How to get out of recovery mode without restoring?(for ios 7)?

I just came back from a trip one day ago and I decided to update to the new software (7.1.2) because while I was traveling, the Wi-Fi was really slow. I've had apple products since 2008 and when I usually update new softwares from my iphone, there isn't any problems. But today, I updated my iphone to the new software and it sent my STRAIGHT TO RECOVERY MODE. This is a big problem for me because I didn't sync my phone yet. So this means that all my photos that I took during my trip will be gone if I restore (since I didn't recover it). Does ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF RECOVERY MODE WITHOUT RESTORING IT? I really need those pictures since that's the only thing I brought while I traveled.

I've tried using holding home + power button method which didn't work.
I've looked up most things on youtube which didn't work.
I've tried to install the tinyumbrella which didn't work.

Any other solutions guys? I really need those photos and went to the Apple store in which they said "restoring is the only solution."

Keep trying the youtube stuff, make sure the video has the same version 7.1.2 that your using. But it could be a possibility that your phone is dead? Take it to your carrier store if you gotta.

Try using Recboot to kick your phone out of recovery mode. Has worked for me on iOS 5.1.1 it may work for iOS 7
