Standard Repair Mode is recommended if you need to fix some common iOS or tvOS issues on your device such as "iPhone stuck in recovery mode" or "iPhone frozen with black screen", etc. This mode won't cause any data loss while repairing the system.
Step 1: Connect iPhone/iPad/iPod/Apple TV to PC
First of all, launch TunesKit iOS System Recovery on your computer. Then connect the iOS device or Apple TV to PC via the USB cable. Wait till it's detected.
Then click "Repair iOS System" button to move forward. In the next window, choose the "Standard Repair"/"Deep Repair" and "Next". You'll be asked to select the device model you've connected. Then follow the instructions from the interface and put your device into DFU mode. After that, click "Next" button.
Note: If your device is broken and cannot be put into recovery mode/DFU mode manually, you can simply click the "Enter Recovery Mode" or "Exit Recovery Mode" in the main interface of TunesKit to put your iOS device into/out of recovery mode.
