    dfu mode is by pressing power and home key until phone switches off and you release power key but keep hold of home key. tried it but phone don't switch on so don't know when to release power key. tried various lengths of time but nothing. is there any other software to restore firmware apart from itunes ?

    can't remember exactly but think it was can't restore. unknown error and now can't connect to itunes because iphone is not showing any signs of life.
