It should be possible with initroot. The thread I made linked to an all in one tool which was claimed to work on our device. Obviously this isn't the case, but the reason why it didn't work was not because the exploit doesn't work on our phone. We just need more research and time.

I'm sorry about that. I didn't appreciated the difference in the cpu back then and assumed it was all right. I will have it corrected.
Sorry it was an old post and I never got time to manage it.

There is currently no way to fix a hard brick ourselves. You will have to send it to motorola for repair.

This thread is a mistake. The first post was erased. The person had the blankflash files for the 2013 moto x, which do NOT work with our 2014. There is no way to fix it, sorry.

As said earlier, your best bet would be sending the device back to Moto Care.

When trying to unlock bootloader it says that your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking?
Why?

A little more information. Is it an Amazon version because if it is, then it can't be unlocked.

Please tell us how you solved it and where exactly was the problem, so others with similar issues can read your solution instead of starting new threads, because they don't find answers.
When copying the string had some space between string that's
So when copying string check clearly if there is a space.

They "fixed" that error now. Amazon phones are not unlockable anymore. If you install an OTA, your phone will be "fixed" too.

Source? It's all over the G4 forums and confirmed by Amazon and Motorola.
Another source besides the official Moto page that I linked above?
Also is this thread from Moto G4:

So that clearly describes, that not all phones from Amazon can't be unlocked. Because I don't have this ad version, but bought with prime, so all ok. I have mine since 14 days and all ok with unlocking.
Oh, no, that was ONLY for the Amazon ad-sponsored versions! The other ones bought from Amazon (including mine) are fine.

Hi, I have the Amazon variant of the Moto g5 plus. Recently I've been trying to root my device and i've kept getting an error when I try to run the first command. Can someone please help because I would really love to root my device.
As far as ik you can't do that.
This has been discussed a lot here, please search or browse first before starting another thread on it. That said, only the 'Standard Version - Without Offers or Ads' Amazon models can have the bootloader unlocked, so either forget root or return yours for a standard model.
Please let me know if you find a way!
Could you please let me know if you find a way around. Thank you!

ONCE AGAIN!! Because Amazon has a deal with Motorola... Motorola will not give you the code to unlock the bootloader on an Amazon Prime phone. No unlocked bootloader, no root. Period.
Can we flash official images to get updates faster? I am in Antarctica, so our carrier doesn't push through updates.
I had two Motorola's phone before, and none of them was necessary unlock bootloader to be root. That is the reason why I'm asking this.
Can someone explain me, please, If it's not possible. What is the reason?
Thanks.
NO!!!
No.

Root without bootloader unlock requires 1 of 2 things.
1. A software/hardware exploit
2. An engineering boot image (a boot image that's signed but has relaxed permissions)

I believe this was the method here. It was done on the G4 and G5.
I try it, but its impossible
That is good news, I won't update then, when (if) there is a ota.
Hi. I have the moto g5 xt1670. I don't want the oreo ota, but the update screen is annoying. How can I stop it? Should I unlock BL-Root-freeze the app? Can I just root without touching the BL? Please help. Thanks

Question: Can I root the Moto G5 Plus Amazon Edition?
Answer: The Moto G5 Plus Amazon Edition is rootable via initroot so long as you have not updated the firmware. Development of initroot for various phones is happening in the Moto G4 Play forums.Here is the thread for the research and scripts for initroot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3639316

Are you sure about that? I only ask because I read through a lot of that thread and nowhere in there did I get the impression that this worked for the G5 Plus Amazon. In fact, it seemed like they specifically said it didn't work.

A bump here... I have the same question. Have things changed since November?
Bump again... Just wondering where this device stands as my mom needs a new device and I was looking at getting this one as none of the new / current Moto devices from Verizon have root methods... She uses the unlimited hotspot on her old droid turbo at the moment...
Bump..I would surely like to know also...
The answer is the same... No, it cannot be rooted EXCEPT if you happen to have an old one that was never updated, so December 2016 (?) security patch... I don't remember the exact date but it was late 2016 or really early 2017, then it was rootable by initroot.
Any update after that, or one that shipped after about May 2017, does not have an old enough version to root with initroot.
The bootloader is still not, and never will be, unlockable... Even if you purchased the ad removal, or later got your ads removed for free, this will not change.
I have unlocked the bootloader and successfully rooted this phone and am currently running ViperOS.

That's what I heard too. Since a few days the Amazon edition is unlockable via the Motorola website and after that you root it as any Moto G5+.

It seems to be only a short while when it was possible to unlock amz locked devices. I think it was some kind of glitch because the server was down for maintenance after that.

Just got this phone today and didn't realize the model, cannot get unlock code, so they still have them locked down? I'm gonna hate going through a return and wait process again.

If you've got the Amazon edition with ads there's no way to unlock and root the device.
