Howto DFU mode/Recover your iPhone/iPod
This is a question i hear a lot.
First of all, why do you need the DFU mode?
Dfu stands for Download Firmware Update and you need this to recover your iPhone or iPod touch.
Her’s a quick guide.
1) Start your iTunes and connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your mac/pc.
2) Keep holding the sleep/wake and home button for about 10 seconds. Release the sleep/wake button, but keep holding the home button. you will hear some sounds.
3) If you did it correctly iTunes will tell you that it has detected an iPhone or iPod touch in recovery mode.
4) If you see the iTunes icon and cable on your iPhone, your device is not in DFU mode, but in recovery mode. Your device’s screen will be black when you are in DFU mode. I always have to try this several times so succeed.
5) Connect your device back to your Pc/Mac and press SHIFT+CLICK (pc) or COMMAND+ CLICK on the restore button.
6) Select the firmware version you’d like to install 1.1.4 (you can find it on our firmware page).
7) Wait for a couple of minutes and your iPhone/iPod will be as new.
enjoy ….
