How to Root Moto X Lollipop 5.0

Motorola in august of the year 2013, introduced the much awaited and publicized moto X which had 1280 * 720 pixels of display on a 4.7 inch screen which was expected to be a bit higher but Motorola didn’t step back in the protection case as it gave corning class 3 version of gorilla protection in that year.

This beast came along with Qualcomm MSM8960DT with Snapdragon s4 pro version but the company gave dual core processor which has krait 300 and also the additional adreno 320 this all clocked at 1.7 GHz. Well now this beast actually has no space for card storage which means you have got three simple options of 16 – 32 – 64 Gb and the amazing part of this is 2Gb of supported Ram to all the three options. This device has one awesome point and that is 10Mp of the back snapper and 2Mp for the selfie snapping.
