've just got a Moto G4 Play and discovered the bootloader is locked so I can't flash TWRP. My phone also isn't eligible for the bootloader to be unlocked either. (WHAT THE FUCK)
How can I root my phone so I can use the TWRP app to flash Lineage OS?
You go outside and get a job.

Do I seriously have to return the phone?
What the actual fuck.
Can't I root it without using the bootloader?
>>58546567
Return phone and get one that respecks your freedoms
Maybe spluge for one without software buttons

>Can't I root it without using the bootloader?
Yeah but that's a one way ticket to brick town.

You could, I don't know... ask somewhere that knows a fuck about rooting phones?
Time to give the dumbass his dumbass lunch for the day: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4-play
google next time... and why the fuck do people think 4chan is the best place to ask for advice? lol.
Shady as fuck, but might work:
1. get kingoroot (not kingroot). probably chinese botnet, you can get rid of it later.
2. get "rashr - flash tool" from play store
3. get the rom you want to flash, use the flash tool to flash it.
Gentoo doesn't have this problem

kingroot requires an unlocked bootloader :(

I get a quicker response here
I checked XDA, nothing helpful if you can't get your bootloader unlocked.

I might return it.
Recommend me an alternative with the same budget and without useless shit like finger print scanners

Simple, stop buying stolen phones
