Yea, I'm doing everything exactly and it wont work.....

1. push volume up
2. push volume down
3. hold down sleep button until phone turns black
4. release
5. press and hold sleep/volume down for 5 seconds
6. release power while holding volume down
7. my phone boots up...

Hmm. works for me 100% every time.

I just tried it again and It’s always works for me, maybe between step 3 when the screen just turns black, release the button and step 5, exactly 5 seconds

has anyone had trouble with this method also? Mine keeps booting up.. Why does apple have to change ****....

Not to resurrect a semi old post but I can confirm that this works for DFU Mode. I will add though it has to be fairly quickly though.

hi guys im back ! finally i know how to enter DFU mode on 8/8plus

1) connect iphone to computer and open itunes, make sure your phone is on, not off.
2) quickly press volume up, quickly press volume down then press and hold power until the phone JUST go black
3) release the power, then re hold down volume down and hold power button together for 5 seconds
4) after 5 seconds, release power button but keep hold volume down
5) wait until Itunes detects as DFU mode as the phone 8/8plus goes black

Wrong post. This is post I was looking for. I can confirm that the above works.

This method also works with the iPhone X as I tested out and did a fresh install of 11.1 on it.
