Need Help! iPhone 3g Home Button Not Working Can't Restore..

[gspeedy]

Was selling me old 3g iPhone (with broken home button)
I reset the iPhone 3g so it would remove all my info.
An was hoping it would go back to like new.

But now its stuck on the apple icon screen.

So am thinking i need to restore with iTunes.
But i can't get in to dfu mode as the home button is not working.

Is the any software that will get the phone in to DFU mode?

Home Button not working...

If you had a 3GS or higher I would of recommended you build a DFU ipsw(redsn0w) and just restore with it leaving your iPhone in DFU mode...not sure if it will work a 3G...
