I was wondering if there is a way to unlock the boot loader and root my phone. I have the amazon prime version of the Moto G Play. If someone can tell me the steps on how to do so that would great
So I've purchased a Moto E4 off Sprint because the J7 sucks and the development looked the same to me, no ROM was different besides it's skin. but as I looked up ROMs and root for this phone, I keep getting the Moto E4 with the fingerprint scanner, not the model I have, which only has the Moto logo and no fingerprint scanner. What model do I search for for this phone? My system settings say it's the E4, and even the model number. But Google results all show a different model. Any help?

Look at your device hardware info. under about phone(settings)
their's a term SKU XT****.
search with these keywords "moto e4 verizon XT****"
ex: moto e4 mediatek SKU XT1760"

Thank you so much for replying. I have already tried this and I still get results for the Moto E4 with a fingerprint scanner. Is it possible that the ROMS and development for that phone are the same for this one?

development in case of Moto E4 series device's isn't same. if you consider installing file's of another variant of moto e4 this will brick your device.

You can't unlock the bootloader on the Amazon Prime version and without an unlocked bootloader, you can't root. There may be work-arounds so check in the Moto G4 Plus section because it's more active and pretty much anything you can do to a G4+ works on the plain G4.

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.

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.
Hello, after installing the stock ROM and blocking the Moto G4 Plus bootloader, I saw that my digital biometric reader stopped working and in the settings my cell phone is being recognized as Moto G4, I tried installing other ROMs but it always remains the same. Sorry for English ..

Maybe you did not flashed the moto g4 plus stock rom. Instead you flashed moto g4 stock rom maybe.
Please check what exactly you have flashed
