sudo -s

enter your administrator password, then:

/Users/Maypalo/Downloads/tetheredboot/tetheredboot
/Users/Maypalo/Downloads/tetheredboot/iBSS.n90ap.RELEASE.dfu
/Users/Maypalo/Downloads/tetheredboot/kernelcache.release.n90

Note: You will have to replace “Maypalo” with the name of directory on yourcomputer.

now press enter.

(ii) You should now see some code running in the Terminal window, at some point, it will ask you to enter DFU mode. Now follow the following steps to enter DFU mode:

  • Hold Power and Home buttons for 10 seconds
  • Now release the Power button but continue holding the Home button for 10 more seconds
  • You device should now be in DFU mode
