For "firmware”Basically means the operating system that is the basis of a device, just like Windows or Mac OS is for computers. For iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPhone), Apple provides free firmware updates from time to time and there are several sites that contain the complete list of firmware that you can download on your PC and then update or restore on your device. This is certainly a delicate operation as restoration usually takes place with the deletion of all data.
In fact, if you restore the firmware via iTunes, the iOS device is first reset to factory conditions and then the operating system is updated. A complete guide on how to restore iPhone firmware with iTunes can be found in this article.
The goal of this article, however, is another and that is to show how restore iPhone firmware without iTunes.
Even if iTunes does not intervene in the operation that we are going to describe, it is still necessary that it is at least installed on the computer, as it contains the drivers necessary for communication between iPhone and computer (Windows or Mac). The software tool that you will have to download and install, and which will be the protagonist of the firmware recovery, is dr.fone for iOS.
Here are the download links:
Guide: How to restore iPhone firmware WITHOUT iTunes (and without losing anything!)
Dr.Fone for iOS home screen:
Access the function "REPAIR"And you will see this screen:
Choose the repair mode: Standard (with data retention) or Advanced (with data wipe). Standard mode allows you to solve various problems such as iPhone stuck on black screen, stuck on Apple logo or in recovery mode. We recommend that you try this mode and if it fails to repair the device switch to Advanced mode (which however repairs the iPhone by erasing all data).
After choosing the repair mode, a window will open asking you to connect the device to the PC via USB. Once connected and detected, click on the button at the bottom right START to continue and set the model of your iPhone, the one you want to repair.
Dr.fone will automatically show the link of the latest firmware version available for your iPhone. Click on DOWNLOAD to proceed with its download.
After downloading the program will automatically select the firmware you just downloaded on your PC to install it on your iPhone.
Click REPAIR to start restoring your iPhone firmware without iTunes and no data will be deleted.
I have an iPhone XS that does not turn on, it gives me the black screen with the Apple logo and they tell me that it needs to be reset. I hadn't made any backups, with dr fone can I recover all the data, especially the photos and make a possible backup?

Yes, you can try the "Repair" function to repair the device without losing data.
my T.Screen works fine… but for 2 days when I receive a phone call, the answering T.Screen does not move, does not hear my finger and the phone is blocked. I have to turn it off and turn it on again and at this point the TS also restarts… .. but on 2/3 phone call received, the T.Screen goes into block again and I have to turn the IPhone6 off and on again. The lack of TS only occurs when I get a phone call and have to give consent with my finger

Hello!
The program asks for a subscription, how can it be solved maybe with other programs?

It is not a subscription, it is a one-time payment for the purchase of the license and to have no limitations in the use of the program.
