This post explains how to enter dfu mode on your iPhone without using the buttons on it.
Note: This method isn’t working for alot of users (working for some though)
Sometimes we may lose functionality of any of the iPhone button or due to any other reason, we can’t use them, but we need to make it enter the dfu mode, how shall we do it then? This tutorial explains how to get it done.
DFU mode needs you to press the power and home buttons in a sequence to work. If due to any reason, you are unable to get your iPhone into dfu mode through the buttons on the device, you can get your iPhone or iPod touch into dfu mode without using the buttons present on them by using a small program and command line on your computer.
This method works with windows computers, so if you don’t own one (mac lovers!) you can get your iPhone into dfu mode on any other system which have windows and then move it to your mac OS.
