There is, its just not the solution you seem to be hoping for. See KiltedTim's reply for the only realistic solution.

Hi Team,
I have iphone4 16GB with iOS 5.1.1. While using the phone, few times the phone is automatically going to shutdown and getting call disconnected. Some times, it happens more frequently in a day, sometimes not.
and also, How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only. I am not looking for iOS 7 right now. Please suggest the update process?You cannot. You can only upgrade to the currently supported version of the iOS which, at this time is iOS 7.0.2.

HT4623 How do I update my iphone 5 to the new ios7 software using itunes on my computer?
How do I update my iphone 5 to the new ios7 software using itunes on my computer?
Just for clarity, do you have iTunes 11.1 now on your computer? If yes, when you connect your iPhone via your USB / Lightning cable is your iTunes opening with a small box near the top right of screen that shows your iPhone connected? If yes then you can click through the various views of your iPhones content areas, such as Music, Photos, etc. You will eventually get to a screen that is Status. On that screen you should see the iOS Update option.

HT4623 How do I update my Iphone 4 to IOS 6 rather than IOS 7?
How do I update my Iphone 4 to IOS 6 rather than IOS 7:
You cannot. iTunes won't install iOS versions older than the latest compatible release with any given device, and if one's somehow installed anyway, Apple's servers won't activate the device afterwards.

To expand on the 1/2-answer that Diesel gave;
The first thing you should look into is which version of iTunes you have. If you're not running iTunes 10, then you're not going to be able to update your phone past iOS 4.2.
Depending on what kind of system you're using, there are several reasons why your iTunes may be out of date:
In the Mac world, if you're not running a version of OS/X newer than 10.5.x (Leopard) then iTunes won't upgrade to the latest version (10). If you have a pre-2006 G-series processor Mac, you're pretty-much stuck at 10.4.x (Tiger) or lower and, sadly, Apple/iTunes doesn't support those machines any more. If your Mac is newer than 2006 but older than 2008, you'll likely be stuck at finding a copy of Snow Leopard (10.6.x) and you need to see your local Apple service provider to see if they can get you updated.
If you're running a Windows workstation, I believe that any Windows machine that's still running XP patched to Service Pack 2 or later should still be able to install and use iTunes 10. The system requirements can be found on the iTunes download page. If for some reason your iTunes has stopped doing its updates (or won't do them) you'll probably need to re-install iTunes. Installing over-top of the old iTunes should work and you won't loose any of your data - however, just in case, you should back-up your computer prior to making any significant changes to the software.
Now, Diesel also made the assumption that you may only have a 3G phone and not a 3Gs. To verify this not the case, plus for anyone who may be reading this and has any doubt, this link will help you identify your phone. iOS 5 and later does not support phones older than the 3Gs, and its unlikely that your cellular service provider will for very long either.
Good luck. -

How in the world do I updated my iphone 4 from ios 4.2.1 to ios 6.?
This is not working for me. Please help. I have connected through iTunes version 11.0.1.12 and I have also restored the phone. iTunes states that this is the current version of 4.2.1. Cannot figure out how to update to 6.0.
Thanks!
Ps My phone is a 3g but apple says it should support 6.0.
