IOS6 error, now in recovery mode! HELP PLEASE!

Somebody please help me! Earlier today, i think my phone started downloading the rest of iOS6 when i was in the range of wifi. I had previously downloaded around 50% of iOS6 before it was cancelled. Then today the rest of iOS6 must have downloaded and I had a pop up message on my iPhone 4S screen saying Verifying Update. Then the iPhone rebooted and came up with the logo with a white loading bar underneath it. This finished and then the iPhone turned off. I turned it on and then it said please connect to iTunes, i did so and it has told me it is in recovery mode and will not work with iTunes until i recover it. I have not made a backup for a long time and there is some very important information on my phone at the moment and it would really be upsetting to restore it. I have tried various softwares such as Tiny Umbrella and iReb and RedSnow, with all of these I can manage to get it into DFU mode and also to start up but it just goes on a loop of the turning on apple logo for about 1 minute and then it turns off and does it again.
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP I WILL DO ANYTHING!
Nick

This took me over 24 hours to fix. I did it through redsnow, and extras, using the restore recovery loop tab. I cannot believe it actually worked. I phoned Apple support earlier today, spoke to two seperate technicians who were adamant that my phone had a hardware fault, they wanted in the region of £125 to fix/replace it, there was no way I would accept this.
My phone stopped working when it tried to update via itunes to iOS6. Then it got stuck in this recovery/restore loop and the technicians at apple almost convinced me it was a hardware fault. Then after lots of searching, I installed redsnow, and followed the instructions under 'extras' and its working. Currently downloading all my music back on to my phone as I type. I believe the update caused the problem in the first place, very very frustrating, especially when they were going to take money off me to 'fix' it. I am 103 days after my hardware warranty they said, I paid £600 for the phone, and the thought of being without it almost had me in tears!

HT201210 my iphone is having error 2003 when i try to take it out of recovery mode help please?

i am trying to get my iphone 3g out of recovery mode cause its been like that for a long time and when i try to restore it is giving me error 2003

Have you tried manually downloading the firmware and when you get to the restore screen you hold down either shift or ctrl which will pop up with a menu that will let you choose the firmware of your choice. I'll look more into error 2003
*i know some of these problems may be due to lack of power on the usb port, or the data transfer cord has problems such as low power or one way transfer. have you tried a different computer for the restoration or another cord?

Update to 4.3 now in recovery mode help?

I have tried uninstalling and installing itunes and relevant things that go with it but to no avail. Getting rather fed up now can anyone give me any ideas? During the installation process it did say that ApplySync Notifier could not be installed this maybe the problem but dont know where to look for it to install it?

I'm not sure that you're using the term "dfu mode" correctly. Please describe what you see.

My iPhone 4 is stuck in recovery mode, help please!

Hi everyone. I've tried every posisble solution from finding answers on here but nothing is working for me.
Now here's my story:
My iPhone4 is jailbroken and has been for a few months now with no problems. Yesterday I went to make a phone call and after the phone call I wasn't able to exit the screen with the 'Home' button, so I turned off my phone. I then turned it back on, entered my passcode, and then tried going into Instagram and it also wouldn't let me exit using the 'Home' button. So I decided to hook my iPhone up to my computer after finding someone having the same problem, and they said they just had to upgrade to the latest firmware. So I tried this today... hooked up my phone and iTunes popped up. I clicked to 'Restore' and once it downloaded everything it said it could not be restored because of 1013 error. My phone neded up going into recovery mode where the iTunes logo is on my iPhone screen. I tried exiting recovery mode by downloading the latest version of tinyumbrella but it wouldn't recognize my iPhone. My iPhone shows up with the serial number on tinyumbrella instead of "Kati's iPhone" and iTunes also won't recognize it. When I clicked "Exit Recovery" I then exited out of tinyumbrella and the apple icon showed up on my iPhone. I then tried opening iTunes and it went back to the iTunes screen on my phone. I tried clicking "restore" but it said my phone is in recovery mode and I need ot exit recovery mode. What do I do to exit recovery mode and get my phone working again? I'm on a PC, not a Mac. I"m freaking out that I may have totally broken my iPhone and will have to buy a new one Also, I'mpretty sure I'm running in 4.3.2, but I'm not sure.

Your BEST bet is to go to an Apple store and let them recover your phone.

I upgraded to 7.0.4 on my iphone 4s and now it isn't working and itunes states that it is recovery mode - help

I upgraded to 7.0.4 on my iphone 4s and now it isn't working and itunes states that it is in recovery mode - help - I don't want to do a factory restore!!!!

If you're phone is in recovery mode, then all your data is already wiped off. you'll need to proceed if you want to use your phone.
However after it is done recovering, you can restore back from your backp.
You do backup on a regular basis right?

Try the steps:
How to perform a recovery-mode restore
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is already showing the "Connect to iTunes" screen, please go to step 5.
Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
Use iTunes to restore the device.
