IPhone 5 iOS 7 fail and stuck on recovery mode, don't want data to be erased?

I tried updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 without Dev.account. It failed and now I'm stuck on Recovery Mode. I want to restore and downgrade, but I don't wanna lose all my media like photos, videos and apps. Any solution?

Take it to the apple store

You can't downgrade.
wait for the official release or get a $99 dev account

Actually, you should backup your iPhone 5 before the iOS 7 upgrade. In this case, there seems to be no solution to avoid the iPhone data loss unless you operate aright and carefully!

Personally, iOS beta is not good enough to use. So we had better to wait for the real iOS 7 that has been said to release at fall.

However, even you have no bakup and unfortunatelly to lose data from your iPhone 5, you can use something like a recover tool for iPhone to recover the erased data.

Here, Tenorshare iPhone data recovery is recommended. If needed, get it on google with "windows passwords recovery iPhone data recovery"

You need to get your device's UDID registered As soon as possible with a developer account, or your device could get disabled by Apple. I did mine at http://www.instantudid.com/ and I've been running iOS 7 without any problems on my 4S.

  • My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode & I don't want to restore! - 1 ITunes failed an update on my phone so it's in recovery mode. I have over 1000 pictures that I don't want to lose. I tried the redsn0w thing that's supposed to work but you have to put your phone in DFU mode which I can't do becouse MY HOME BUTTON DOESN'T WORK. What can I do?
  • Iphone stuck in recovery mode after updating to IOS 7 beta? 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. I tried different tutorials but I just can't get it working again, please help!
  • Iphone 5c stuck in recovery mode and Itunes won't recognize the phone, or that its in recovery mode? I tried updating to IOS 8 and it has the connect to itunes screen. Well i plugged it into my computer and opened itunes and got no notifications or anything. I really don't know what to do. I've seen online something about DFU mode… But i don't know what that is, is it jailbreaking? Will it erase my phone? Also. My phone is not backed up so help please.
