Hi Guys.
Is it possible to flash the Verizon Moto E4 Xt1767 with the stock XT176 rom? I was able to years ago able to flash the Verizon Droid 3 with a unbranded carrier stock rom.

How might you accomplish this given locked bootloader, no root and no ability to boot a custom recovery. There is little/no chance ADB sideload would allow such a swap as it would stop any semblance of device security.

I have the Verizon Moto E4. Yes...I know the bootloader can't be unlocked, so it can't be rooted. However, a couple years ago I had a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 which also had a locked bootloader, but it was rootable with TowelRoot. I was able to flash ROMs via SafeStrap (like TWRP). Granted, they were TouchWiz based ROMs, but it was rooted. So how is it that the Verizon S4 was rootable with a locked bootloader, but the Moto E4 isn't/can't?
Just wondering.

Android has progressed to a point where it is much more secure. Motorola has gotten much better at creating secure bootloaders.
It's not a true motorola phone. It's lenovo moto and lenovo keep screwing new devices.

This has exactly ZERO to do with Lenovorola - They allow unlocking on a bunch of devices they sell, EXCEPT when requested by carriers / vendors, like Verizon and Amazon. VERIZON, not Motorola or Lenovo, is responsible for the not-unlockable bootloader on the VZW variant.
I adquired moto e4 Verizon variant, I know that this one can't be rooted cuz the bootloader is locked and can't flash customs roms too. BUT I want to flash retail rom, U know, I want my moto e4 without Verizon boot animation and vzn bloatware.
I'm usign this one: PERRY_VERIZON_NDQ26.69-23-2_cid2_subsidy-VZW_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
I want flash this: PERRY_RETAIL_7.1.1_NPQ26.69-41_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

The bootloader probably won't let you flash anything other than the Verizon version
If anyone tried this please report back I'd really like to know the answer to this myself.
I have a Sprint Moto E4 Perry that I would like to install the Metro PCS OEM Moto E4 Perry rom onto. The phone is already bootloader unlocked. What would be the easiest way to do so? Would installing the OEM rom with twrp work? If so what would be the best way to do that? Thank you for your help.

You can't install stock firmware with twrp unless it was made into a flashable zip by someone, and nobody has done that yet. You need to flash the firmware with fastboot. I also don't recommend flashing firmware for a GSM device on a CDMA device. It may not work out so well for you.
Whats the reasoning behind wanting to flash metropcs?
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
Hi, i need some help deciding which ROM to flash on my new phone.
I want the most vanilla experience possible, the one that resembles stock firmware the most, i have to flash a custom ROM because im not in the US and need to use a GSM carrier.
Been out of the Android loop for several months sicne my two previous phones were bootloader locked and couldnt flash custom ROMs.
I have Moto E4 Virgin from sprint on Dominican Republic and i just pop up a gsm Sim after open the brand new box and just Work On Stock.
