Moto X - Enter Stock Recovery

This page tells you how to enter the Stock Recovery on the Motorola X.

This guide assumes you have NOT flashed a 3rd party recovery like TWRP, CWM, or used a Root method such as RockMyMoto which replaced the stock recovery.

Option 1: (based on https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/94936/p/30,6720,8696 )

  1. With the phone powered off, and unplugged, press the VOL DOWN KEY for 2-3 seconds then POWER key then release.
  2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
  3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select
