:"WTF" is part of the restore process. I believe it's like a software implementation of DFU, so it can be used to "patch" bugs in DFU (to an extent; remember that DFU can't be changed once the device leaves Foxconn's doors). In fact, as I recall Apple did use WTF to try and cover up/block [[Pwnage 2.0]]. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 17:28, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
