How to put your iOS DEVICE Into Safe aka DFU Mode
We have all experienced a broken Cydia Tweak that causes our iOS device to go into a continuous loop or has conflict with other tweaks. The problem is most likely two tweaks conflicting or you may have installed a tweak which isn’t compatible with the iOS version on your device. Safe mode is also known around the jailbreak community as DFU mode. We will refer to it as safe dfu mode in this post so readers understand they are the same thing. Safe DFU Mode may be used for several different reasons on the iOS device. Users may enter safe dfu mode to downgrade, restore, and/or remove bad tweaks through mobile-substrate. As you see understanding safe dfu mode is an important part for the function of any iOS device. Understanding how and when to use it is just as important too. Need help?

Things you should know about pirated apps or tweaks
Hoax: Many people who jailbreak are under the impression pirated tweaks are compatible when the true version states ‘not compatible with this version of iOS”. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Chances are that’s why you are getting this loop or problem you are having now.Pirated tweaks can break your jailbreak at any time and eventually will. Many of the pirated tweaks are cracked by persons who are not developers. They only try to crack apps for purposes of high traffic. I do not consider these people to be “developers” by any means. These same people will install harmful ads or trackers into the app to follow where you go and such. So be very careful which repo’s you get cracked apps from.
Once you have entered Safe mode or DFU Mode you may downgrade, restore, or remove bad tweaks. You are now able to get back to betting on your favorite team directly from your iOS device. Nowadays, users can bet directly from the iPhone from any location.
