How to Put an iPhone/ iPad/ iPod Into DFU Mode

Recommended Posts

DFU means Device Firmware Update. If a restore using Recovery Mode doesn't work you will want to use DFU Mode as a last resort. When placing your iPhone/ipad/ipod into DFU Mode it does not load the OS before attempting the restore

 

 

To put the iPhone into DFU mode so you can do an iTunes firmware restore follow these steps:

Step One
Open iTunes and connect the iPhone to your PC and turn device OFF!
