Again, the hardware on your phone is simply not capable of running iOS 11. The core processor in your phone won't work with it, under ANY condition. So no, there is no way. If you want to take advantage of iOS 11, get a newer phone capable of running it.

No there is not for one very simple reason. The Apple A4 processor in an iPhone 4 is a 32-bit processor. It is literally physically incapable of running the purely 64-bit iOS 11 operating system code. There is no software trick to overcome basic physical hardware limitations.
