Servicing Mission-4 was Space Shuttle Atlantis mission STS-125.
There are no more space shuttles to service Hubble anymore.
Oh Woe is us

There are no more space shuttles to service Hubble anymore. Yup. And that is a damned shame. This sad state of affairs should properly be laid at the feet of both parties, as neither stepped up at the appropriate time to make sure we would have access to LEO servicing missions. Hubble has done some amazing science as a result of our ability to service it after orbital insertion. Other satellites benefited from this capability as well.
