In recent times, iOS devices have reported a number of issues. One of the most recently reported issues is when the iPhone is stuck in a restart loop. All you see when you try to use your iPhone is a black screen or the Apple logo would display stuck for a moment and then disappear. Even more problematic is the fact that this would happen again and again.
If you have encountered this problem, it is important to understand that there are many more users of iOS devices. But even more important is that you can solve the problem very easily with a few simple steps. But before you can learn how to do this, it is vital to understand exactly what is causing a problem like this and what can be done.
It is not very clear what could cause this problem although there are those who think it is caused by application updates. Most iPhone users reported the problem immediately after application or firmware issues.
There is, however, a solution to this problem. In order to get rid of this endless loop, you will need to do one of two things, Use Recovery Mode or DFU Mode. Most people agree that the best method is the DFU mode. The reasons why most people use DFU on the recovery mode are many, as we will see shortly. But first you have to understand what the DFU mode is.
You have an iPhone / iPad / iPod that has a problem and you want to update it via iTunes or other similar applications, and you do not know how to proceed? No more panic today we will together learn how to handle this problem on iTunes using the DFU mode with any iPhone.
This article will teach you how to enter or leave the DFU mode. If you try something on it and it does not work your iPhone will remain in DFU mode and you will not know how to return your iPhone / iPad / iPod in normal mode.
But first of all you need to know what the DFU mode is, what it does and in the end describe the procedure for entering this mode.
here is the foreword about the DFU mode in a few lines:
1.What is the DFU mode for an iPhone / iPad / iPod?
If you do not know what a DFU mode is, then you are in luck because we are going to give a deeper explanation of what it is and how it can help you combat the problem described above. DFU or otherwise known as the device firmware update mode is basically a means by which you get your phone to interface with iTunes without iTunes automatically loading the latest iOs on your phone.
This is the main reason why most people prefer the DFU mode to the recovery mode. DFU mode gives you options that you will not get with the recovery mode. This is a distinct advantage, especially when you think that firmware updates may be the cause of the problems you are experiencing.
DFU mode allows you to choose or change the firmware you use. However, it is very important to note that if you use DFU mode or recovery mode, you lose all the changes you made to your phone. This means that all your unsynchronized data since your last iTunes backup will be lost. If you choose to do the DFU mode or recovery mode for your iPhone, any content that was not saved in your last backup, including voice memos, notes, contacts, etc., will be lost. It is advisable to proceed with caution.
2. What can DFU Mode do for you?
The DFU mode can be very convenient when it is done correctly. As we have seen above, DFU can be used to solve a number of problems with your iPhone. It is particularly useful when you want to fix a device that is stuck in a restart loop more than the recovery mode that can be used to solve the same problem, but will come with limitations.
This is not the only reason to choose the DFU mode as your go-to solution. This is because with DFU mode you can choose the firmware you want to install on your device. This contrasts sharply with the recovery mode in which iTunes restored your phone's original settings and installed the latest firmware. Therefore, you want to choose the DFU plus mode if you think that a firmware update caused the original problem in the first place and you prefer not to keep it.
This is an ideal choice if you want to go back to a previous version of iOs. If you tried to use recovery mode to no avail, the DFU mode may be useful. It is also great if you want to jailbreak your iPhone for those who want to skip the iBoot bootloader for their own jailbreaking.
DFU mode is also a convenient solution when you need to unlock your SIM card.
3. What is the difference between DFU mode and Recovery mode?
We mentioned both the recovery mode and the DFU mode and now you can probably spot some glaring differences between the two. Understanding the difference between the two will help you choose the right solution for any problem your device is exhibiting. Choosing the right solution means that you can easily solve your problem and enjoy using your iPhone.
Here are some of the biggest differences between DFU mode and recovery mode.
1.The recovery mode uses iBoot when restoring or upgrading your iPhone while DFU mode bypasses iBoot.
2. Because DFU ignores iBoot, you can downgrade your firmware in DFU mode.
3.You can not downgrade the firmware to recovery mode; The recovery mode will install the latest version of iOS on your device.
4. DFU mode allows your iPhone to interface with iTunes without a firmware upgrade. With recovery mode, iTunes automatically upgrades your firmware to the latest version
5.You can choose or change the firmware in DFU mode. You can only install the latest firmware in recovery mode
6. DFU mode allows you to use custom firmware such as Cydia and other Jailbreak tools. The recovery mode is not customizable and will only upgrade your firmware.
Given the major differences between the two, it's pretty clear why most people would choose the DFU mode on recovery mode. DFU mode gives you more leeway to maneuver your iPhone and therefore many more options to solve any problem you encounter.
It is very important to note, however, that the recovery modes and DFU will result in data loss. This means that both should not be tempted unless there is a need to solve a particular problem or is absolutely necessary.
