What to do if there are problems
Have you slavishly followed the instructions I gave you in the previous lines but you are unable to complete the procedure by which to clone iPhone 6 due to some error? Would you like to restore your iPhone backup to an iDevice that was previously jaelbroken? Then try putting the device in mode DFU, you well see that you well be able to cope with it in no time.
