    What Does iPhone DFU Mode Mean?

    DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode is a deep recovery mode that helps to fix various iOS system issues and restore the device to factory settings. It works on any mode of iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. However, it’s a last resort solution and is distinctly different from Recovery Mode. Recovery mode activates the bootloader on iOS.

        Hi Steven, after bypass iCloud activation lock, you won’t be able to make calls. If you restart or reset the device, you’ll be locked again. We have stated this on our website. And regarding your registration code, we’re unable to find out your order. Can you please give me your order number?
