I have a Moto G4 Plus which I rooted a few days back. It is on the stock rom. Today, the phone switched off (though the battery wasn't low) and I haven't been able to turn it on since. I connected it to the charger and the only indication that the phone is alive is the led flashes about 4-5 times after holding the power button for some time. It also vibrates randomly sometimes when I press the power button or a combination of power volume up/down buttons. Please help.

Sounds like the battery has failed.
Connect to a pc and see how it's listed in device manager.

It is listed as Moto G (4) under portable devices. Also, I noticed that the phone is connected to my home wifi network, but the screen is still off. Also the back of the phone gets hot near the power button when it vibrates.
