Before starting with the first step, make sure you update iTunes on your computer to the latest version. Note: If your screen didn’t stay, black repeat this step again. If iTunes doesn’t show this message, you should repeat the steps beginning from the first one. Also, if you DO NOT see a black screen on your device, you ARE NOT in DFU Mode, and you need to do these steps again. Keep in mind that while performing the steps for entering in DFU Mode, you may accidentally turn off your iPhone or put it in Recovery Mode. If this happens, please stay calm and try the steps again. Keep trying, and you will successfully access the DFU mode. If you want to exit the DFU mode, just turn off your iPhone X.
