My iPhone 5c is stuck in recovery mode

Question

I updated to iOS 10 2 days ago, and today I was listening to music on my phone when all of a sudden it turned off and the Apple logo came up. I thought that if i waited a few minutes it would turn back on but it didn&#x27;t. I then tried charging it but it still wouldn&#x27;t do anything. I looked up on the internet what to do and did exactly as it told me: I connected it to my laptop with a USB; I pressed the lock and home button then let go of the lock; iTunes came up on my laptop screen and said it found my device in recovery mode; I tried restoring it; it had worked and my phone had turned back on; I began setting it up and after connecting it to WiFi it began connecting to iTunes. I don&#x27;t know what happened after that, as my phone turned off all of a sudden. I went through the process of restoring it again, only to find that it kept disconnecting after updating the software. I&#x27;ve tried multiple times but the Apple logo keeps appearing on the screen and nothing happens.I risked losing all my data that I haven&#x27;t backe
