Good luck.

Then you've learned an important lesson about why backing up your iPhone's data is so important.

That's no good...maybe iCloud was still backing it up for you while you were overseas?

Check your iCloud Photostream. Even if your iCloud backup is full, Photostream still works, if you had it turned on.

Photostream has an upper limit of 25,000 photos or 100GB, forup to 30 days.

I don't know if you still need an answer but it maybe helpfull some other time. I entered into Recovery Mode accidently and didn't want to restore the iPhone. You can use TinyUmbrella to exit Recovery and the iPhone will reboot just fine. You can find it here.

Cheers

for exiting from recovery mode you should set auto boot TRUE ...

for this you can use iREB from iH8sn0w , find it with google search download it and after runing

in second tab , click on set auto boot true ... Done .

Joao_Dordio,

You rock and so does TinyUmbrella! I was in the same boat as Traveler but more than the photos was the 5+ GB of music that is only on the iTouch and nowhere else. What a GREAT feeling to not lose years of data !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

re: exiting recovery mode without losing data

FIXED!!!! For me anyway, and I hope for you!

So I tried to update to ios 7 and after downloading the software itunes tried to update my iPad 3. I recieved the error 3004 and was stuck in the "Connect to iTunes" screen and could not get out of it. Completely annoyed!

But then I remembered something from when I used to fiddle with iphones. I opened a program I had called TinyUmbrella, which can be used to force boot out of recovery mode (the "connect to itunes" screen).

My ipad was still connected to itunes and in recovery mode. I opened TinyUmbrella, selected my ipad (which was just shown by the serial number), then clicked "Exit Recovery" and BAM!!! It immediately kicked my out of the recovery screen and started my ipad back up to my home screen.

Now, my ipad was still on 6.1.3 since the update to ios 7 had failed. But I didn't care, my ipad was fully functional again just like I left it before. Thank God for TinyUmbrella! Here's the CNET link for TinyUmbrella if you need it:
