[2.1.0] How to exit DFU mode

**anthony_crete** · 10-01-2008 06:57 PM

Hey there.
this morning after a reboot my iphone (2G) stuck and kept showing the quickpwn logo (or the apple logo if not pwned).
Anyway I was holding power+home button, then released the power and kept pushing home, so my iphone went into recovery mode!!! (and now I've got uncle Steve with some russian stuff in my iphone's screen)

Is there anyway I can get out of it instead of restoring???

PS: I have windows and when I connect to iTunes it says:
iTunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes

thanks

FYI this is recovery mode and not DFU mode

in DFU mode itunes will recognise iphone in recovery mode but ur iphone screen will be blank (screen is black)

there is no way but to restore
bad luck

u can try the hard rest.....also this one time my phone jumped out of recovery mode when i synced it with my mac

At least when in DFU, you can try pressing the power button or both the home and power (don't remember exactly which) for a few seconds and it will reboot like nothing have happened. I would guess the same works for restore mode.

Here's the advice QuickPwn gives when it sees your phone is in recovery mode (with the Connect to iTunes logo):

Hold down Home and Power buttons for 15 seconds
Then release Home, but hold Power for two more seconds (sort-of the opposite of what you'd do to get into DFU mode)

It got my phone out of recovery mode! I had it connected to the computer, with iTunes not running and with QuickPwn running (Windows). (But maybe those things aren't required.)

By the way, you get an iPhone out of DFU mode by holding Home and Power for as long as it takes before it simply reboots. This will work if a restore hasn't been started yet.

check out iRecovery, build it, and use
./iRecovery -s

it will spawn a shell with ur iPhone bootloader and u can just send the command
fsboot

and wait a minute and it will boot
