Solution to Date bricking

I have found a solution to the bug in the date and time settings, when it is set to 1970 and you brick your phone! dont worry! its not gone forever! all you have to do is put it in DFU mode! hold the power button for 5 seconds, then the power and home button for 10 seconds, then the home button only until it says to connect to itunes 🙂 i hope you guys enjoy this solution, your phone is not gone forever!

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.2.1
