Wait, so every time you update to Oreo, you lose your IMEI? That should not happen, and if it keeps happening when you update, I would therefore suggest you stay on Nougat and disable the OTA updater.

Hi, I phone is hardbricked. I tried the flash file and now in Fastboot mode. The devices boots only into fastboot mode, i.e recovery isn't working the device doesn't boot into recovery.
Here are the details of my device.
Is there anyway to recover this device? If yes what should i do? Only fastboot is working, If i flash the partition gpt.bin i get the following error,

After booting into the bootloader, The led light isn't flashing i guess it should be flashing but it isn't. When i toogle to recovery and hit the power button it is stucked doesn't boot into recovery.
That error you're getting with preflash validation error is from trying to flash bootloader firmware older than your bootloader. You cannot downgrade your bootloader, and as such your device will report a 'security version downgrade' message. From the evidence, it looks like your device used to be on Nougat (B1:07 bootloader version, so December 2017 security patch or newer), and you downgraded to Marshmallow as identified by your device's build fingerprint. Thus, I'm guessing you took the December 2016 Nougat OTA update and hard bricked?
If you tried the flash file, you likely have a basic bootloader, and now require a full firmware flash of newer firmware than you currently are trying to use. You could flash only the GPT and bootloader from a newer firmware than you have (I recommend flashing the most recent Nougat firmware to get around that error message, NPJS25.93-14-18, April 2018 firmware), however, if you proceed to use stock OTA updates without full flashing you will likely hard brick again.
I would strongly recommend you download at least the most recent Nougat firmware from here https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 and use that to flash. If you do not wish to erase your existing data, you can follow the following flashing commands instead of those in the mentioned thread, however, I would prepare to factory reset your device if you do encounter instability.

I flashed the latest Nougat ROM, still the device is half dead, only fastboot working. No recovery and Not booting.
Update: If i toggle through bootloader and hit factory mode, The device says it's unlocked and gonna boot after 5 seconds but it doesn't boot up. I'm just stuck with the bootloader but looking at the logs i can see that the ROM had been flashed sucessfully but why isn't it still booting up? Should i try the Oreo ROM?

Hmm, looks like that flash didn't update your device. Though the flashing commands reported okay, the getvar info indicates you still have marshmallow on your device ( bootloader) ro.build.fingerprint[1]: MPJ24.139-63/64:user/release-keys
I'd try flashing again, this time including the fastboot erase userdata command. If you can, input the commands one by one (copy and paste sequentially and press enter to execute). You could try the Oreo firmware, however the fact your device appears not to update after a stock firmware flash is concerning.
Hi, Thanks for your help. The flash didn't work, It's not updating as you said but the flashing command works and states that the flash went through well, I have tried the oreo ROM also it isn't working, There could be any hardware problem like IC burnout something of that kind etc? I would like to find out the exact reason why the flash isn't getting updated to the device even though the logs says the flash as completed successfully.
Hi have a broken bootloader which doesn't gets updated or flashes done to it isn't working as expected!!.
What could be the possible reasons for the flash not updating?

C:\Users\Jay\Desktop\Moto G4\April_ROM>What could be the possible reasons for the flash not updating?
Last edited:
Thanks for trying the flash - I don't know the exact reason for the flash not writing properly to your device, or if it is, your device is not recognising the updated firmware. From what I've seen, this could indicate a hardware failure, which usually requires a motherboard replacement. You could try seeing if a JTAG or mobile repair centre could try to flash to the memory directly. If not, then that may require a service centre replacement and given the age of the device, I leave it up to you if you choose to repair or spend your money on a newer device.
What device do you have? How did your device hardbrick? This procedure will generally only work if your device hard bricked after using an old OTA update (i.e. you downgraded your device with old stock firmware and bricked from flashing an old OTA update). For other reasons, including sudden failures not involving updates, this procedure may not work.
Oh okay. It's moto g4plus and no I haven't used any updates. It happened all of a sudden after I put it for charging. Maybe it's time to buy a new one. Thanks for your response :good:
It has worked wonders for me... My Moto G4 Plus was dead since 2018. I tried multiple solutions ... but no luck.
Finally today (22-Sep-2020), I came accross this article and it was panacea for my phone!!!
Thanks a ton ... Outfield303

Anybody would share me the link for Blankflash zip would be helpful.
Google drive has been taken down.
Google drive has been taken down.
i have a strange problem. the phone video is choppy (laggy) ( its like 1fps) audio is fine. touch response is like 1000ms . initially i thought it might be a software issue or a replacement screen issue . i flashed the latest official rom via bootloader. the problem was still there. next i thought it is the problem with the lcd and digitizer which could be faulty. so i decided to troubleshoot it by screen mirroring via USB. now the issue is even the mirrored images on the desktop is choppy ( if i play a video on youtube the audio is fine but the video skips the frames ) now is this a problem with the adreno GPU?
I have a LG Qstylus plus phone, and it was bricked. My problem is my phone was in black screen and won't be rebooted again, even in fastboot mode because the bootloader was locked. I have seen a light after I saw your method to boot the phone. Can you help me ? The original post is https://xdaforums.com/t/my-lg-q-stylo-plus-bricked-please-help-save.4223161/

