How To Put An iPhone In DFU Mode & DFU Restore Your iPhone!

  • In this video, a former Apple tech shows you how to put an iPhone into DFU mode. Then, we demonstrate how to perform a DFU restore on an iPhone 7, but the steps in this video work for all models of the iPhone, with one catch:
    On iPhone 6s or earlier, you press and hold the home button with the power button. On the iPhone 7 or later, you perform a DFU restore using the volume down button instead.
    Important correction for PC users: To manually choose a file to restore from using iTunes, hold Shift and click "Restore iPhone". We said to hold "Alt" by mistake in the video. We apologize for any confusion!
    Before performing a DFU restore, we recommend backing up your iPhone. Check out this tutorial to learn how to back up an iPhone: www.iphonehelp.expert/step/ba...
    To put an iPhone into DFU mode, plug it into your laptop and open iTunes. Next, press and hold the power button and the volume down button (iPhone 7 and later) or the Home button (iPhone 6s and earlier) for 8 seconds.
    After 8 seconds, release the power button and wait until iTunes says, “iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.” At this point, let go of the volume down button or Home button. Your iPhone’s display should be completely back. If it doesn’t start from the beginning.
    Now, restore your iPhone using iTunes, either by allowing iTunes to install the latest version of iOS, or by using an iOS firmware version downloaded from this website: ipsw.me/#!/platform
    Wait for the status bars to complete, then set your iPhone up again or restore from a backup! This process can take several minutes, so be patient!

    You actually saved my time with this video. Even Apple Care with 104 minutes chat and 45 minutes phone call found nothing. I had no phone and they told me: Please wait 48 to 72 hours for a answer. I was giving up, but I looked online and found your video. Fully restored my iPhone 7 plus with an "OLD" OS and use my last back up after all. Thank you so much!

    Cleaning the power port was the problem with my daughter Iphone 5c ... I was actually not that mad because she paid for it (not me) and I told her she was responsible the device .... today it wouldn't charge and she tried to give me the "Please dad save me tears" so before taking it to a phone store something told me to visit "UA-cam" this was the first shot in the dark and it worked first time ... You guy are great and while dad gets no credit you guys do. Good job guys.

    Thank you so much guys. I have just completed this task with an i phone A1429.I am not a tech person and I do not even have i tunes. I even had to download i tunes on my PC to do the process. I followed all of your instructions both verbally and visually and got it done. Very clear and accurate guidance. Even the part when it did not work in the video showed how you worked it out. Not sure if that was scripted but in any event great work. You guys know your stuff. Well done David and David, double you , you have defeated this goliath.

    After watching several video's on youtube this was the only one with the correct steps. Worked on iphone 6 perfectly. The key was letting go of the power button after 5 seconds. Like others have stated, I did get the "unknown error (9)" on the first attempt. After starting over, the restore was successful on the second attempt. Thanks guys!

      Hi Carlos, here's what Apple says about error 9: support.apple.com/en-us/HT201444 - But what you should do is to try DFU restoring your iPhone with a different cable using iTunes on a friend's computer. After the DFU restore finishes and you see 'Hello' on the screen, pull your iPhone right out of their computer and set it up however you like.

    in a previous video i watched from you guys, you a link for last option to fix a charging issue. You mentioned 4 issues that could cause why your phone would not charge. Last option was here. You never explained anything about what you would need to do if the phone would not turn on from not charging in this video.

      Sorry about that! If your iPhone won't turn on at all, start with this video: ua-cam.com/video/AhvYZTiPIGw/v-deo.html
      If your iPhone won't turn on, but is still recognized by iTunes, you can still put your iPhone in DFU mode.
