When an iPhone is stuck in restore mode, is there any chance of data recovery?

Sadly, your data is gone. Restore it, then update it. If by chance you synced data with iCloud, such as Photos, Notes, Messages, you can get those back by signing into the phone with the same Apple ID and turning those services back on.

Updating or restoring the iPhone in iTunes will NOT restore the data if the phone is in restore mode. Backups MUST happen before something goes wrong.
Sorry, no, not from the phone. Did you make backups on your computer or iCloud?

Okay, that’s alright. I really appreciate your help! My question is, why is there both options to update and restore? Why is there an option to update if there is no data left? Many Thanks
The update option is more likely to update the iOS version running on the phone, which must be out of date.
Right got it. So it’s essentially trying to update something that is corrupted, like on a PC?
Likely.
What is the exact message which was displayed on your iPhone Screen? Did it show a cable going to a computer?
Basically, classic restore screen with the cable going to the computer, showing up with the apple restore link.
Thankyou so much for just the straight answer. I’m not really too worried about the data anyways, so that’s alright! Is there any way I can give you a review on here or something? 😂
