This will guide will help you to root XT1641 / XT1642 / XT1643 variants of the Moto G4 Plus. Before we proceed, let us have a look at the requirements.
First, let us unlock Moto G4 Plus bootloader
1- Register
Head to Motorola website and register your E-Mail ID. Open Setting on your device and go to About Phone. Next, tap 7 times on Build Number and get the Developer Options unlocked. Head back to Main Settings Menu and go to Developer Options and switch the ‘Allow OEM Unlock’ option.
2- Getting Unique ID for each device
Reboot to Bootloader (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously). On your desktop, open a command prompt or terminal, and go to the directory where you installed the Android SDK tools (or make sure mfastboot is in your $PATH) At the prompt, type
$ mfastboot oem get_unlock_data
You will get something like this:
On a Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be
$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data (bootloader) 0240540162024205#4C4D3556313230 (bootloader) 30373as313630330df332323239#BD00 (bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE0a328A2AC0C39F95 (bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000 (bootloader) 0000000
On a Mac OS Desktop, the returned string format would be
INFO0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230 INFO30373731363031303332323239#BD00 INFO8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95 INFO1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000 INFO0000000
Paste together the 5 lines of output into one continuous string without (bootloader) or ‘INFO’ or white spaces. Your string needs to look like this:
0240540162024205#4C4D355631323030373as313630330df332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE0a328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000
3- Unlocking the device
Check if your device can be unlocked by pasting this string in the specific field on the Motorola website, and clicking “Can my device be unlocked?” NOTE: If your device is unlockable, a “REQUEST UNLOCK KEY” button will now appear at the bottom of that page. Click on it and wait for the unique code to be sent to your mail. After you got the code type the following :
mfastboot oem unlock
and wait your device to reboot.

The bitcoin price technical analysis for the july 2016 is in and our verdict is that it is still stuck in consolidation. However, we are quite sure it is getting ready to make a strong breakout soon. Right now, when converting from BTC to USD, one can see that the price is stuck inside a triangle pattern but we feel it might breakout since it is now at its peak.
We also feel that a breakout in either direction will set a long term tread for the bitcoin rate. Some technical experts say that the price of bitcoin is likely to go down in a big way. Right now, it sits just below the 800-dollar level.
That said if the oscillator reaches the overbought area, then the sellers will be able to regain control of the price action. According to the US NFP report, there was a bit of increase in demand for the US dollar last Friday and the economy added 287000 jobs in June which is higher than the projected 175000 increase.
On the other hand, the unemployment rate rose from 4.7 -> 4.9 percent that is higher than the projected increase to 4.8 percent. Right now, the bitcoin price is waiting to see how the uncertainties of the market stay before deciding on the direction.
