You have an iPhone 4 and not an iPhone 4s that's why you cannot update past iOS 7.1.2.
BTW, iOS 8 is not available anymore it's iOS 9.3.2 at present.

iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s (not plural) are two different models. iPhone 4s is newer than iPhone 4.
iPhone 4 cannot update past iOS 7.1.2 because of the hardware.
