Q: My phone has gone into recovery mode, but I want to save my pictures before I restore it. What do I do?

Things can go wrong, even under the best of circumstances. That's why a regular back up procedure is essential. If you have iCloud back up enabled, and you connect your phone to Wifi, plug it in at night and lock the screen, you should never have more than a day old back up. Far better strategy that downloading potentially compromised versions of iOS.

Don't worry, I absolutely agree with you! Wouldn't recommend anyone use this as anything but a last resort. On this occasion though, I didn't have any other option!

IF you got firmware from anyplace other than Apple your phone is now infected with malware or spyware. Change all of your passwords that you ever used from the phone, and restore iOS as NEW using iTunes and let it select the firmware to install

My Mac is a 2012 Macbook Air, so not sure what the issue for you is if your Mac is only 1-2 years old....

That person is just a spammer, GB.

They were a bit more blatant in their other post where they actually posted a link. To, I might add, completely different useless software.

An equal opportunity troll!
