Lmfao, that gave me a good chuckle

I always used to call it that because you'd end up in it when your jailbreak went wrong way back in the days of the 3GS... but yes it's essentially a BIOS, nothing shows on the screen and it only allows you to restore from iTunes

Here's the wiki page about it: https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/DFU_Mode

yeah in my case it wont even go into DFU for some reason, just gets ignored and can only go to apple logo loop or the connect to itunes screen

How are you doing it? Press Vol up, release then volume down and hold power? Remember the screen will be completely blank

If it truly won’t go into DFU mode you’ll need to take it to Apple, they should do a restore for you even if out of warranty

currently I can get it into normal recovery mode (itunes logo) but even doing the VolUp, VolDown, HoldPower, ContinuePower with VolDown 5sec, ReleasePower with VolDown held 10 sec, still gets ignored, unfortunately.

Wait I think you might be doing it wrong, have you gone to YouTube and found a recent video on it to follow?

yeah following a youtube vid, the screen is in a loop so its hard to know if it cuts to black screen or its just in its loop with the between the logo flashes
