I have been through a ton of threads and none of the root methods are working, can someone please help? Also considering that 98.16.3 is not the latest update, can I unlock the bootloader?

when i connect to windows it keeps connecting and disconnecting.
Anyone have any ideas?

Need information about your device, first of all. Maybe what recovery you tried flashing also.

In about phone there is:
Model number
Android version
Baseband version
Kernel version
Build number
SELinux status
Which one of these items do you consider the "firmware"?
Why bother with learning any of the details at all? Just guess at an answer!

When you first connect with ADB, the phone has a prompt on it to continue. So pay attention to what's on your phone screen when you try to root, it will be asking for confirmation.

OTA Updates with TWRP? or replace TWRP with stock recovery?

I've unlocked the bootloader and replaced with TWRP.
However, TWRP doesn't handle the OTA updates automatically.
Is there a way to use TWRP to do the update?
If not, is there a way to replace TWRP with the stock recovery?
This is for a Moto G4, build number MPJ24.139-48
TWRP can't handle OTA updates. You have to reflash the stock recovery in order to apply OTAs. You can grab -48's stock ROM here, pull out the recovery.img, boot into fastboot and flash it like you did TWRP.
Ok just had an update ota a flashed stock recovery but now when i hit xheck update its coming back as device up to date any advice
flashfire should be able to do the OTA for you, or you can do an adb sideload. do you mind if I ask which g4 you have and which OTA you are seeing? i have an amazon channel xt1625, and was lucky enough to unlock the bootloader before that window closed, but I haven't seen or heard of any OTA's for the amazon or non-amazon channel devices.

There is no Root available on Canadian or American variant.

I saw this (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#ota-installation-tips) to install an ota when you rooted.
I did some research to know what is flashfire and I read that it could work on other devices than pixel, nexus and samsung.
So I just wanted to know if someone tried and if it works

Are you continuing to check Samsung Members for the official update? I expect the 1st update possibly this week or next and if it's like Pie beta, it may become available to others not running the initial version.
I did this last night to my att s10+ . I flashed the bsi4 firmware in Odin then installed the update from an external sd card.

Add androidsage. Com into the link I posted .. that's the directions. You should definitely learn to use Odin and find firmware before doing this. More important to know how to dig yourself out when you inevitably soft brick.
Is wifi calling still available after updating to the new one ui?
You need SI4. The zip has been posted here. It says TMobile but it flashes att if you have an att SIM card. Just download it, put it onto an external SD card, reboot in recovery and apply update from SD card.
Edit: I have it in my GDrive. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K0Iy-5zYB8v8vKNrVo1clFaIJbZRvkrK/view?usp=drivesdk
