What's the process for re-flashing a Bricked iPhone (12) using DFU?
I have a bricked iPhone 12 due to the fact I reset it while
a content filter MDM was installed. I'm trying to reflash it with iTunes and
trying to figure out if there's a difference between DFU and recovery mode. I
saw someone posted instructions on how to enter DFU but every time I follow
them the iPhone goes into restore mode. He mentions the screen should remain black
which in my case it clearly isn’t.
Also part of me being bricked is that I can either see the
apple logo or make the screen black by holding the power button but when I plug
into the computer again it goes straight to recovery, and iTunes is saying “This
iPhone was previously in DFU mode, but restarted and is no longer in DFU mode.
To restore this iPhone from DFW mode, disconnect it and place it in DFIJ mode
again.”
iTunes is giving me the option to restore the firmware but
keep randomly failing in middle with the message “The iPhone “iPhone” could not
be restored. An unknown error occurred (4013).” Windows is beeping for a second
when I get that error that the device disconnected but I’m using a brand new
high quality cable and I didn’t move the wire. The iPhone then proceeds to
automatically go into restore mode every time I plug into my PC.
