Try to put your iPhone 4 in DFU mode and then restore it.

You can try these steps below:

1. Try another USB cord.

2. Restart your computer for a try.

3. Hold the power button, it might restart your iPhone.

4. Update your iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPhone.

If iTunes can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help > run diagnostics.

On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPhone and then restore iPhone from iTunes backup.

I once met this problem and here is the way I did when iPhone stuck in recovery mode:

1.Press down the Home and Power buttons on your iPhone until it shuts off.

2.Connect it to your computer with the USB cable.

3.Press and hold down the Home button.

4.Hold it down until iTunes says your device is entering recovery mode.
