Although this process is simple, it deletes all your existing data from your iPhone. Also, after your iPhone restarts in the normal mode, you must rely on an already existing iTunes backup file in order to recover your old data. If there is no iTunes backup file available, you are out of luck and all your data is gone forever and for good.

Recovery Mode VS DFU Mode

Recovery Mode is a state of an iPhone where the hardware of the phone communicates with the bootloader and iOS. When your iPhone is in Recovery Mode, an iTunes logo is displayed on the screen, and iTunes allows you to update the iOS when connected to the computer.

DFU Mode - When your iPhone is in Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) mode, the bootloader and iOS don't initialize, and only the hardware of your iPhone communicates with iTunes when connected to your PC. This allows you to upgrade or downgrade the firmware of your iPhone independently using iTunes. The major difference between the Recovery Mode and DFU Mode is that the latter displays nothing on the mobile screen but the phone is successfully detected by iTunes.

Conclusion

Exiting the Recovery Mode Loop can be extremely simple when using Wondershare Dr.Fone. On the other hand, iTunes may make things simple as well but at the cost of your data which may be lost during the process.
