Iphone 4S stuck in recovery mode from IOS 6.1 update?

Hi, I tried to update my phones software and up popped the "connect to itunes" logo. When i got to itunes it said i have to restore my phone but i don't want to lose all of my photos and data because i have some pretty important things on there. Are there any ways to get it back to normal without restoring everything? Its not jailbroken.

Actually this type case is very sensitive. If you get then you will lost the data and documents. That will not be good. OK. I can give you a address which may be help you as far as I know they very expert in this of case.

I would be weary of clicking on links posted on these things, as a lot of them contain Malware. The best advice I could give to you would be to hold down the stand-by button and the home button at the same time for 30 seconds (or however long it takes to reset), and hope that it fixes it. Doing this will cause it to do a soft reset. If this doesn't work, I would take it into an Apple store and ask them what your best bet would be. A lot of the stuff is protected from users to ensure proper function.

I'm not lecturing (this happens to the best of us,) but in the future I would keep a back up of your phone. Or at least let it sync with the cloud. If it was synced with iCloud, it wouldn't matter if you lost your photos, contacts, events, etc. They'd all come back as soon as you logged into with your Apple ID.

Hope this helps.

I tried updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 7 beta, without developers account, using restore + shift on itunes and clicking my downloaded IOS 7 firmware. This failed at a certain part, it said error 1934 or something, at that point my phone was still working, then I tried again and it became stuck in recovery mode.
