How do i put my iphone 6 (ios 9.3.3) into dfu mode without the lock button?

I

iMore Question

so my iphone 6 is currently stuck in a bootloop from reseting from settings with a jailbreak (obviously i didnt know about this) anyway i know i have to put it into dfu mode but my lock button is broken. my computer wont detect my phone as anything but a camera in the state its in so reiboot and similar programs arent able to detect it. i was wondering if there was a way to stimulate the flex cable from inside the phone to do a lock press? i have the necissary tools to do so. if anyone has any alternate suggestions or knows if this is even possible it would be much appreciated, thanks.

You will need be able to press both the power and home button to put the device in DFU mode.
