IPhone 5 in recovery mode how can I save my un-backed-up photos?

My iPhone 5 is in recovery mode, stuck on the connect to iTunes screen, prompting to restore. I have tons of photos on the phone which I have not backed up (stupid, I know). Is there some way I can get them off? Seems crazy that I cant just drag them over using windows explorer or something like that. I sthere any way??!!? Thanks for any ideas! Would an Apple Store be able to help?

Well, somehow I lucked out. Gave up on my photos and went through the restore steps. I re-attached my iPhone which started iTunes and prompted the restore. Initiated that. Then noticed the windows 'autoplay' gui saying 'device options' and i usually dismiss this, but took a chance and chose import pictures and videos, and i got my pictures all copied to my machine very early in the restore process. I guess -- surprised. ??? but happy!

HT1766 iPhone is in recovery mode; how can I keep my iPhone contents (contact, mostly) if I didn't back it up to iCloud?

I saw that iPhone was backed up when I synced music couple of days ago. I'm not sure if it was backed up entirely. My contacts are of utmost importance. Can I restore them?

Backed-up information includes purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books*; photos and video in the Camera Roll; device settings (for example, Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, ***Contacts***, Calendar accounts); app data; Home screen and app organization; Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS), ringtones, and more.

If you did a device backup through iTunes 11, then your contacts should be backed up

I updated the phone before backing it up on iTunes, now the update wanted me to connect the phone with iTunes and it says the phones in recovery mode and it must be restored before its used with iTunes. I go to click restore and it says it will reset it to factory default and I'll lose all my current data. I have all my sons pictures and videos along with this notes. I can't lose all of this data! Please help!

You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....

I was going to say restore it... then you posted mentioning it got dropped in water.
Get it replaced or buy a new phone. You might be able to dry it out by placing it in a bag of uncooked rice or silica gel for a few days to a week, but it will most likely suffere permanent damage.

Iphone in recovery mode, how can i make assure that my data will not erase

firstly thanks for quick reply.
sorry sir,
i am confused in last line you wrote,
" This will erase the phone but you will be given an option at the end to restore to an existing backup, if you have one."
i did not understand last sentence - if i have one? you mean to say if i have data or not in my iphone?
i have many pictures, messages, contacts which are very much important.
so will it be all restore and will be backup again in my iphone if i restore?
i am extremely sorry to interrupt you again.
waiting for your quick reply
thanks and regards,
vishal

sir this reply i received from you -
" That means that if you did not make a backup BEFORE the phone went into recovery mode, then your data is gone.
Once the phone is in recovery mode, anything that was on it is already gone."
My answer -
sir i have icloud account also, and i login in my icloud account on my laptop in icloud.com and i checked there contacts which i had in my iphone that all are available in icloud website in my account.
that means i have backup right? but how i can check my other data , means messages and photos?
please help me to how i can get backup through icloud after restoring my iphone? i will be very glad and helpful by you if you can send me the easy process to take back up from icloud
please reply soon
thanks and regards,
vishal.

Iphone 4s is in recovery mode.how can i restart it without restoring it. it was never backed up yet- i dont want to loose any info from it.

my iphone 4s is in recovery mode somehow- that what itunes says. how can i restart it without restoring it. it was never back up yet and i dont want to loose information from it. itunes says all info will be erased once restored. help pls.

If your phone is in recovery mode, the data is already lost. Hopefully, if you've been using your phone as intended and have been synching and backing up frequently, your data loss will be minimal.

Iphone stuck in recovery mode and can't recover because "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

I have an iPhone 4S and it has been stuck in recovery mode for whatever reason. I have tried using data recovery software that can turn my phone to normal mode but when it tries all my phone does in turn off and then on again, back into recovery mode. I can't use iTunes to recover my phone because it won't let me do it without updating and recovering the iPhone. When I do this it gives me the error "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
Is there any other way I can restore my phone from backup without getting this error?
