All about DFU mode

DFU or (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode allows all devices to be

restored from any state. It is essentially a mode where the

BootROM can accept iBSS. DFU is part of the SecureROM which is

burned into the hardware, so it cannot be removed. On A7+

devices, it generates an ApNonce and recognizes APTickets as

well, so even in DFU, it can accept an APTicket.

not work. If this happens, you need to use the normal USB cable.(lightning cable)
