Recovery mode with DFU and the like results in a device wipe.

There are many ways to redo the firmware, but every single one of them, by design, requires wiping the phone to implement.

The outcome of entering DFU mode for most of us is a device wipe but this doesn't have to be the case for Apple.

You can reinstall a phone from recovery mode without erasing it.
