UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
WARNING: UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY.PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
NOTE: Unlocking the bootloader will Wipe/ factory reset your device, and will delete all personal data from your device such as apps, photos, messages, and settings.

- Download the Android SDK OR Download the Minimal ADB and Fastboot
- Install the latest Motorola USB Drivers on your desktop. Download here.
- Put your device in fastboot mode (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
- Open Command Prompt on androidsdk/platform-tools/ (Hold Shift and right click and press open command window here)
- Connect your Phone to PC
- Type this in the CMD prompt window - fastboot oem get_unlock_data
- You will get a return string. Copy it. [Right Click-Mark- Mark the text by pressing the shift key-Now press Ctrl+C]
- Paste all the lines together in a notepad. Remove the empty spaces.
- Now go to the Motorola Site.Sign in using your Google account or Motorola ID. Scroll down the page and paste the copied string in the field at step #6. Then click on ‘Can my device be unlocked?’, after which a "REQUEST UNLOCK KEY" button will appear at the bottom of page.
- To get your unlock key, select the ‘I Agree’ option. Note: You will receive an email with your Unlock Key at the email address you used to log in there.
- Important – Copy the 20-character key that Motorola sent you via email. Make sure your device is connected.

After you unlock your bootloader you can flash SuperSU in a custom recovery but someone would need to make one of those
adb devices
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.0-0-cedric.img
So how did mer2017 do it?Moto e4 is not on the list of the phones that can be unlocked, I have already chatted with moto customer care and they told me its bootloader can't b unlocked yet.
I'm saying it obviously works because it's been doneThese are the important questions.
Like seriously. How the hell.
I tried it, and magisk 12, and pph's superuser. Now what ?
Kingoroot and kingroot and kingroot pc all don't work
Thanks for the update
We know it's doable, we aren't looking for proof, we are looking for how to do it ourselves

I did all that but the magisk zip used to say it didn't Support my boot image and now it's just giving error 255First, I unlocked the bootloader through motorola's tool. Second, as there is no official TWRP for the e4, I used the Moto G5's TWRP img to BOOT from. (Flashing will not work, boot from it using fastboot) https://xdaforums.com/g5/development/unofficial-twrp-3-1-0-0-moto-g5-t3574450
After in TWRP, I made a backup of stock everything. You'll need it if something goes wrong during the entire process.
After making sure that I was backed up, I then flashed Magisk 13.1. After that successfully flashed, I then flashed this file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297893 . After rebooting (This may take a while), everything looked much the same, and it may look the same for you as well.
In my own case, the Magisk ZIP that I flashed did not install the Magisk Manager. Install that via the APK available in the Magisk 13.1 thread. After I did all that, I had successful root.
Hmm, I tried again and it gave an error that it couldn't mount the magisk image, here's some logsI did all that but the magisk zip used to say it didn't Support my boot image and now it's just giving error 255

adb devices
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.0-0-cedric.img
I'm not talking about the screen that asks if twrp should leave system read only, I'm talking about the the screen that you decrypt your data at. Do not bother doing a full wipe (since you've never touched system either way), just flash the stock boot.img and try again.Hmm I see what you mean but I think I did don't ask me again on that screen and can't get it to popup now. Should I just do a full wipe of my phone? System, Data, Cache, Internal Storage, and reflash to try again?
Make sure your phone is encrypted and you don't give twrp access to your data (don't put your password in when you boot twrp)How did you flash this Magisk 13.1? I keep getting an error failure to mount image. I did a stock ROM flash and wipe cache, data too and flashed nothing else prior to Magisk.
