I was trying to flash Arrow Rom. Previously i had installed another rom which was oreo too. Can't remember its name. Steps that I followed:-
1. Wiped everything. Since i don't use this device i didn't take any backup. So i don't have any rom installed now:'(
2. Tried to flash the file. But it keeps showing error

You simply downloaded the wrong file, it's for Zuk Z2, not for moto g4 plus aka athene.

Please be aware what rom files for which devices you download.

Error 7 leads to corrupted file. Please make sure you download it without interrupting or it will be broken.
So i downloaded the rom again. Transfered it properly. Same error.(error 7)
So just to be sure. Downloaded 5 different Roms.
Same error. My friend suggested me to flash through Adb sideload. I think it flashes but not properly since my device got stucked on bootloop for around 40 minutes before i switched it off for 2 different ROMs. Ene of the day I am back to stage 1. My friend told me to instal TWRP again. But without any OS how can i do it. Please help;_;

And your absolut sure these 5 rom files are OK and not broken? You download the correct device versions?
Which roms you have(file names)?
What twrp version(link /file name)?

You can flash twrp with twrp itself(install - > image) or with fastboot like the first time.

I hope you did not pause the download in between or it did not failed and you started from the failed point (It can be done in Firefox)

Check the md5 of the zip file.

Also try a different TWRP. What TWRP are you using right now??.......just tell what source you downloaded it from

I downloaded the TWRP from the official website version 3.2.1
Link : https://dl.twrp.me/athene/
I have a moto g4 plus 3gb/32 gb version.

Wrong TWRP my friend (its a 32 bit TWRP and you need 64 bit TWRP)........strange I thought it was error 255 when we tried to install using wrong TWRP.

Download TWRP by Lyuu and backup EFS first and then flash the ROM.
Installed this twrp too. Still no good. Still same error;_;.
But when i tried installing stock rom a new error pooped up. Attaching image of that.
I thought it was successful but it got stuck on boot loop for around 30 mins so i switched off my phone :/

Try installing Stock ROM from fastboot then.

I think there was some problem with the TWRP. Not sure entirely. Yes i downloaded the correct versions of the ROMS. Downloaded 3 versions of one ROM just to be sure;_;
I am currently back to stock rom thanks to Heeth21.
I will try to flash now from the beginning.
Thank you for your help
