one of our users Alex wrote it that he
upgraded his iOS in his iPhone 5 - I owe
s Ken and it started freaking out on him
though he wanted to know if it was
possible to downgrade his iOS well the
short answer Alex yes it is possible to
downgrade your iOS but you're going to
have to go in comfy su mode with vfu
mode its device firmware update mode and
it primarily used to downgrade your iOS
but it can also be used to install
custom firmware to jailbreak your phone
it's different than recovering though
because recovery mode is going to give
you the latest version of iOS we figured
other people might be interested in DFU
mode so today I'm going to show you how
to get your iOS device into the MP mo
okay so first plug in your phone to your
PC or Mac iTunes just launch
automatically but if it doesn't go ahead
and launch it now and then you're going
to want to turn off your phone in order
to get into DFU mode you have to press
the power button and the home button but
the process is a little different with
the iPhone 7 because the home button is
solid-state so first I'm going to lead
you through the process with iPhone 6s
and 6s plus and older and then we'll go
in how to do it on the iPhone 7 first
hold your power button down for three
seconds then put your other finger on
the home button and hold them both down
for 10 seconds let go of the power
button and keep your finger on the home
button for an additional five seconds if
you see the Apple logo or plug into
iTunes bad news and you did it wrong but
don't lose heart start the process over
if your screen is black then congrats
you're in DFU mode and now I should be
able to spec your home if you're ready
to get out of DFU mode go ahead and
press the home button and power button
at the same time for 10 seconds or until
the Apple logo comes on

if you want to put your iPhone 7 in DFU
mode the process is similar but you're
going to need your power button and the
bottom volume button so I'll show you
that process now press the power button
for 3 seconds then press the lower
volume button and hold them both for 10
seconds then let go of the power button
and hold the lower volume button for 5
additional seconds I just should be able
to detect your phone ok so when you want
to get out of DFU mode go ahead and hold
the power button and the lower volume
button for 10 seconds or until the Apple
logo shows up on your phone if you mess
up don't worry we messed up too we have
to do this a couple of times to get it