Hello guys,
as you guys know lots of Athenes are bricked due to the last June security patch and latest blankflash's also were not working.
and there was also some confusion between which blankflash to flash and which boot-loader and gpt files to flash.. So I will try to clarify this confusion at my best.....
so lets get started......
So, First of all download the latest BlankFlash by @marcelofilgueira [ MANY MANY HUGE THANKS TO HIM ]
Here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9rhtqQ4ZTDnTWdpX3ZaVk1pNk0/view
There is a New BlankFlash file Provided by @rajatgupta1998
https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79013024&postcount=523
It is available here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397903736
I can't test this blankflash because I don't have G4 Plus anymore...
and Then connect your phone to PC( Your phone should Be detected as QualcommLoader or something like that in device manager under the ports section )
Once connected, extract the Blankflash zip and run Blank-Flash.bat
A command window will be open and it will flash some files to your phone....
after 5-6 sec, your Phone will be rebooted to Fastboot Mode First sign of Life.... lol
But process is not over yet....
Now download the latest Bootloader and GPT files for the version NPJS25.93-14-8 Thanks to @tywinlannister7 and @echo92
HERE : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-GUyOfb8Ogzamt6ME5fYncwdjg
And if above files won't work then here are the Sept Patch Files of GPT and Bootloader : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-GUyOfb8Ogzc25FdW1WUDBMS1U/view
and Also here are the GPT and boot-loader files for December patch if above won't worked : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IfAX7v94ooB5wS7KTJGNYfQ2kXkHxP80
and extract them into New folder. and don't forget to copy ADB and the fastboot files into that folder.
ADB and Fastboot DOWNLOAD HERE : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298979521
Hold Shift key and press right key on the mouse and click on open command window in that folder and Paste the following command and then press Enter :
Code:fastboot flash partition gpt.bin fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once done then You can see the Fastboot mode on your screen....
The next step is easy, You just need to flash stock ROM, But you just can't flash older ROM i.e. downgrade this time, Otherwise your device can be bricked again...
So I will recommend you to download latest ROM NPJS25.93-14-10 and Flash it. Thanks to @tywinlannister7 for providing the ROM
DOWNLOAD LINK : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9tngVBGIajVQkQtLUUxR2NOTnc
LATEST DECEMBER ROM: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291698845
Download it and then just extract it in and don't forget copy ADB and the fastboot files into that folder. Once done then Hold shift and press right key on mouse then select Open Command window here from that menu.
then use this code to flash stock ROM :
And that's it!! You will get your Athene Back to LifeCode:fastboot oem fb_mode_set fastboot flash partition gpt.bin fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img fastboot flash logo logo.bin fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot flash recovery recovery.img fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin fastboot flash oem oem.img fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6 fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7 fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin fastboot erase modemst1 fastboot erase modemst2 fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn fastboot erase cache fastboot erase userdata fastboot erase customize fastboot erase clogo fastboot oem fb_mode_clear fastboot reboot pause
I got my Athene back to life using this method............
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If You've Updated your Device to the February Security Patch Then this method probably won't work because the GPT and boot-loader version is higher then the version included inside the BlankFlash
So Be Careful...!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now anyone who's getting errors, see post #2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Credits :
blankflash.zip provided by @marcelofilgueira HUGE THANKS TO HIM
Thanks to @strongst for being always there to help
Thanks to tywinlannister7 for latest June Stock ROM
and also thanks to you guys for reading this........
if you like my work then please HIT that THANKS button 5Reserved 1
Now anyone who is getting 'Waiting for devices' error while flashing, here are some tips to fix it :
1) Remove the USB cable and reinsert it
2) Make Sure your device is detected in Bootloader interface aka Fastboot mode, you can simple see your device listed in device manager.
3) Install Motorola Driver IF you haven't Installed it yet. Because it can be the main reason for this error. Download it from motorola website: http://motorola-mobility-en-in.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/884815Reserved 2
Get latest Stock Firmware for any model of Moto G4 and G4+
from here : https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
:fingers-crossed:5Here's a new blankflash file from OPJ28.72 build, this should work on OPJ28.111-22 as the bootloader version is same.
Obviously I can't test it since I haven't bricked my phone. Any other news shall be given out whenever it appears.

Can you please stop posting repeatedly in a demanding way? There's no newer blank flash at the moment so you have to wait if you don't want to spent money.
Every android release users don't read/search before downgrading and taking ota and complain that there's no solution asap.
You cannot expect that people fix YOUR faults if you have no patience.
Thanks for understanding
