I had this same issue some times back, where everything worked great till recovery mode window in checkra1n (on Mac Monterey). Then the checkra1n gui window shows step to get into DFU mode but everytime during those steps (4-5 seconds side button + vol down and then 10 seconds vol. down button), my device never entered DFU mode and would simply reboot and checkra1n gui would show "Failed to enter DFU mode".

Solution: (Its really silly) - Use USB-A cable instead of USB-C. :-| This actually worked and I was able to enter DFU mode and checkra1n process further got initiated.
