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 [MENTION=7245484]marcelofilgueira[/MENTION] [ MANY MANY HUGE THANKS TO HIM ]

Here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9rhtqQ4ZTDnTWdpX3ZaVk1pNk0/view

There is a New BlankFlash file Provided by [MENTION=6324159]rajatgupta1998[/MENTION]

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 :D 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 [MENTION=6324159]tywinlannister7[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7970352]echo92[/MENTION]

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 :

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 [MENTION=6324159]tywinlannister7[/MENTION] 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 :

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 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

And that's it!! You will get your Athene Back to Life :cool:

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...!
