The lollipop upgrade caused my 2013 Moto X frequent crashes and the BT stack is broken. So I decided to downgrade. I found this walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRV2qoQX-P4
and followed it. It wasn't until I was done that I found it was for Moto G not X. The phone starts, but is obviously in a corrupted state - wifi doesn't work, etc...
What is my best/easiest course of action to downgrading to Moto X's image of Kit Kat?

Thanks!

Thank you. I was able to unlock bootloader, root and install CM11. However, something major is screwed up in my phone as a result of the incorrect as the Wifi and BT don't work (don't turn on).
Also, as soon as I try to open security in setting, it crashes. Is there a way to do a deeper recovery/reinstall?

Thanks!

Try installing CM12.1 and wipe the '/system' partition in the process before flashing CM12.1.

If that doesn't fix WiFi and Bluetooth then try this:

If you followed the guide you were linked to, it used fastboot to reflash all the partition on your phone... This means your rewriting basically all the phones software. If it is not working after that
a.) The software is bad
b.) The user is bad
OR
c.) The hardware is bad.

Read all the output of the commands you enter, make sure there are no errors, and verify you have the correct software.

The '/persist' partition never gets written upon.
And it stopped working after he flashed the Moto G firmware.
So it's obvious that the software that is bad.

Did you re flash back the stock radios for the X? Flashing CM on your device does not include the radios. Having the wrong radios will cause you to have problems. If you flashed the radios for the moto g you will need to flash the ones back for the moto x.
