In this article, we will show you how to DFU mode and hard reset an iPad Mini running iOS 11.2.6.
DFU mode is a troubleshooting feature that allows you to restore your device without the use of iTunes. It is useful for when your device has become unresponsive or has a software issue that can’t be fixed by resetting it or using the Settings app.
Hard Resetting an iPad Mini is a last resort measure when all other methods have failed to resolve the issue with your device, as it will erase all data on the iPad Mini and restore it back to factory settings.
