I just requested an unlock code for my Moto E4 via Motorola's site and was emailed the appropriate unlock code immediately.
Bootloader unlock went smoothly. On to TWRP, and then hopefully, some custom ROMs?

They always let you unlock the bootloader of unlocked phones iirc, the issue is getting the root and making the ROMs.

Yeah; my point is that while the Moto E4 is not currently listed as supporting the unlock (yet), it is working and available.
This worked for me as well. I unlocked both my wife and I's Moto E4's. XT1768 is the model #.
Moto E4 from amazon
I was unable to unlock bootloader of Moto E4 from Amazon which is with ads and model XT1768.

Weird that we have the same model number. I bought mine from Republic Wireless. I know the Amazon ads version does not have an unlockable bootloader but I saw the G4 Play Amazon Edition just got a temporary root so the E4 Amazon Editon may not be too far behind.

Yeah, Motorola will not support unlocking the bootloader of an Amazon (or Verizon) model, unfortunately.

Regional/carrier/seller restriction - who knows.
Bottom line: if Moto's eligibility check comes back negative you are done. There are no workarounds TMK.
I have seen random posts indicating issues unlocking the xt1602 variant. Only one claiming success.
Might be able to root it; there's a thread discussing an exotic method that most never seem to get through.

I've the same variant, XT1602 Indian version. And i unlocked its bootloader without any problem. Don't know why it is considering your device as ineligible.

From my experience, Moto's website is picky. Make sure there are no spaces in the string you put in. Using the 'scrub tool' provided on the same page is usually a good idea if you're not sure. Sometimes a space can get trapped at the beginning and you can't see it.
Others have tethered a root by using TWRP and flashing that way. I'm still learning how this works and will attempt when I get an XT1609 prepaid Verizon variant.
Hey!
I bought this Moto E4 phone and i want to root it. But every site i've visited says that the Moto E4 XT1767 Verizon version, its bootloader can not be unlocked.
Is there any way to root it by today?
Thanks for your help!!

No. Probably never will be.
I know someone that has the Dev version of the verizon model and they say they cannot unlock the bootloader on that one either - it came locked out the box. So, you're probably better off going Factory Unlocked.

Moto e4 not unlock bootloader not qualify problem please help me
Hello I bought the Prime exclusive moto g 5 plus 64gb storage and 4gb of ram .
THIS ONE.
According to this post I'll not be able to root it, unlock boot loader or install a custom recovery, is this true??, it seems like a normal xt1687 (mine is xt1687 too acording to fastboot) in my opinion, is there any difference between mine and a non-amazon one??.
I downloaded the G5 plus toolkit and got the unlock boot loader information with no problem, also found an option in developer settings section that says "OEM UNLOCKING (Allow boot loader to be unlocked)"
What versión do you have? Xt1687? If your answer is yes, youll able to root unlock etc, i know cuz i have the same version. Greetings

You have to go through Motorola to get the code to unlock the bootloader. They will know whether you have an Amazon Prime device, and I don't believe they will give you the code. At least I believe that was the issue when the phone originally came out.
I've unlocked the bootloader on a few Moto G4 Play phones and the process was simple enough, but I want to make sure I don't run into any issues for rooting before getting my hands on Moto E4. On the Motorola website, the Moto E4 is not listed as a device that can have its booloader unlocked.
https://support.motorola.com/us/en/solution/MS87215
But I see people unlocking theirs? Maybe that page is outdated?
It's unlockable. Except Verizon. Go here and log in. Follow the steps. It works. Not sure why it's not listed, but it's unlockable.

Crap. I have the Verizon variant of the E4. I also have an E5 Plus, but thats a Metro variant.
I'm thinking about pickup up a used G5 Plus as a backup for my wife's Amazon version. I plan to unlock the bootloader and flash LineageOS 16. Is it safe to assume only the retail versions (software channel retus) can unlock the bootloader? I know in addition to the Amazon version, there is a Consumer Cellular version also.

All devices bootloader can be unlocked, you can install ROM in it after unlocking the bootloader. software channel is just to receive the updates, nothing more than that.

There are multiple XDA threads saying that there are no Amazon variants on which the bootloader can be unlocked.

I got a Moto g5 (Cedric) which is amazon version, but I was able to unlock the bootloader. So this device also able to unlock it's bootloader. As far I know Amazon version just mean it includes it apps as system app not as user app.

There was a short period of time when the Amazon versions were able to be unlocked, but that time has passed.
