My iPhone 3 is stuck in recovery mode after I tried to upgrade the OS. I left it overnight and when I got up, the iTunes screen only recognized my iPhone in recovery mode. I have so many photos on it that I don't want to lose. Can anyone please help me get these back? I hasn't been updated or synced in nearly 18 months.
