When we talk about Apple services, such as iOS devices like the iPhone or iPad, it is generally not associated with specific problems. They are generally quite stable devices in terms of hardware and software, but it is possible that they will have failures.
This also applies when we talk about starting one of these devices. Although, as we said before, it is not usual; you may be able to fix these boot or startup problems. When this happens, the best way to solve the problem is through DFU mode, or for its acronym in English, Device Firmware Upgrade.
Although, in the event that you get stuck in DFU recovery mode, it is always possible to get out somehow. In this case, below we will show you how you can get out through a very simple tool, called Reiboot.
What is DFU recovery mode and what is it for?
In the event that you are watching this tutorial a bit confused about its nature, perhaps we need to tell you a bit about what DFU recovery mode is. Especially when maybe you’ve done it but don’t quite understand how it works.
This is a state in which it is possible to put our iOS devices in order to restore the operating system. Although, its main function is to change the current firmware of the device.
Perhaps the part of the firmware is a bit obvious through ” upgrade ” in the acronym of DFU, but it is not only limited to updating or improving, but it can also be downgraded through this mode. It is entirely possible to go from a new operating system to an old one.
This is done a lot when you have an iPhone 4, which lets you easily go up or down in its version due to an inherent failure in the device. Actually, you can do it as long as Apple continues to sign that version that you want so much to have on your device.
Also, it serves as a kind of forced restoration. Although there are other ways to restore the device, this is always a reliable way to get our device back to a point we want. Although, it happens that when the device is in this state, the screen turns black and it is impossible to interact with our device.
Therefore, if you have a hardware failure such as the inability to use a specific button, you may want to see a much easier version of exiting this mode, and Reiboot is a good option.
Using Reiboot to exit DFU recovery mode
Being able to use DFU mode to be able to restore or recover in some way the software of your mobile or iPad, is an extremely comfortable way to carry out the process.
But, there are chances that you will get stuck in this mode, with a black screen and not much else to do, because your device will not react unless you do something about it. Therefore, perhaps Reiboot is a good option for you.
Although many like to use redsn0w to handle this mode, Reiboot is very simple and straightforward. So, see how to get out of DFU mode in a few steps:
- First, you will need to download and install the Reiboot program. This can be done through the website of its developers, Tenorshare. Once installed, open it.
- Now, whether you have Reiboot Pro or the classic version, connect your iOS device to your computer.
- You will immediately see several options on the screen, but you just have to press the option “Exit Recovery Mode” and that’s it.
