You can use the assertive touch control under the accessibility setting. It will give you an on-screen home button. Hope this help

at least for my iPhone 4, there is no warranty seal anywhere outside or inside of the phone... so it's fine

Oops sorry about that, so draining or removing of battery is the only way
