My iPhone 4 is disabled I went to iTunes they don't have iPhone 4 on there what do I do

Happy with the "How To" & happy with the parts order (Battery / Fixit Kit) had the iPhone 4 apart and back together in about 5 minutes.

Its going to take longer to re-calibrate the new battery "running it down less than to 10%" than it took to physically replace the battery.

Another good experience at iFixit!

I followed this guide and got the job done in ten minutes! Thanks! I got my replacement battery on ebay, it came with toolkit and suction cup. It's worth noting there are larger capacity batteries out there (2680mah) than the original. A pair of cheap reading specs are also helpful to have on hand to see the tiny screws and connections! Anyway, this is a great guide, this job is definitely a straightforward home fix, if you are careful.

@okyere You need your own & legit iPhone. You would know the password. In case you bought it, the seller should to know.

I need to do a hard reset on my iPhone 4 to try to fix some issues I'm having with the firmware, but the home button is broken too. Is there any other way to perform a hard reset, or should I just focus on fixing the home button?
