Is iTunes working correctly, has your phone been recognised by iTunes/and your computer?
 
What happened just prior to it getting "stuck"?

1) I installed i tunes on a windows pc
2)i conected the iphone
3) A message showed up stating that i needed to update
4) i clicked on update
5)waited several hours and i got a message saying that itunes could not restore IOS
6) i tried a couple of you tube videos telling me that i needed to use a couple of ways to press the power button and the home button to get it out

Was this iPhone 4 working PRIOR to you doing an update?

Did iTunes recognized the iPhone 4 propr to updating? I assume it did or it would not have allowed the start of the update.

Everything was fine. No erratic behavior
