How o Reset Your Motorola Moto X (2014)

The Motorola Moto X is a powerful mid-ranged Android phone released by Google and Motorola.  A version of this device was re-released in 2014.

If you have a Motorola Moto X (2014) and are an Android power user, chances are you’ve already tweaked it by either rooting it, installing a custom recovery on it, installing a Custom ROM in it or either two or all of these combinations.  If so, you might notice that your device is lagging somewhat now.  This lag could be because of bugs that all your custom stuff has left on your device.

If you Moto X (2014) is lagging or hanging a lot, one of the best ways to fix it would be to revert back to stock.  To revert back to stop, you need to perform a factory reset first and in this guide, we’re going to show you how.
