The Info:

One of the most troublesome things about jailbreaking is putting your iPhone or iTouch into DFU mode. Apple designed DFU mode to be hard to access and they did a good job at that. Hopefully this guide will help you enter DFU mode with little trouble.

The Process:

  1. Locate the Home and Power buttons on your iDevice. The Home button is the round button below the screen; the Power button is the rectangular button located on top of your iDevice.
  2. Plug your iDevice into your computer.
  3. If you can’t count well in you head, look at a clock that displays the seconds because the timing of these steps is very important.
  4. Press and hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds. The screen should cut off at around 8 seconds
  5. While still holding the Home button, release the Power button.
  6. Continue holding the home button for about 15 seconds.
  7. The screen will remain off and the iDevice will look unchanged, but, if you’re on Windows, you will hear the connected hardware sound; if your on a Mac, iTunes will open and tell you that your iDevice is connected in “Recovery” mode.

Congratulations, your iDevice is now in DFU mode. To exit DFU mode, press and hold the Power and Home button for 10 seconds. Then tap the power button.
