Scrape the remaining adhesive from the edges of the midframe using a plastic pry tool.

My parts supplier sent me an original Samsung (used) home button, however purchasing a new one I recommend the following links:
-
-
-
Attach the home button to the screen assembly. In this guide I am also installing a new screen assembly.
-
-
-
Prepare your screen assembly by removing adhesive film. If you're not replacing the screen then you can skip this step.
-
-
-
Connect the display cable.
-
Carefully line up the home button cable so that it comes through to the other side.
-
-
-
Plug the home button cable into the socket.
-
Stick the screen assembly back down to the rest of the phone.
-
-
-
Reinstall the battery.
-
Remember to place the plastic panel back on the phone.

It should already be attached to the LCD, if not then you can purchase the adhesive and attach it to the LCD yourself
I would like to know whether there is a pin-compatible home button to replace the original Galaxy S5 home button to _physically_ get rid of the fingerprint reader unit and solely keep it as a simple and dumb home button.
Thanks in advance.
