[Q] MOTO E Root help needed! topic

Hi guys, im new to this forum and i had a question regarding rooting my tracfone moto e. I followed the steps exactly as i was suppose to in order to unlock it but when i go to the motorola unlock page and i enter the device id it just tells me "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking". I know that the moto e is unlock-able:-, ive seen several do it, but im assuming tracfone has had motorola lock the phone so it can not be unlocked.
Anyway is there another way to unlock the bootloader on my moto e or is there a way i can root my phone without unlocking bootloader. I dont care about running custom roms(though it would be cool) i just want to at this point be able to install everything(app + data) on my micro sd card and i also want to install several other root needed apps.
Please help me out
Thanks in advance for any responses to post, im getting a bit desperate.
