If its stuck in recovery mode then you have to restore it. Hopefully you had a recent backup on Icloud or on your computer that you can apply after restoring it. If so then you shouldn't loose your data.
Just connect it to Itunes and restore it. After it will promt you when your done to restore from backup or as new. If its on icloud unplug the phone and go through the intro screen till you get the same prompt. Sign into icloud and restore backup.

Thanks anyway for your help.
But allow me to extend to you a simple reflexion about the jailbreak (even if my iPhone wasn't... except if my little cousin jailbreaked without me noticing the advantages or disadvantages) : Would you refuse an alcoholic trying to go to rehab ? Would you really let someone trying to restore a cellular phone die without it, because he went on the bad side a couple of years ?
Not a great analogy, but this is a user-to-user forum, and Apple will not allow discussion of jailbreaking; if someone tried to help with jailbreaking the message would be deleted. However, if you have a jailbroken phone Apple will generally not block a discussion of how to unjailbreak it. The only problem is that not all jailbroken phones can be restored successfully; it depends on the method of jailbreaking (which I can't discuss without THIS message being deleted).

I have an error message while trying to update itunes from my Iphone4. It is telling me my phone is in recovery mode and I must restore the phone. How can I fix w/o losing my information? What alternatives do I have? I knew I shouldn't update the SW!!

While updating/synching I have an error saying that my phone is in recovery; need to restore the phone before it can be used with Itunes. And the phone is frozen with a graphic of the itunes symbol and a connector. If I restore, I assume I will lose all my data. Can anyone offer suggestions on how to get around this? Thanks.

It should restore from the backup. If you don't have any backup then you will lose data but what you going to do you have no other alternative so go ahead and do it.

I updated my 3GS. It goes through the updating process then at the end a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode and cant finish. My phone has lost everything and doesn't even have the home screen just the iTunes symbol. What can I do?????

I updated my 3GS to the latest OS. iTunes was updated first, when iTunes finishes updating my phone a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode so I click the update button and it goes the whole update cycle again. I unplugged my phone after 4 cycles of updating but now there is NOTHING on my phone, not even the home screen just the itunes symbol . I've tried rebooting my phone but there is still nothing there. HELP!!!!! What can I do

sounds like your phone was jailbroken.

Tried downloading new ios, now my phone is in recovery mode, and iTunes doesn't recognize my phone.

I have an iPhone 5. I was on ios 6.0.1. and tried to update to the new software via my computer (a PC). I received an error mid-download and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. However, my iTunes does not even recognize my phone or that it's in recovery mode. I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes as well.

Place the device in DFU mode (google it) then restore.

Updated Ipad now in recovery mode - why? If I restore to factory settings will I loose all my apps

I updated my Ipad and it wont turn on - it's now in recovery mode - why is this? If I do reset it to factory settings will I loose all my apps?

Something went wrong with the update and your iPad can not boot.
Yes, doing the required restore wipes all data.
Restore from your backup.

I updated my iphone 5s to iOS 8 beta. It was working nicely, but once i restarted it it shows 'Activation error'. Now i brought it to recovery mode and open the .ipsw of ios 7.1.1 than, itunes says the firmware is not supported. What to do ?

This is the same .ipsw file from which i had installed ios 7.1.1 the very first time.

I assume you are not a developer ,if you were you would know not to post here
In which case you are using stolen software which you are not licenced to use .
We do not assist in such cases
You may well have to wait until iOS8 is released before it works
I doubt you will get any help from an Apple Store genius bar as you have made unauthorised changes to the iOS and also likely voided the warranty

Hi dazzerrc,
If you had an issue during a software update of your iPhone and you are now seeing a icon screen directing you to connect to iTunes, you may find the following article helpful:

You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:
Restore from Backup
