{PIX INCLUDED} How To: Put a device into Recovery Mode, DFU Mode & Pwned DFU Mode - D3xus - Nov 2, 2011

Before I start, you have to know your history ;)
Recovery:
Looks like this:

You are locked out of your device and the only option is to restore your device to stock firmware or custom firmware.
DFU:
Damn I Fucked Up mode; iTunes percieves your device as in recovery mode, but the device's screen does not display anything.
Pwned DFU:
Read above: same as DFU mode except it is a special type of DFU mode for upgrading/downgrading to custom firmwares created by sn0wbreeze, PwnageTool or redsn0w.

Lock Button:

Great thread d3xus :)
Will help a lot of people that need help with dtf. I remember the first time putting my device in dtf.
Hard stuff

A simple way for temporary recovery. (I don't know if all recovery's temp. I do know some will last until you do something with it)
IF you use blackra1n to enter recovery, it'll be much easier. There is a risk, though, that it might loop your iPod if you let it run.
But if you close ra1n when it enters recovery you'll be fine. I suggest blackra1n because it will detect all devices regardless of what kind of lock it's on. SIM lock, passcode lock, unlock shit lock.
And...to get out of that recovery is quite simple. Just let it sit for 30 seconds and it'll reboot into the regular after awhile. So that's just a bit.

Now how you "manually" get your Damn iFucked Up state, all you have to do is have your iDevice plugged in to a power source and use the button combination you used to get it into DFU.

Well limera1n does auto-recovery and it stops right there, which is why it's a better alternative than blackra1n.
You should change your username to blackra1n, you love it so much.
The theme of the forum is even Black Reign o.o

I do like blackra1n a lot. Maybe one day.
