reloading iOS on iphone 4s

I have been given an iphone 4S by a cousin who somehow loaded a weird Chinese UI on his brand new 4S.  iTunes does not recognize this device at all, and I am at a los on how to wipe this phone clean and reload iOS.  This phone has never been activated.  Its just a case of a teenager messing aound and screwing up a perfectly good new phone.  Any ideas PLEASE???

Not all hacks can be recovered from, but put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try a Restore:

If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

If that still doesn't work, then the hack has most likely permanently disabled the iPhone.

Thank you for your response.  I tried both solutions you've mentioned but neither of them work.  The only change I noticed is that when trying recovery mode, at least the computer now reconizes the device, but it doesn't do anything further in itunes.

From looking at the files on the phone, it looks like some kind of a Java hack.  Would appreciate any other ideas.

Sorry, but if even DFU mode doesn't work, the iPhone is probably toast.
