If you are already in recovery mode, then your data have already been removed. To late to backup now.

SO that means, i should simply throw it out of my window.. I didnt understand why it got in recovery mode while playing game it simply turned off and restarted and when i tried to unlock it turned off and never turned back on.. Is Apple logo displaying and phone nor turning on is recovery mode?

Black screen with Apple logo is Recovery mode. It doesn't go into recovery mode out of the clear blue. Perhaps it's trying to reboot. But it if won't turn on, then you need to take it in for service or throw it out the window. Your choic

Recovery mode doesn't mean that all your data is already lost. You only lose your data if you restore it.

When you plug the phone is into iTunes hold down the home button. iTunes may then give you the option JUST to update the software first. This should not get rid of any data.

However, if iTunes is only giving you the option to RESTORE and update, then you will lose your data I'm afraid.

Hope that helps!
