Is it Possible to root the Moto E4? Safley? - Moto E4 Questions & Answers

I really want to root my Moto E4 (For xposed and fake VR) but I really dont want to mess anything up! this is my favorite phone and really don't wanna mess anything up, my phone is already decrypted and the bootloader was unlocked via Motorola's bootunlocker tool from their website How would I root my phone safely without messing things up. Most one click root apps don't work with this (from what I read is cause the model's bootloader is normally locked) so I cant use those! And I also don't know which variant mine is but my phone is a Sprint version.
Help?

With a little more snooping you would have found your answers. Anyway, the Sprint version is good to go...it's a Qualcomm variant, so look for threads with Qualcomm in the title.
To root, follow this guide.
Good luck!

Be sure to read-up on f2fs workarounds if you plan root with Magisk -and- use systemless modules like Xposed. There are several good options; I opted for the Magisk module as I didn't want to flash a patched kernel. Reformatting the data partition to ext4 also works but you'll loose some of the benefits of f2fs. You can find more details in the Magisk installation guide.

what do you mean ? in your post you said it boots straight to twrp teamwin recovery ..that is where you flash the .zip
_take out the battery
_hold the power + vol down until you reach a screen
_here using vol up navigate through the onscreen options
_when the option recovery appears select it with power button
_when booted in recovery click "install" buttom
_navigate to NO VERITY .ZIP in the sdcard

(hopefully you put the zip om there )
_flash it & reboot
*remember click on "mount" button in recovery and mount your sdcard or whereever you put the zip .

Did you select format data, or format each partition? In twrp select reboot, then bootloader. Then scroll to start and tap power button. Sometimes formatting data causes it to boot to recovery.
Didn't you see in the root instructions it says you need to have an SD card? That's where you put all the root files like no verity and magisk.
You can always flash stock with rsdlite. Easy peasy.

That's fine. It just wipes data. You can flash back to stock with rsdlite on PC.

there is no updated zip. that was the contents of my /boot partition on my touchpad. i read in another forum that i could remove that file that was taking up all the partition space. i tried to flash the twrp zip file and it flashed but could not boot into twrp recovery, so i pulled the file from /boot and noticed it was too small so it didn't flash complete because of no more room. i removed "update-uimage" and pushed "uimage.twrp" and now all good. after messing around in twrp for a bit i decided to go back and remove clockworkmod too

I was able to update to TWRP, however, after reboot and chosing recovery, it doesnt automatically get into TWRP like it used to do with CWM. Is there a way to get this to automatically get into TWRP without having to select it from moboot menu?

With CWM as the only recovery, whenever you press and hold the hardware power off button, you get an option to reboot and when selecting that, if you chose reboot into recovery, with CWM, it will take you straight into recovery. With TWRP, it doesn't. Anyone who still has CWM only can test this, but it would be nice if we can get same thing work with TWRP. For now, I have removed CWM completely from my touchpad and am using TWRP only.

Yea, I am familiar with the reboot menu, and with cwm as my only recovery it never did that for me. I always had to choose it from the moboot menu. At least as long as I can remember anyway.
Incorrect uimage size.?? Tried acmeinstaller and cwm zip
Sent from my Touchpad using xda premium
op updated with zip to remove the update-image prior to flashing the recovery
Ok so if you have already flashed the initial zip and it gives incorrect size any way to remove that? I did the acmeuninstaller and the option for twrp was still there after reflashing with just cwm
**Edit- Went into CWM flashed the clean boot zip and then reflashed twrp and we are in business this is a kick ass recovery.**

[HELP] Accidentally formated SDCARD!

So I rooted, then put CM10.1 nightly and gapps on my sdcard, then went to flash, and I spaced out and accidentally formatted SDCARD when i know that I shouldnt have. crap.
i tried using the "sideload" feature but it wouldnt work on my adb-mac version, i also tried adb pushing ROM files to SDCARD, it says transfered but when i go to flash it says no files in SDCARD, I also tried pushing to SDCARD/0 but i get an error that it isnt a directory since it is formatted.
SOME ONE PLEASE give me instructions on what to do. Do I have to go back to stock or can I just get this to go straight to CM10.1? Id prefer straight to CM10.1 obviously.

So you've successfully flashed a recovery img via fasboot? Did you also push a copy of the ROM zip back to your phone?
Boot to recovery and then adb push the ROM to the sd card.
Code:
adb push yourROMsName.zip /sdcard/
The above code assumes you've placed the rom zip in the adb or platform-tools folder on your PC.
Can't you just boot into fastboot, flash a recovery, boot into said recovery and mount the internal storage and drag and drop the files from your computer?
How did you format the SD card when the phone doesn't have one?

