How to Root Moto E4: A Step-by-Step Guide

Rooting your phone can give you access to features and apps that aren’t available through the official app store, as well as customization options and enhanced security. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of rooting your Moto E4 step by step.

Before You Begin:

  • Make sure your phone is running on Android 7.0 or higher.
  • Back up all important data on your phone, as rooting can potentially erase it.
  • Download and install a reliable rooting tool from a trusted source.

Step 1: Enable Developer Options

To enable developer options on your Moto E4, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings > About Phone.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap "Build Number" several times until you see a message that says "You are now a developer!"
  3. Go back to Settings and you should see a new option called "Developer Options."

Step 2: Install Custom Recovery

Custom recovery allows you to install custom ROMs and recoveries on your phone, which can be useful when rooting.

To install custom recovery, follow these steps:

  1. Download the custom recovery file from a trusted source.
  2. Transfer the file to your phone using a USB cable.
  3. Reboot your phone into recovery mode by pressing and holding the power button and volume up button simultaneously until the recovery menu appears.
  4. Once in recovery, select "Install" and then "Choose from SD card."
  5. Navigate to the custom recovery file on your phone’s SD card and select it.
  6. Swipe to install the file and wait for the installation to complete.
  7. Reboot your phone and you should see the custom recovery menu.

Step 3: Root Your Phone

Now that you have custom recovery installed, you can root your phone.

To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Download the rooting file from a trusted source.
  2. Transfer the file to your phone using a USB cable.
  3. Reboot your phone into recovery mode as described in step 2.
  4. Select "Install" and then "Choose from SD card."
  5. Navigate to the rooting file on your phone’s SD card and select it.
  6. Swipe to install the file and wait for the installation to complete.
  7. Reboot your phone and you should see a message that says "Root Access Granted!"

Step 4: Customize Your Phone

Now that your phone is rooted, you can customize it as you like. There are many apps and features available through the Google Play Store that aren’t available on non-rooted phones. You can also install custom ROMs and kernels to improve performance and add new features.
