To put the iPhone into recovery mode so you can do an iTunes firmware restore follow these steps.
UPDATE: Apple has introduced a new method to entering Recovery Mode. You can find instructions and a video demonstrating the new method here.
Step One Open iTunes and connect the iPhone to your Mac.
Step Two Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
Step Three As soon as the screen goes black release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.

1.Turn your iPhone off by holding down the sleep/wake button (on the right side on iPhone 6 and up, on the top corner on all other iPhones). Hold until the slider appears at the top and then swipe the slider. If your phone doesn't respond, hold the sleep/wake button and the Home button together until the screen goes dark (on an iPhone 7 series, hold volume down instead of Home)
2. Connect your iPhone to your computer. If you don't have a computer, you'll need to go to the Apple Store or borrow one
3. Perform a hard reset on the phone. Do this by holding down the sleep/wake button and the Home button at the same time (again, on iPhone 7 use volume down). Continue holding for at least 10 seconds. If the Apple logo appears on the screen, keep holding
4. Let go of the buttons when the Connect to iTunes screen appears (it's the image of the cable and iTunes icon shown at the top of this article). The phone is now in recovery mode
5. A window pops up in iTunes offering to let you Update or Restore the phone. Click Update. This tries to resolve the problem without erasing your data
6. If Update fails, read this www.recovery-tool.com/ios-recovery/recover-iphone-in-recovery-mode.html
Once iPhone stuck in Recovery mode, you invariably have to Restore.
Regarding your iPhone Data Recovery

PS: Genius bar will not help you in personal data recovery in any manner.
Moral: Always backup your data periodically.
My iPhone stuck on recovery mode after iOS update so i searched google for help. To my surprise, i got a free tool to enter and exit iPhone recovery mode without holding home or power button, you just need to click the button on the main interface to choose to put iPhone into or out of recovery mode with one click. Totally free download is available here on CNET: http://download.cnet.com/ReiBoot/3000-18553_4-76037571.html
You require iTunes if you want to recover your iPhone/iPod/iPad. This thread only tells you how to get the phone set so it can be recovered due to problems such as: Malfunction, Forgotten Passcodes, locked for about 1M minutes (Happened to me that's why i'm here), etc. Do remember that this WILL delete ANY and ALL data on the device that requires restoration.
