Well you got two options:
Try to turn it off for a couple hours (will not work and you'll be crying while waiting to work)
Reset & check if iTunes got anything saved (mine does automatic backups!)
Good luck and you can always start over and get new stuff? :D
Think positive!

well you should've backed up ....I think only other way is to install the update (restore to factory setting) ...happened to me while i was jailbreaking but i had all my my stuff backed up

If you plugged into iTunes to update, I think it would have backed up everything right before it attempted the update. Then just plug it in again and follow the instructions and select the back up file.
If you just did OTA... not sure what to do. Go to the nearest Apple store?

You actually need to go through iTunes for everything, unlike a phone from any other brand where you can just plug it in and copy your data manually.
And if iTunes decides it doesn't recognize your phone, then you're screwed. One of the many reasons I hate Apple and their products. The one time I've had a phone die on me (due to water damage) I just took the SD card and put it in my new phone and voilà, data transferred.

Today, I decided that I wanted to update my iPhone 4s to IOS 8.1 to get some apps. The update downloaded to my device, and then continued to install. I clicked install now, and my phone turned off...and then would not turn on again. It finally turned on, however the service would not work and I could not make any phone calls. I decided to try and install the update again, and now my phone is stuck in the "connect to iTunes" screen. My data is not backed up, and I am extremely afraid that I will lose EVERYTHING. I have countless images and recordings that I need to save. I've tried downloading various programs on my mac, but none of them are working to exit recovery mode.
Please somebody help me. I can't afford another phone right now, and more importantly, I need to get this data back.
iPhone 4S, iOS 8.1
