Not sure why I would need to install shady rootkits to my system when Google provides always latest minimal ADB install, fully signed and legit.

Talk about using recovery from the user in this case and trust it.

The point of LineageOS or TWRP etc. is to gain both security and privacy and respective developers should always provide legit official links when they are available, which is not the case here.

For me, and it seems like I'm not the only person facing this issue either, I cannot unlock my boot loader on their website as it says it's not eligible. I do have the unlocked XT1607, bought it at Walmart for $150. I contacted their customer support and they said it can be unlocked and that they'd forward the boot loader string to the dev team and then follow up and email the unlock code, yet it's been almost 24hrs and no response which is saddening.

-Edit-

I did some research quickly, and it does fully quality according to their forums, as my CID value is 0x0032 and they state that devices with that CID are eligible for being unlocked. So they must be updating things in the background in their system

[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fireball0093:
After talking to their customer support, I never got an email. The next day however I decided to go online to their boot loader page and put my code in, then it worked! The data scrub tool or whatever it may be called that they have I recommend using it too.

[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PatC11:
They are in a subdirectory of the TWRP directory. With the proper drivers installed on your PC you can transfer them via File Explorer. Or, 20 pounds/euros/dollars will get you a 64gb SD card.

I tried to fastboot boot recovery from the bootoader but it didn't work. I rebooted the phone first and did it with: "adb reboot recovery" in windows.

Overall nice guide, works like a charm, i also flashed the unlocked bootloader warning with a custom logo.bin, no issues here and works like a charm (I flashed it with the stock logo you see when you first bought the phone with a locked bootloader)

Thank you!
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] loonix:
Yah fastboot reboot recovery doesn't work. But very nice guide.

While in the main bootloader menu, the Power & Vol+/- buttons are active and you can go straight to recovery (and other modes) using the toggles. Perhaps this should be mentioned in the OP.

It should also be noted that after flashing recovery, one needs to go to recovery straight before rebooting to normal (system) for the TWRP/Custom Recovery to stick.

Also worth noting, Power + Volume Down will boot to bootloader/fastboot and then hardware buttons to navigate to all other modes as needed.

.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] facuarmo:
Yes and, adding to what you said, you need to re-enable the "Allow bootloader unlocking" and "USB Debugging" in Developer Settings if you failed to flash your recovery as the device expects to be flashed. Else, you'll get a "unable to load kernel" error in the bootloader log and being rebooted again to the bootloader menu.

[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mkollersms:
I want to throw something out there, because it happened to me. In newer builds of Windows 10, you are no longer able to open a command window in a folder (the only available option is Powershell). I even tried that Path thing some Android tutorials talked about, and it failed. When I went to flash TWRP, I had to put twrp.img in my User folder directly (I only figured this out because when I did t-tab it fetched the .thumbnails folder). Make sure you know what CMD is referencing BEFORE you start the process, because doing so will save you a lot of headache down the road.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PatC11:
In concept, I don't see any reason why you couldn't use TWRP to flash the stock ROM and then fastboot to flash the stock recovery ... or fastboot to flash both (be easier and quicker). The Moto website may have instructions for re-locking.

If your phone is from Verizon Prepaid, Moto will say the device is not eligible to be unlocked. Knowing Verizon, it's not likely to be unlocked later along down the line either. Hopefully someone comes up with a good way to bypass this restriction and install some ROMs.

Hey all - man, I'm so glad this thread exists.

I am stuck at "d. Open command window and change to the directory where you put adb, fastboot, and twrp" - my command-prompt-fu is weak! I know how to open a command window, which starts me at c:\users\pcname...but my phone isn't even showing up as a drive letter, just as "Moto G (4)". Would anybody be so kind as to walk me through navigating into the right directory? Which, btw, is simply the main folder when I open the phone as a storage device. Happy to move the flashable zips into a folder if that would be easier!

Thanks so much, all!
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Marcos60001:
First of all: LOL.

Answering your question properly though, you're not supposed to change directory into the phone. ADB, Fastboot and the TWRP image file need to be in a folder on your computer's drive, not on your phone. You're gonna use ADB and Fastboot on your computer to interface with your phone. Hope this helps.

