iPhone X into DFU Mode?

Hi,


I have been trying to get my iPhone X into DFU mode for the past 30 minutes, and nothing I try seems to want to work. I have looked up many different tutorials and such on the various button combinations on how to enter DFU mode, but nothing works.


This is rather frustrating because this is such a simple process to do if it would work.


Can someone provide any feedback?

Thanks

iPhone X, iOS 12

You must count the seconds. Watch a clock with a second hand. Even a hair over 10 seconds will cause the phone to reboot rather than go into DFU mode. Try releasing even a second early, while the screen is still black. If anything appears on the screen you have held too long.
