DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode is regarded as the ultimate flash state that can put your iOS device into where it can interface with iTunes but does not load the iBoot (bootloader on iOS devices). It allows all devices to be restored from any state. DFU mode can help solve many ios problems and it is really easy to operate.

If you want to enter DFU mode, this post is worth reading:

I'll allow the above post only because the article is somewhat informative, and it's not a company that's been banned yet for misleading SPAM (such as how Jihosoft was banned here).

Just add more info for 'How to put iPhone and iPad in DFU mode' in simple words. Maybe you can have a try. :)

For iPad (with Home button), iPhone 6s and earlier, press and hold Home and Power buttons simultaneously for about 8 seconds. Release Power button but keep pressing the Home button until the screen turns black.

For iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time for about 8 seconds. Release Power button but keep holding the Volume Down button until the screen is black.

For iPad (without Home button), iPhone 8, X and later, press the Volume Up button and then release it quickly. Then press the Volume Down button and then release it quickly. Next hold the Power button until you see the screen become black.

Hold down both the Home button and Lock button.
After 8 seconds, release the Lock button while continuing to hold down the Home button. ...
Nothing will be displayed on the screen when the device is in DFU mode.
