Nope, I haven’t had to yet. I always setup my phones as new.
When I attempted to put it in DFU mode using the same instructions for the iPhone 7/7 Plus, I could not get it to take. I ended up selecting the restore option in iTunes. At that point, iTunes appeared to download the 2.66 gigabytes .ipsw file and then install it to my iPhone 8. Afterwards, I set it up as new.
That’s weird!!! Everything on the net says the process is still the same. Hopefully someone out there has done it...now I’m curious
On an iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Then press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Finally, press and hold the Side button until you see the recovery-mode screen. Things have changed with iPhone 8. This is from Apple:

Thanks!!!! So it’s the same process as doing a hard reset. I swear I looked and couldn’t find this anywhere or maybe I just didn’t read it thoroughly enough to realize they were talking about DFU & not a hard reset*
Nice...Thank you very much for the link....
You are welcome. Glad to help. Yes it is the same just hold the side button until the Apple logo instead of until DFU. I did a force reboot yesterday and tried to do it like an iPhone 7 and jumped out of the chair when the SOS alert blast went off.
Yeah that sound is pretty scary
It wasn’t that bad, I thought that gee, “after a few attempts of this the phone might call 911... time to search Apple! Apple what have you done!”
I thought it was terrible lol! I was playing with my phone in the middle of the night so it was startling lol
