I see nothing wrong with your code
just check your image or try with a rounded rect image to test

UIButton* button4 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[button4 setFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 25.0f, 25.0f)];
[button4 addTarget:self action:@selector(back) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *random1 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button4];

and use
self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.leftBarButtonItem=random1;
instead of
self.navigationController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem=random1;
