recovery

Recovery Mode (not to be confused with DFU Mode) is a mode which allows a device to be reflashed to a fresh install of iOS. You can optionally either keep your data and update to a newer version or restore and start over with a fresh install.

To restore in Recovery Mode

  • Enter Recovery Mode
  • Connect your device to your PC/Mac and open iTunes/Finder
  • A prompt should appear which says “A device has been connected in recovery mode.” Either select “Restore” or “Update”

NOTE: If you use this method you can only restore/updated to a signed version of iOS.
