G4 and G4 plus use the same method, flash TWRP then elemental x kernel and then you can root it With super su or magisk.
I wanted to try it but I have a problem with the bootloader that I can not unlock because my computer is the amazon version that no one could remove said ads in the latest security update NPJ25.93.14.5, if anyone knows of any solution I will be grateful .

Thanks for this. Yes, I'm okay with all of this (I've rooted my previous phones), I'm aware of the risks and stuff. I'll give this a try ?This guide shows you how to root with SuperSU https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-root-moto-g4-plus-supersu-android-t3587918
Ensure you've flashed a custom kernel such as ElementalX before rooting, else you'll trip anti-rooting protections built into the stock kernel, which may necessitate a re-flash of your stock ROM. You may wish to use newer versions of SuperSU. Alternatively, if you wish to use magisk for rooting, you can have a look at this guide I've written based on the above link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72496111&postcount=270
I've used this method to root a G4 Plus running NPJS25.93-14-8 (June 2017 stock ROM) with magisk 13.3 and have EX Kernel Manager, Amaze and other root utilities running okay. Furthermore, with the built-in root hiding abilities of magisk, SafetyNet dependent apps appear to run okay. I believe SuperSU has a similar addon to hide root from various detection methods too.
Something I've run into with using the stock ROM with TWRP is that Google Play Store may show an error 0 when attempting to download apps or updating. Seems this is related to permissions issues on the data partition and you may be able to correct them with this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73604008&postcount=19
As mentioned above, the same steps should apply to G4 devices (and has been tested on G4 devices). As usual, unlocking your bootloader will wipe your device (as a security measure) so back up your data and move it off your device. You may wish to back up your SD card if adopted as internal storage (or find a way to save your encryption key). Also, requesting the unlock key from Motorola, regardless of whether you use it, appears to void your remaining service warranty.
Futhermore, once rooted, you will not be able to accept OTA updates, and attempts to do so will soft-bootloop your device unless you boot to bootloader and select 'Start' to boot to system. To accept OTA updates, you'll have to revert back to a clean stock ROM (and of the same build or newer - attempts to revert back to older stock ROMs than what you had, especially if you were previously on the March/June 2017 patch level, have a nasty habit of hard bricking if you took OTA updates).
If you're okay with all that, then good luck rooting
Um... Could you ask questions in your own forum please? This forum is for rooting help for the Moto G4.
I think he is asking about the Moto G4 Amazon version. So he is in the right forum.
Oh, okay. But even still - I think he should be asking the question individually. Not only would he get more help from people but it wouldn't detract from my post.
Thanks so much! Worked perfectly on the Moto G4.This guide shows you how to root with SuperSU https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-root-moto-g4-plus-supersu-android-t3587918
