So let's begin....
What you need:

3) USB cable
4) Patience
How to unlock the?*bootloader of Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus
a) Before proceedings make sure that your device is at least 70% charged.
b) Enable USB Debugging by going into Setting> About Phone and tap on build number for 8 times. This should unlock Developer Options. Now get into Developer Options and enable USB Debugging.

g) Now you need the unlock data to unlock the bootloader. Type the following command into the Command Window

h) It will display a long string which you need to copy into notepad, remove all the spaces which are present and save it somewhere.
i) Now go to?*Motorola official website. Create an account if you don’t have any. Log in to the account and go to the Unlock Bootloader option and paste the string which you copied in the notepad earlier.
j) Now click on Can my device be unlocked. Select I Agree and then Request Unlock Code. You should receive a mail from Motorola with similar codes within few minutes.
k) Now copy those codes, open Command Window and type the following commands
