Check out the step-by-step guide given below.
Your Moto G4 Plus can be bricked for various reasons. For example, rooting, installing custom recovery, installing custom ROM or custom kernel, etc. are some of the reasons. And this guide let you know how to install stock firmware on a bricked Moto G4 Plus (code named Athene).
The below tutorial assume that you have knowledge on ADB, Fastboot, and how to issue fastboot commands. If you have followed the guide carefully, you can unbrick, unroot and restore stock firmware on your Moto G4 Plus (code named Athene).

Prerequisites:
– Motorola driver installed on the PC (download)

– Latest BlankFlash zip file (download)
– Latest Bootloader and GPT files (for firmware version NPJS25.93-14-8) (download)

How to Unbrick a Bricked Moto G4 Plus
1. Install Motorola driver and connect your Moto G4 Plus to your PC. Under Device Manger, your device should be detected as QualcommLoader or something like that.
2. Unzip the BlankFlash zip file you have downloaded and save the content inside the ADB installation directory.
3. Run ‘Blank-Flash.bat’ file. A command window will be open and it will flash some files to your phone. After few seconds, your Phone will reboot to Fastboot mode (First sign of life!)
4. Now, unzip the Bootloader and GPT files you have saved and save the content inside the ADB installation directory.
5. Inside ADB folder, open a command window (Press Shift key, right click and select ‘open command window here’ menu) and issue below commands.
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Note: Once done, you will see the Fastboot mode on your screen. You are now ready to flash stock firmware on it, but you just can’t flash older ROM (cannot downgrade), otherwise will brick your device again.
6. Unzip the downloaded factory image and save all the content inside the ADB installation folder.
7. Open a command window inside the ADB folder and issue below commands one-by-one.
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

Se você consegue ligar no modo fastboot baixe essa ROM (www.mediafire.com/file/y02cqcc8q96z53p/Erick-Tech-ROM-Abril-2018-NPJS25.93-14-18.zip) instale primeiro o gpt depois o bootloader reiniciar modo fastboot depois é só flashar a ROM!!se não baixe o blankflash (h?(drive.google.com/file/d/0B9r…ZaVk1pNk0/view) instale os David Qualcomm de pois ligar o celular no computador olhe se o computador reconhecer abra a pasta blankflash e de 2 click no black-flash.bat e reisiara no modo fastboot aí você faz o passo asima!!
I did the same as suggested. Now I can’t flash bootloader, recovery, system, etc. It says, invalid partition. Description is showing oem locked. I tried to unlock oem but it requires developer option. Since, there is no OS and recovery present, I am unable to flash partitions. Please suggest something on it.

Once unlocked the bootloader, probably you will not be able to install the OTA update. Also, relocking the bootloader will not help.
Thank you so much buddy!!
It worked like a charm!
I have a big doubt, now can i update the device to the latest version(as of now i am getting the September security patch).
