Restoring Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant) back to factory settings with no screen

I have a Galaxy S (Vibrant) and my screen is completely cracked and I can't see or use it at all. I wanted to know how I could restore it back to factory settings so I can send it in to get a new one... I've heard rooting voids your warranty but I cant use the screen to restore it through the phone. Please help
Assuming the phone is still actually functional, you can ODIN it...you should only need the hardware buttons (and proper timing) for that.
If you can't see it, how is anyone else going to see it and know that it is rooted?

Highly dobut that. I'm sure it will not be torn to pieces by scrupulous workers trying to debug the fact if the phone rooted or not.

The most important button in SGS2

I guess I overestimated how important Home button is in SGS2. I actually think now it was the biggest mistake of Samsung to make a physical button (isn't it also made Apple mad since it looks like a button from Iphone and that is why they are dragging them in courts). Anyway my Home button died unexpectedly. First I decided that I will survive but turns out that without this button my SGS2 can barely be used. Plus also to send it by warranty I need to wait now for the JIG in order to restore complete to factory since can not go to Download mode. Sorry if this is useless thread - just want to steam my sadnessr somewhere. Not I am really jealous for our friends from SkyRocket community since they don't have any hardware buttons in the same place - which makes SGS2 much better device then original. I guess I got a bit upset and even started to think about SGS3 upgrade however it also has this hardware button so potentially also can brake. Anyway if you have any thoughts just post them.
What caused the unexpected demise of the home button?

I think it is my daughter I think she pressed it too hard when she plays games on the phone. I know it is ridiculous answer but it is true.

It is not ROM related. I tested buttons in CWM and Home button doesn't respond at all. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for suggestion. However I need to wipe the flash count anyway - so I need a JIG. I know that I could have done through Chainfire remove the Triangale app but in the end it looks like JIG is better and cheaper solution. But thank you again for ideas.

triangle app is way better option especially if you have a new bootloader.
If you have new bootloader, jig will not even reset anything
Yes you need to flash old gingerbread bootloader to rest flash counter with jig. Triangle Away is free for XDA users.

Thanks you for help. I didn't know that you have to go back to old bootloader. I also didn't know that it was free for XDA users. Well I wanted to donate Chainfire long time anyway. All I need now is to put back stock ICS and I will send the device.

They will replace the motherboard. You have nothing to lose. You can ask samsung to give a phone for some time before the repairs is completed
u need a usb jig

Sorry bro but you're inability to read through sticky threads or even ask questions has failed you here. You simply have yourself to blame here
There are two ways I know however:
1 Send it to Samsung repairs, they will never know what actually happened. Your motherboard will be replaced.
2. Change your motherboard on your own or with a third-party repair centre. It's faster but maybe expensive.

Then I think Samsung repairs is the only option. You got to be smart too. If you present your case well, they should give you a smaller Android phone to manage, while your phone is undergoing repairs.
Good luck
