If you're able to boot into the bootloader, then you're not hard bricked (fortunately).

What output do you get if you have your device in fastboot mode, then type 'fastboot getvar all' into the ADB terminal, then press enter?

If you can, use a different USB port and/or USB data cable.

Also, which firmware were you on? There is no 7.1 update for stock firmware, only 7.0 for Nougat or 8.1 for Oreo.

What firmware are you trying to flash now? Looks like your main issue is that you do not have a GPT partition table on your device, so your device does not know what files to flash.

I would recommend downloading the Oreo firmware from here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip delete the old stock ROM files from your ADB folder and replace with the Oreo firmware files. Then try to flash the Oreo GPT file

What happened to your device before this?

Which GPT.bin are you trying to load up? Try the April 2018 GPT and bootloader https://drive.google.com/open?id=13AuJkn8eelq-wQ5wp7lNQTf7kT7_lLwI or the December 2018 GPT and bootloader: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TlFPYf4y3MEARFUuHSNB5Ty0GD-SQua-

However, if your device continues to report GPT partition initialisation errors, it's possible your flash storage is damaged and may require a motherboard replacement.

Where can I get a motherboard replacement ?
will it finally solve my problem ?

Probaly a service centre would be the best place to request a motherboard replacement. It may solve your issue, however, as your G4 Plus is out of warranty, a motherboard replacement is not cheap - I've seen quotes for 8000-1000 rupees. Thus, you may wish to look into buying a new device altogether.
