Actually i had the same error but using idevicerestore on linux (only got a ubuntu XD) the error message is very clear:
BlockFindAll: found 926 blocks but needed 28996
Disk full error
- The volume Data could not be repaired.
volume type is pure HFS+
primary MDB is at block 0 0x00
alternate MDB is at block 0 0x00
primary VHB is at block 2 0x02
alternate VHB is at block 25380774 0x18347a6
sector size = 512 0x200
VolumeObject flags = 0x07
total sectors for volume = 25380776 0x18347a8
total sectors for embedded volume = 0 0x00
CheckHFS returned 8, fsmodified = 0
fsck failed on /dev/disk0s1s2
leaving fsck_filesystems, returning 26
Looks like this error indicates a broken filesystem...

Unit was unable to update no matter what I tried. And it was stuck in recovery mode due to some type of software failure or because the phone was interrupted during an update over wifi. So preserving the data while getting the phone back from recovery mode appears to not be possible (kept getting error 26 all around).
When the unit was restored and updated, it was able to finish and be brought back to working order, albeit with data loss.
Looks like you were correct Rany, the unit's partition table is funked up. Perhaps down the line something like Dr. Fone may be able to resolve this, as of right now that software hasn't been working with any unit on 10.3.1 in recovery mode.

Thank you. Since my original post I started working with 2 companies that can get data by resolving error 26.
