Instructions

Connect in DFU Mode (Device Firmware Update)

1. Plugin your iPad or iPod touch to your Mac
2. Make sure that iTunes is running.
3. Turn Off your iPhone or iPad if it is powered-on. (Press and hold down the Power button for 3 seconds. Then swipe the slide to power off slider to the right)
4. Once the device has powered off. Press and hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds. (Do not release your finger until next step completes)
5. Press and hold the Home button on the front of your device while still holding down the On/Off button.
6. Keep holding both buttons down for 10 seconds. (If you see the Apple logo, you’ve held them too long and will need to start again.)
7. Let go of the Power Button but keep holding the Home button for about 5 seconds. If you see the “Plug into iTunes” screen, then you’ve held it too long and will need to start again.
8. If the screen stays black, that’s it! Your iPhone should now be in DFU mode.

At this point, iTunes should show you an alert saying it has detected your iDevice and will allow it to be restored.

Reminder: If you see any logos on your device, you might be in Recovery Mode, but you’re not in DFU mode.
