So I've purchased a Moto E4 off Sprint because the J7 sucks and the development looked the same to me, no ROM was different besides it's skin. but as I looked up ROMs and root for this phone, I keep getting the Moto E4 with the fingerprint scanner, not the model I have, which only has the Moto logo and no fingerprint scanner. What model do I search for for this phone? My system settings say it's the E4, and even the model number. But Google results all show a different model. Any help?

Look at your device hardware info. under about phone(settings)
their's a term SKU XT****.
search with these keywords "moto e4 verizon XT****"
ex: moto e4 mediatek SKU XT1760"

Thank you so much for replying. I have already tried this and I still get results for the Moto E4 with a fingerprint scanner. Is it possible that the ROMS and development for that phone are the same for this one?

development in case of Moto E4 series device's isn't same. if you consider installing file's of another variant of moto e4 this will brick your device.

Thanks anyways, but I found the issue. Turns out only the boost, metro and sprint variant don't include fingerprint scanners! ;-;

Is there anyway of me getting root on this phone? Its not a amazon exclusive device and was full price. Im on the retus software channel and have a baseband of m8952 and a build of mpj24 if that helps. Is my best bet to try to contact motorola customer support to get the bootloader unlocked?

What's the problem? your phone is unlockable. Follow normal procedure to unlock bootloader.
xt1625 is the US moto G4, try going to the moto bootunlocking site -https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
Should give you a unlock code just fine.

Im giong to close the thread, seems i had got my info mixed up, i had thought 1625 was only for amazon versions of the phone which cant be unlocked. But thats not the case and i have the unlock code already. Sorry for the wasted thread.

Actually, I had the same confusion. My Moto G4 is US retail version, and it also said XT1625, and it does not come with Amazon ads. But when I searched online, a lot of the information on the XT1625 version was the Amazon version (oh, and there is also the India XT1625 version). I had no problem unlocking the bootloader at Motorola's website, and given that the Amazon ones were not unlockable, I knew there must be some difference.
This is really confusing indeed.
Agreed I had same worries but also unlocked just fine, ofc I knew I was good when their werent any lame ads on the lockscreen lol.
Sorry for the noob question but what is the difference between "potter" and "xt1687?" I searched but couldn't find anything conclusive about differences between potter, xt1685, xt1686, xt1687, xt1688, etc.
I just got an xt1687 from Amazon but it seems all the ROMs are for the "potter" variation. I'm trying to figure out what differences are so I can tell which ROMs will work or not work for my device.
Thanks for any help.
If you'd look at about phone in settings, you'd see your model number. Potter is the codename that was used by Lenovo for the Moto G5 plus. XT1687 is the official model number for the Moto G5 plus. Its the same phone.

So are all variants (xt1685, xt1686, xt1687, etc.) considered "potter?" Any ROM listed for use with potter will work regardless of RAM and storage sizes?

Yes, 'potter' is the device name for all Moto G5 Plus variants, for the "regular" Moto G5 it's 'cedric' and so on. Some issues do pop up for certain variants based on differences like having NFC/compass or not, but are usually minor and/or fixable.

Thank you.
guys, I seriously need some answers here.
I just bought a Moto G4 and now I'm getting totally confused by posts like "amazon won't allow any bootloader unlocks" and stuff like this. Also the motorola unlock website seems to be taken down
(Or do I just need to follow these steps: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a) ?
Can anyone tell me, if I can still install LineageOS on my Moto G4? 2y ago I flashed my Moto G and everything worked fine, so actually I should be familiar with the process...
Thanks!
Edit:
Ah, there is a "Moto G (4th Gen.) - Amazon Prime Exclusive" - nice info. And jeah: following the instructions above did get me to an unlocked Moto G4

No. Probably never will be.
I know someone that has the Dev version of the verizon model and they say they cannot unlock the bootloader on that one either - it came locked out the box. So, you're probably better off going Factory Unlocked.

Try it and find out. No harm can come from the attempt. What worked yesterday may not be applicable today; asking the community yields little relevant information if what you claim is true.
