DFU Mode (Default Firmware Update) can be defined as an advanced recovery and restore mode that allows iPhone to communicate directly with iTunes, without the active boot loader being activated.

This provides you with greater control of the device and access to advanced functions like upgrading firmware, downgrading firmware and restoring a jailbroken device.

DFU Mode Restore will completely erase the data on your iPhone. Hence, make sure that you make a Backup of your iPhone, before going ahead with DFU Mode Restore.

Note: DFU Mode is not recommended if your iPhone appears to have suffered internal component damage due to a fall, impact or water damage.
