Just Go to settings enable developer options, Enable usb debugging , enable oem unlock <<<< remember to enable all these before going to unlock bootloader!
Just go to motorola bootloader site and follow the instructions!

Do you know what model your friend has? (xt1607- unlocked version or xt1609- Verizon model) If he has the xt1607 unlocked version then he may be doing something wrong in the process. If he has the xt1609 Verizon model then this method will not work on it because at the moment it is not rootable or bootloader unlockable.

I have been trying for a better part of a day with no avail. I am hoping that someone would able to point me in the correct direction of what I am trying to do.
I used Towelroot to root the Razr M and installed SuperSU from the Play Store. It is fully rooted from what I can tell, but using the Motopocalypse APK and the Windows application with no success.
Any suggestions?
Can someone please confirm whether it's possible or not to unlock bootloader on this 185.46.10?

Cannot Unlock Bootloader
No custom Roms
I've already successfully rooted using king root. But just wanted to be sure whether I'll be able to swap rom for cm11. Your post made that clear.
guys I just wanted to note that cf auto root is available for our device. So if you had problems with root before try this cf-autoroot
PS: you still need unlocked bootloader!! (It installs pre-rooted boot image)

Hi guys and gals,
I am ordering the Moto E4 right now and it comes unlocked already. Now do I have to root it, or since it is unlocked it is rooted already? Also since it is unlocked can I just use a one click root?
Unlocked means SIM unlocked. You must unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery and flash supersu through custom recovery

Ahh, so to do that I would just have to look up a guide I assume and follow the steps on it. Do you happen to have a video by chance?

Are you trying to confuse the guy? SuperSU will not work. You have to use Magisk 14.0 or phh's superuser.
Has anyone tried getting root without TWRP?

I've been meaning to try the Magisk install with adb but haven't yet. I'll do that some time today.

God Day, my moto g5 plus xt1680 is carried locked so It has only received one security update.
1. Can I install a stock firmware?
2. Do I have to unlock the bootloader?
3. Will I get OTA updates after I have installed the new firmware?
Thanks for the help!!

Choose your firmware (not older then the one you're running) and flash it in fastboot mode command by command or use the attached flashall.bat in this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5...patch-xt1687-npns25-137-t3796797/post76661211
Make sure you have the latest Motorola drivers and something like Minmal ADB & Fastboot installed.
Here are some firmware sources:

There's only one correct way to unlock the bootloader, with the unlock code sent by Motorola.
Here's a tutorial:

This is about flashing stock, below you'll find flashing TWRP and Magisk i.e rooting. Links for TWRP, ADB and Fastboot and Magisk are included.
I'm about to make an own thread for this and expand it with things like unlocking, decrypting etc .

You don't have to flash stock (that part of the tutorial was written for another user).
After unlocking the bootloader your device will be wiped and if your build number is OPSS28.85-17-6 you should actually receive one more OTA up to OPSS28.85-17-6-2 (Feb 2019 security patch).
After unlocking and maybe getting that update you can flash the latest TWRP as usual and root by flashing magisk.zip from there.
