Hold the Power button and the Home button for 10 seconds together, release the Power button and continue holding down the Home button for another 8 seconds. MAKE SURE YOU COUNT! Don't rely on your computer to tell you when or when not it's in DFU mode.

  • MY ipod doesn't go into dfu it just asks if i want to turn it off...

  • @randomsimsy You're not holding the buttons long enough...

  • i did it 100 times and all i get is a snap shot of the screen

  • @allenolson2000 That's because you're PRESSING the two buttons, not HOLDING them.

  • Five stars for your video ,Friend how to find my i phone is in DFU mode or Recovery mode. To jailbreak and unlock which mode do we need to use. Thanks in advance

  • @iPT2gGeec I've tried about 5 different lengths for holding, sometimes holding it for longer than necessary, as soon as one of the buttons is pressed or held on the ipod it just comes up with the apple logo and continues to start normally...
