To fix an iPhone stuck in Recovery Mode without losing data, connect it to a computer and choose Update (not Restore) in Finder or iTunes. This reinstalls iOS while preserving your data. If the update fails, you may need to try again or use trusted iOS repair software before considering a full restore.
If your iPhone gets itself into the Recovery Mode, you should try to update the iOS system using Finder or iTunes, as this could restore and reinstall iOS without wiping any data. If updating does not succeed, it might be necessary to restore the device from a backup following data recovery attempts.
If the iPhone is stuck in Recovery Mode, I'd first try a force restart since it doesn't erase any data. If that doesn't work, use Finder on a Mac or iTunes on Windows and choose Update instead of Restore when prompted, as Update reinstalls iOS without deleting your files. If neither option works, restoring the device is usually the last resort, so hopefully you have an iCloud or computer backup just in case.
In order to leave recovery mode without erasing your iPhone's content, you may need to do a force restart first and then use Finder/itunes to update iOS.
