It is definitely a bad luck when you are going to update your iPhone to iOS 7 but get stuck in recovery mode. That's annoying when iTunes shows you the "Error 3004" or other numbers or warnings. If your iPhone gets stuck in recovery mode, the first thing you may want to try is holding the home button and the power button at mean time till the screen gets black and then start the iPhone again. This is a simplest way to troubleshoot the problem. If you don't get your iPhone back to life, you may want to send it to the Apple Store.

After you get the fixed iPhone from the Apple Store, you may find that some of the data in your iPhone are lost. This might not be the problem of the Apple Store, but the problem of the updating itself. If you want to recover the lost files from your iPhone, you can restore iPhone with the iTunes backup. However, if you only lost part of the data, and the iTunes backup is a little out of date, you may not want to use that backup. At this moment, you'd better use iPhone data recovery software to show you how to recover lost data from iPhone when iPhone stuck in recovery mode because you are able to preview and choose the data to recover, and you won't be frustrated about which data are lost.

I would like to introduce Leawo iOS Data Recovery to you, as this software will not only help you get back the lost data from iTunes backup, but also recover the lost data from you iOS devices.
