If you're trying to update to iOS 9.3.5. wirelessly, read this support guide:

If you still can't update your iP4s, you need to do it using a computer running the latest iTunes (now 12.8).

If you don't have a computer, borrow one from your friends, or contact your most convenient Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider. They can help you. See this list:
