I would try DFU Mode then set up as new device. Not restoring any of the back-ups. There are several helpful stickies on how to restore via Itunes on DFU Mode.

well i really dont know whats happening i tried the dfu mode (you need to turn your device off. When it is completely off, push and hold the power button. Count to 5 and then push and hold the home button (keeping the power button pressed down still). Count to 10 and then let go of the power button (keeping the home button pressed down). Count to 30 and you should hear some notification.) then i plug the usb cord into my laptop then still the apple logo appear but the itunes detect it and said that the software needs to be updated then i press the download and update and now its still downloading it says iphone software update(5hours)--fail lol....will it really take that long?

 

[YanzGalaxyY]

so its still downloading the software dunno if it will be okay...just wondering if then battery will last though

 

[YanzGalaxyY]

could i unplug the usb cord while downloading the software? coz i think the battery will be empty soon....btw why didnt they design it that when plug into usb cord the iphone will also charge the batt? i mean dunno if it really does coz its emptying my batt.

[YanzGalaxyY]

thx a lot sir..now i already turned off the firewall and my avast....i dont know if its really just my connection...im still downloading it...i gues around 12 hrs already..actually its 81hrs remaining that is in the itunes...so i really search for other way...and found out(very slow) that i could download the ios now my problem is that when i search it ..it appears that iphone 4 maybe gsm,cdma or S? how would i know what is mine in its current state that it wont start

Your phone is the 4, it even says it on the iTunes screen that you provided. A GSM iPhone 4 has a SIM tray on the right side of the phone, a CDMA 4 doesn't.

 

[YanzGalaxyY]

ahhhmm hehehe sorry im totally newbie with iphone....so what firmware will i download? the S? GSM? or CDMA? i guess ill just download the S since i really dont know if this iphone4 is gsm or cdma coz i cant open it...

thanks guys for paying attention to this thread...you really help me a lot...

No. Your device is not the 4S, so you won't be able to use it, it'll give you an error. As I've said, check whether the right side of the iPhone has a SIM tray or not. If it does it's the iPhone 4 GSM. If it doesn't it's the iPhone 4 CDMA. From your screenshot, it says the device is an iPhone 4, not an iPhone 4S. If it's a 4S, it'll say 4S instead of 4.
