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

@Digital311--THANK YOU! Your advice saved my husbands phone content!

How do you know that it didn't install spyware, and is sending everything on your phone to a hacker? You would have no way of knowing.

Well first, iOS is secure and there is no way there is spyware or iOS viruses.

Two, there isn't signs of viruses on my iPad.

BTW, its an iPad not an iPhone

This isn't android! As I said there's no chance of hackers nor any type of malware.

Anyways, I just restored it fresh from within iTunes and restoring from my backup.

Okay, is this domain apple (What iTunes downloads from)

"appldnld.apple.com"

And no I have never jailbroken my iPad

I was going by your earlier post, where you said you downloaded from "Ipsw me"

My iPhone 6s just locked up after doing a software update. No back up. Going nuts! Apple said there is nothing that can be done. I just need my photos. Any thing you can suggest.

Did you get an error? If so, which did you get?

Edit: if you didn't back it up already and Apple said there is nothing they can do, unless it's a software issue, your data is gone

Error (14)

I tried it all. Multiple cords and computers. Other devices sync up no problem. What about a 3rd party vendor ? Even brought to the Apple Store. Same ****.. 🏼♂

What state, exactly, is your device in now? What do you see on the screen?

GB

I'm in New York. It's stuck on screen telling me to plug into iTunes.

Lol ok. So no way to recover some pictures? Some people say yes.. and some say no.. very confusing. The phone is not backed up so that is not an option.

Thanks. it works :-)
