DFU simply means (Drainage Fixture Unit) and a means of putting your iPhone into a special mode that enables it to interface with iTunes but does not load the iPhone operating system or boot loader though.

To put your iPhone in  DFU modus start iTunes and plug-in your iPhone even if it is turned off or when it only shows the apple logo and then press down the power button for 3 seconds and now press the home button while still holding the power button.

Keep holding both buttons simultaneous for at least 15 seconds and then release the power button and continue holding the home button for about 30 seconds and your iPhone will be detected by iTunes.

You might be asked to restore your smartphone to the factory defaults settings which will finally restore your iPhone to its functional state.
