IPhone 5s Stuck in Recovery Mode? - 1

I had attempted to update my iPhone 5s to whatever the new IOS is through itunes and while waiting for it to finish installing, it stopped for some reason and now the phone is stuck in recovery mode. I've try countless things, the problem is- I want to keep what's on this phone and most of the ways to fix this is to just completely make the phone factory settings?

I have large amounts of pictures I want to keep and have on this phone but I can't access them and I do not want to delete them. As well as important text messages and some apps.

Please, If there's any way to fix my phone and keep my stuff tell me!
I've already spent over 4 hours trying different ways from different people having the same problem.

You have a few options…

1. If you have them backed up to iCloud (go to iCloud.com and login to see, click photos…) then you don't need to worry. ICloud backup backs up all texts and photos…

2. Plug the phone into your computer. Press cancel on the popup if it doesn't give the option to either UPDATE or RESTORE. If not then hold down the lock button and the home button on your phone until the connect to iTunes symbol shows on the screen, AND a popup appears on the computer. The popup should give the option to UPDATE or RESTORE. You want to click UPDATE. That will not delete any data…

Number two should fix your phone… Once corrected, backup the phone to iTunes or iCloud immediately! Computer is a better idea though… Reply and let me know if it worked!
