We search for the decay B0 -> rho0rho0 and other possible charmless modes with a pi+pi-pi+pi- final state, including B0 -> rho0f0(980), B0 -> f0(980)f0(980), B0 -> f0(980)pipi, B0 -> rho0pipi and non-resonant B0 -> 4pi. These results are obtained from a data sample containing 520 x 10^6 BBar pairs collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We measure a branching fraction of (0.9 +/- 0.4^{+0.3}_{-0.4}) x 10^{-6}, or B(B0 -> rho0rho0) < 1.6 x 10^{-6} at the 90% confidence level. The significance including systematic uncertainties is 1.8\sigma. These values correspond to the final state being longitudinally polarized. We also measure the branching fraction of non-resonant B0 -> 4pi decay to be (10.2 +/- 4.7^{+2.3}_{-1.5}) x 10^{-6} with 2.1\sigma significance, and set the 90% confidence level upper limit B(B0 -> 4pi) < 17.3 x 10^{-6}. For the other related decays, B0 -> rho0f0(980), B0 -> f0(980)f0(980), B0 -> f0(980)pipi and B0 -> rho0pipi, no significant signals are observed and upper limits on the branching fractions are set.
