Sorry! She. 😀

So you have to combine iTunes and DFU mode?

Yes. The procedure I laid out for you does all that.

Yes. Just put the iPhone in DFU mode and restore to iOS 9.1 in iTunes.

@eyoungren outlines the same instructions in his previous post.

I am too! I have another question if you don't mind? Can Apple or the store where I bought my phone see if it had been jailbroken?

Nope. When you restore it wipes out all traces of a jailbreak. Not that this matters much anymore though. Apple's policy has changed recently. They have to prove that a jailbreak has caused a problem before they can deny warranty coverage.

If you restore from a jailbroken backup, it probably will have traces of the old jailbreak. However, Apple will repair your iPhone as long as you've restored to stock and it's not jailbreak-related.
