Backing Up a Disabled Iphone 6 In recovery mode?

Question

Hi all thanks for considering helping me, my Iphone 6's screen broke and because of that it typed a passcode wrong so many times its disabled I want to back it up so I can put my data on a new phone. Apple Support and Itunes don't help as it wont update so the only option is to wipe it. I've downloaded some third party software but my computer only recognises that the iphone is connected when it is in DFU or Recovery mode each software requires it to go back to "normal" mode before it can backup without itunes so I'm really desperate my last backup was 6 months ago does anyone know of a way to backup an iphone in recovery/DFU mode (without leaving said mode) or force the computer to recognise that the iphone is connected so I can use tenorshare or dr.fone to retrieve my data. I have tried restarting, a new cable so my only option seems to be going to a data retrivial place which is incredibly expensive please help me :)

Simple answer: you can’t.

The data on your iPhone is all encrypted. If you failed to back it up before the phone went wrong and can no longer enter the correct security credentials then the data on that phone is no longer readable by anyone; not even Apple can recover it in a meaningful form.

There’s no bypass, no back door, no hacks and no other tricks.

All you can do now is to accept the loss, learn from your mistake by setting up automatic iCloud backups (1TB of storage just 2.99 per month £/$/€), and remember to regularly ensure redundant backups by connecting to iTunes or to Finder (iOS13 onwards).

Sooner or later all of us get complacent and lose a load of valuable data. If you’re wiser than me, you’ll learn the lesson the very first time it happens.
