Free iPad iPhone iPod Touch Jailbreak Support > How do I get out of the Recovery Mode loop without iTunes' recoveriing ?

My phone was in DFU mode and I was using Wundershare Dr. Fone to retrieve deleted Contacts. Midway, the USB connectivity snapped and the phone got disconnected from the tool. I unplugged it from the comp as the tool didn't give any Exit DFU mode options as it could not detect my device. Did a Hard reboot and since then it shows the connect to iTunes visual on the screen.
I'm clueless as to how it slipped into Recovery from DFU

Ive tried all the tips and tricks mentioned on the web to get my phone to boot normally but nothing has worked yet for past 2 days.
Have tried tools like RecBoot, EasyiRecovery, iREB-r6 and they've failed to kick it out of this limbo.
Tinyumbrella refuses to start up on my PC. Gives an error- "Unable to validate library........loading anyways" then shows "Reticulating splines" and just fizzes out.

PLEASE help......I can't opt for Recovery as there's no backup done for a long while either on iTunes or iCloud. I don't want to lose all the apps and contacts.
If there is ANY WAY TO RETRIEVE APPS AND CONTACTS LOST AFTER RECOVERY, do let me know as that would be next best thing to getting it out of recovery.

Sincere thanks in advance!

I wish I could help. All I can say is that in the future I highly recommend setting up an automatic icloud backup via wifi. It will automatically back up everything every day, which means when something like this comes up it's no big deal.

If none of the apps you've described were able to help you, though: you're probably out of options and will need to restore whatever back up you happen to have.
