After Apple publish on its website the "reasons" why it is not advisable to Jailbreak our devices, many felt that it was a form of "scare". But there are always two sides of the same coin: in favor or against.

If you've had problems restoring your device after making Jailbreak and want to remove all traces of it and return it to its initial state, we present a method to remove the jailbreak. It is simple and you only have to follow the steps listed below you. 
 
 
There are two ways to restore the firmware of our device through iTunes recovery mode and the least known, DFU (Device Firmware Update). One way to differentiate is that in the former case the iTunes logo appears, whereas in the second the display is totally black. 
 
In DFU mode your device prevents iBoot (bootloader) during the restoration process, and because he does not check the firmware version installed, allows us to avoid iTunes give us back the error: "The iPhone" XXX "can not restored. There was an unknown "or similar error. 
 
 
 
 
Put the iPhone and iPad in DFU 
 
  1. The restoration process consists of the following steps: 
  1. Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes. 
  2. Turn off your device (after iTunes detects it). 
  3. Hold down the Home button and off for 10 seconds. 
  4. Release the button off and another 10 seconds to keep the Home button. 
  5. Sound will be heard on iTunes and the device screen will be completely black.
 
iTunes will tell you that it has detected a device in restore mode. We asked if we want to restore. With this method we will have our device without Jailbreak, fully restored and left the Apple Store. 
 
The DFU mode and you mentioned it a few years ago in one of our mini-tutorials. DFU Mode
