Have an iPhone and are looking for an easy way out to enter DFU mode? Entering DFU mode is just half the work done.

Here are six different DFU tools that will help you to enter DFU mode on your iPhone.

safe & secure

Note: Before you are going to use these DFU tools to enter DFU mode, you'd better use third-party software, Wondeshare Dr.Fone to back up iPhone files, since all of your data will be erased during the DFU mode. We all know that iTunes can also back up and restore our iPhone data. You may wonder why I still need this software. Here I have to say, iTunes is a little hard to use. And the iTunes backup is not readable on a computer, which makes it impossible to view and check the details of our backup data. Especially, we can't preview and restore whatever we want to our device. While Dr.Fone allows you to preview and selectively restore what you want to your iPhone or iPad. Also, you can read the exported data directly on your computer. They are saved as .HTML, .CSV and .Vcard files. You can check the below box to get detailed information about Dr.Fone Basic's Phone Backup feature.

• Export what you want from the backup to your computer.