Yeah but doesn't the Nexus 4 lump all the internal storage together, I know other devices like the OXL have like 6GB internal storage and then a 'simulated' mSD card of about 10GB, making 16GB total. But the Nexus 4 uses the whole 16GB (or 8GB) as internal storage.

yes definitely agreed.
although ive always wanted to try one, and it worked! if this were to happen again (if i dont shoot myself) then i will be doing it manually.
Thanks so much to everyone for all the help! I am now running Official CM10.1 Nightly (newest) and running beautifully so far. This is my second N4 tho, so I will be using my 1st stock one for today since its already setup, have to go to work now and will setup my new CM10.1 N4 later, hopefully wont find any crazy bugs...
I had the same problem and after reading this thread I tried the Fastboot method first:
after I finished it didnt boot so I continue with the inst', then it booted but only with 8GB, so I continue with the inst' and from that stage it just didnt boot.
At the end I tried the root toolkit V1.6.2 and the phone back to life with stock rom and 16GB.
I'm back to stock now. But I've used the sideload successfully. After you get your phone restored, you'll probably want to do a full factory reset because some of your pushes have probably gone through and are now eating up space. You can't delete them that I know of unless you FULLY format.
ANYWAY
When I got sideload to work, I had to push it to /sdcard/0/, /sdcard0/, or something like that. Wish I could be more specific, but I don't want to change from stock to install cwm (the ROMS have too many bugs so far, and we might be getting 4.2.2)
The key is finding the right directory to push it to. Experiment with slashes, and it SHOULD work.

[Q] How to get my data when phone is dead

My phone is totally dead, it's not starting up, it's stuck on the nexus logo but actually it's not a problem.
The problem is i have very important files that i don't want to lose. And to unlock the bootloader to flash a new rom everything will vanish!
Is there any method to transfer files before unlocking bootloader? And thanks in advance.

Stuck in TWRP after OTA

Hey,
This morning I tried to install OTA android update like an idiot just how you'd do it on a non-rooted phone.
Now if I try to boot up my phone it'll go on normally for under a minute and then power off and enter the TWRP menu.
What do?

Yes, as I said I'm probably retarded for doing that. I know absolutely nothing about rooting/flashing/all this stuff.

Nope, I'm an absolute retard as stated above. Had no idea that updating happens differently if rooted.

Probably being retarded again, but how can I get the downloaded .zip into the TWRP Backups folder? My PC can't access the phone's storage when it's off/in recovery.

keep it on your external SDard>>twrp>>backup . then insert to phone ...go to twrp>restore from sdcard.
there is also OTG support in twrp you can connect your USB drive to restore.

TWRP doesn't seem to recognize the file; nothing shows up in Restore -> from sdcard (also when I browse the directories in Install sdcard -> TWRP -> Backup is empty)
I moved the ZIP file downloaded from step 2. of http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/rom-xt1563-brasil-stock-6-0-twrp-t3272979.
What am I doing wrong?

Found the problem, which was that I didn't create a sub-folder named as my serial number as the guide didn't mention that. I think I got everything working now, thanks a ton for the help!

thanks for the solution. I didn't know that. I generally copy the whole backup folder and while placing backups from external source I place it inside my serial number folder.

Internal 0 MB, can't repair partition,can't mount /systems, /data and /cache

Okay, I want to flash a new rom, then I encounter this problem somehow (It's been a few week, so I forgot it). I can't flash stock rom, I've tried a lot of tutorial and tricks. Help me!
Some of the tutorial that I found on Google suggest me to repair my partition at first, here's what happen when I repair it

It's not workin. I've tried it serveral times, changing the /systems to F2FS and change it back to EXT4.
/systems, /cache and /data belong to EXT4 right ?

That's really expensive. If that's the only way, I'd rather buy a new phone.

Can you give me a detailed answer? I don't know where's the partition.img
Just google search Kraft-A6000_S061_160727_WCB0C57CA0 and download the zip firmware file, place it on the SD card, boot into twrp, wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache. Flash the zip. See if this works.

Bro it will not work because you can't mount system or data
If system is not mounting then you can't flash ROM !!

You're right, I can't flash anything
I haven't tried QFIL (Well, I've tried it but QFIL not detecting my phone)

How are you connecting your phone ??
Is there any file name partition.img in your firmware folder
Check i f qualcomm drivers are installed !!
It seems there have been no improvements, therefore I think this widespread problem shall be the death of many of our devices.
This happened to me once. Since the error was failed to mount partition, I went to mount (in TWRP) and selected all the partitions available there and that solved the issue.
