Step 2: Hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons at the same time. And then, hold the Power button for 10 seconds. If the iPhone screen is still black, it means your iPhone X is entering DFU mode. Then please release the buttons.
Note: During this process, if the Apple logo appears on the iPhone X screen, it means that you hold the buttons for too long. After turning off the device, go through the above steps again. In addition, after entering DFU mode, a window will pop up on iTunes. Then click on [Restore iPhone] to choose the firmware and reset the iPhone.
