how do i get my iphone out of recovery mode

Press home button and lock button in the same time until apple logo appears..

Why did you update it with your laptop? You can update OTA now which would have solved your problem. You can just do a restore then select you backup to restore to the phone. As long as you back up nightly like I do to icloud you should be fine.

Try to connect it.. Maybe it will continue to update..

I suggest you not to restore it now.. Search it on google.. Because I ever got a problem like this before and it continue to update.. But I forgot how to fix this problem.. Try google it..

Oh yeah. Maybe I remember it.. Just click the restore button. It'll update your phone.. Maybe.. Restore it..

Reply me if it works..

Do you have the backup file?? If you have it, you don't need to worry.. Just restore it

If your phone is in recovery mode you have no choice but to restore it. All the data on it is already lost if it is in recovery mode, you will have to restore it and when setting it up again at the end of the restore process your phone will restart and you will have to set it up again as you did when it was new. In the process you will be given the option to restore it from and iTunes or iCloud backup. If you have been backing up to iCloud choose that (be sure to plug your phone in to a wall charger as this will take hours to complete). If you haven't been backing up to iCloud choose restore from iTunes backup, then restore from the backup you created the last time you synced your phone. If it won't restore in recovery mode by connecting it to iTunes you will have to try putting it in DFU mode to restore it, as described here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0.

I just updated to IOS 5.1.1 over Wifi, and same problem happened to me. The phone requests to be connected to ITunes and then ITunes statest that the phone is in recovery mode and that the phone should be restored to factory settings.

I tried restoring and it seems that the entire it is blocked in this mode (i.e. after the restore, I still get the same message).

So not only I loose all the data that was not backed up, but on top of it I can't even use my phone now...

I therefore need a solution and quick as I use this phone for work...

From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694:

Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

1. Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
2. Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
3. Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
4. Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
5. There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
6. Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
7. Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
