Welcome, in front of me is an iPad Pro 11 and today I will show you how to put the device
0:12
into the DFU mode. Now before we get started I will warn you this process is extremely annoying and if
0:19
you have literally no reason to do it, don't bother even, it is such a pain, it's unbelievable
0:25
But anyway, for the process you will need a cable type C and you will need a computer that actually functions correctly with the iPad, otherwise it won't work as well
0:33
For some reason my Windows based laptop decides to not function correctly, or this doesn't
0:39
decide to boot into anything, but an Apple computer obviously works fine
0:45
So anyway, from here we're going to plug it in and now we get this amazing sequence of
0:50
different keys that we need to hold. So I'm going to describe what we need to do before I will start doing it, just so it might
0:56
be a little bit easier. So we're going to press volume up, then volume down, hold power key, and you're going to
1:02
hold power key till the screen turns off, at which point once it does, immediately you
1:06
want to start pressing as well volume down for exactly 4 seconds
1:12
If you see the Apple logo while still holding volume down, you already screwed up and you need to start over
1:17
So let's see if I can actually manage to get it by the first try
1:21
So volume up, volume down, power key. One, two, three, four
1:40
And it didn't work. Surprises no one. So let's try that again
1:52
So again, volume up, volume down, power key. One, two, three, four
2:17
And this time it actually worked. Now the reason why I was doing this weird hand movement is because I was trying to let
2:22
go of the power key but still hold volume down. It is annoyingly difficult to actually do it when the device is actually laying down
2:29
like this, because you're trying to brace it here, you're trying to also let go of this
2:33
one and not make it slide around, so forgive me for that. But anyway, as you can see the device looks like it's completely off, which is not the case
2:42
I'm going to bring into the view just the laptop screen. So you can clearly see right here it is connected
2:51
And you can see it shows us as recovery mode. That's because Apple, still after a couple decades of producing devices, still haven't
2:59
managed to change in their code that DFU mode is DFU mode, not recovery mode
3:04
So it shows both of the modes as a single one. But you can clearly see that this is not recovery mode, because if it was, you would have this
3:11
little cable icon on the screen with a laptop connected. So anyway, that is how you'd boot it into it, and if you want to leave it, it's also
3:19
not straightforward, because why would it be? So you probably will already try holding power key, which will do basically nothing, as I
3:28
will show right now. So I assume right now it should already turn on, or start turning on, but as you can see
3:35
it's not. So anyway, to turn it on, what you want to do is again press volume up, volume down
3:41
and start holding power key. Pretty easy, self-explanatory, everybody should probably know that by default
3:48
That is sarcasm, by the way. So there we go
3:58
I was getting concerned here. So give it a moment and it will boot back up
4:11
And there we go. So that's how you'd access the DFU mode on this device, and if you found this video helpful