Well, against ALL odds, I appear to have done it again.

Got the bootloader unlocked and re-enabled developer options, unlockable bootloader, and USB debugging.

But when I try to flash TWRP:

adb devices (I see the device)

adb reboot bootloader (it does)

fastboot flash recovery twrp-harpia-3.1.0-r1.img

I get

(bootloader) slot-count:not found

(bootloader) slot-suffixes:not found

(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found

(bootloader) has-slot:recovery:not found

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'recovery' (8934 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.286s]

writing 'recovery' ...

(bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt

OKAY [0.250s]

finished. total time: 0.542s

Tried re-downloading the twrp file, no different :/

I realize this is small potatoes for most of you guys - I really appreciate the extra help!

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

I should add that if I immediately follow up with "fastboot reboot recovery" I get:

(bootloader) slot-count:not found

(bootloader) slot-suffixes:not found

(bootloader) slot-suffixes:not found

usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>

commands: (then a giant list of all possible commands)

So it's acting like "reboot recovery" is not a valid command...any ideas?

Works Great

I bought a couple XT1607 harpia's from BH Photo for 100 bucks each. Basically followed the procedure here to unlock install TWRP and root.

The link provided to the Motorola website has instructions that can be helpful. At one point it warned me that I might die if I followed through and unlocked the phone ... Ha Ha.

Also the TWRP site has instructions for install on the harpia that may help.

One thing that maybe isn't clear, on the XT1607 you can get to the bootloader by Vol- and hold the power button. Once in the bootloader use the vol buttons to select recovery then power button to enter TWRP.

Also these have been activated on total wireless, numbers ported over no problem. Used tracfone verizon byop sims for this no problem. Only 7 MB download speed, but that is ok for me. I'll give it a couple more days and do a TWRP backup and then maybe give flashing Lineage a try.

Thanks for the writeup!

My experience preping a pair of $100 specials from B&H was nearly identical with exception to the last paragraph (I use Verizon). Quite happy with stock ROM and Xposed. No need to mess with any of the custom Nougat builds as none offer the stability, functionality and flexibility of stock + Xposed.

Does unlocking wipe data?

Could you confirm whether unlocking the bootloader wipes the data partition and internal storage or the files will persist?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PatC11:
If I recall correctly, there is a warning to this effect on the Motorola web site. For your purposes, assume the phone will be wiped clean clean clean. Backup any files you want to keep and restore them later. Also make a system backup so that you have a fallback in case something goes wrong (it happens!).
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PatC11:
Well, Davey is correct, but to try to get you on the right path, you do this step through fastboot. You actually have to type the command line, as specified in the OP. You can figure it out (I know you can!) and you'll be that much smarter when you're done!
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
[MENTION=4986606]PatC11[/MENTION] is spot on with regard to the warning and assumptions. In my case (two X1607 devices) all contents remained intact. YMMV.

[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Oronno Chy:
Currently I'm using MPIS24.241-2.35-1-13

Actually I wanted to know ,now if I install the stock MM recovery extracting from stock "XT1607_HARPIA_RETUS_MPI24.241-2.35-1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAU.zip"

and install the official 7.1.1 OTA then can flash the current TWRP "twrp-harpia-3.1.1-r1.img" using the same method used on MM?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
First there is no assurance OTA updates will be processed if you restore stock recovery. Bootloader, recovery, system and several other partitions need to be pristine for OTA updates to work. Assuming you do get it to auto update I don't see any obstacles to installing TWRP assuming other prerequisites have been satisfied. Or simply leave stock moto recovery installed and boot TWRP when needed. Good luck.

You don't have the twrp img file in the same folder as the fastboot command on whatever host you are using.

I'm using minimal adb. Copied twrp.img into the same folder with adb and fastboot. Is there another step I'm missing?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Nope - it's a location or file identifier issue. Did you rename the twrp image that was downloaded as the default name is not 'twrp.img'?

Verify the proper folder is in focus when issuing the fastboot command. Issue a dir command to verify the twrp image is present and matches the identifier being used with the flash command.
