Reboot loop if I don’t have headphones plugged in

I had screen / digitizer replaced at shop. Tech could not get iPhone 7 out of boot loop. I took home and restored on iTunes and went to latest backup.

Backstory: the home button cable is severed / being used as dummy button. I have the virtual button on.

I can only make calls or take pictures with headphones plugged in. If there are not plugged in and I make a call, it goes to a reboot. Upon reboot says that button is not functional. Do I need to have a home button that is intact even tho it will not function ?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

If on iOS 11, you need an original button plugged in at least, iPhone 7 and above tend to freak out on iOS 11 if something like the home button isn’t detected.

I do have an original button installed...The problem is that the ribbon cable is severed. I didnt buy and install anew button since it would be non functional anyway.
