check them out in the link in the
description below hey guys it's Jeff and
today we are gonna talk about hard
resetting your iDevice with iOS 11 came
a feature called emergency SOS and that
configuration has kind of screwed up the
hard reset feature for most iPhones now
typically when you want it to hard reset
or put your phone into a DFU mode you'd
click the you'd hold the power button
and the home button and that was kind of
taken away when the home button didn't
actually contain any physical buttons
anymore so when you hold that button
when it's when your phone is off you
can't feel anything the taptic feedback
is completely gone so with the iPhone 7
+ 7 + + now the 8 + 8 + the method was
holding the power button and the lower
volume button until the reset feature or
the hard reset would kind of activate
and you'd hold that until you saw the
Apple logo your screen would go black
and then you'd see the Apple logo and
you release those two buttons you'd
continuously hold one of them to get
into DFU mode but that's besides the
point we'll get into that one later if I
held that any longer the emergency SOS
feature would start you know making very
loud noises so I don't want to do that
but basically it would have a countdown
and once it reaches zero it would
contact emergency services AKA 9-1-1 or
the number for emergencies services in
whichever country you are in so now in
iOS 11 there's a completely new method
it's actually quite easy and it uses all
of the available physical buttons so
it's quite easy to remember now first
things first if you want to get into a
DFU mode you are going to want to have
this lightning connector plugged into
your device and the USB end plugged into
your computer now the only reason you
use this method to get into a DFU mode
is if your phone is unresponsive and
it's
not being it's not being seen by your
computer so you'd want to get into that
DFU mode to get it readable by your
device most people will be using the
hard reset method which is basically if
your phone is lagging or it's crashed or
you just want a hard reset your device
mostly that's going to be used because
I've run into that issue quite a bit now
in iOS 11 where some things crash and I
just have to get to a reset because it's
lagging too much so the method is
actually quite easy you're gonna be
using the the top volume control button
the lower volume control button and the
power button so you're gonna do a quick
press on the top quick press on the
bottom and then a long hold on the power
button so I'm going to demonstrate that
for you now and we're gonna do top press
lower press and hold the power button
and you're gonna want to release that
power button when you see the Apple logo
it'll take quite a few seconds here to
get back to the Apple logo but as it
pops up will release that home button
and the hard reset will be completed and
it should go back to your home screen so
it'll kind of go throughout the process
here of getting back to that home screen
and resetting and there we go so if you
want to put your phone into a DFU mode
as I said you need your cable plugged
into your device and then into a
computer if you want to do that all you
have to do when that that Apple logo
comes back up is since you quick press
these two options and you're not going
to be holding them you're only gonna be
holding the power so when that USB is
plugged in you want to continuously hold
the power until DFU mode is activated so

get into a DFU mode or do a hard reset
