    • Insert the SIM card eject tool into the hole in the side of the SIM card tray and push to eject the tray.

    • Remove the SIM card tray.

    • If the SIM card does not fall free from the tray on its own, simply remove it with your fingers.

    • In the following steps you will be releasing the clips holding the phone's cases together. However, the back case is also secured with an adhesive pad. After separating the clips you will use an iOpener to allow the case to fully open. Do not attempt to fully open the phone before loosening the adhesive.

    • Insert a plastic opening tool into the seam between the front and rear covers near the SIM card slot.

    • Slide the plastic opening tool along the seam toward the upper corner.

    • Run the opening tool along the seam around all four sides, separating the remaining clips holding the cover on.

    • The plastic on the front cover is thinner near the buttons, and the buttons may move around. Go slowly to avoid damaging the buttons or the front cover.

    • Do not push the opening tool deep into phone, or you may damage internal components.

    Be *very* careful not to push the opening tool too deep when you go around the buttons! I accidentally broke the volume rocker ribbon by doing so, and didn't even realize it until I had completely removed the cover.

    When i removed the volume rocker i cant get it back in correctly seems to be in right but the volume up is not clicking and only works if i push it really hard any ideas?

    • Heat an iOpener and lay it over the phone for approximately 90 seconds to loosen the adhesive securing the back cover.

    There is NO GLUE holding on the back of a Moto X with a wood back! That little fact just made the extra $50 I spent on the phone totally worthwhile.

    • Starting from the SIM slot side, carefully peel the back cover off of the phone.

    • The back cover is very flexible, but you don't want to damage any internal components by being too hasty.

    • There is a chance that the NFC coil may remain stubbornly adhered to the back cover. If that's the case, stop peeling the cover and reapply a heated iOpener to the back cover.

    • Do not separate the back cover entirely; it is still connected to the phone by the camera flash cable.

    • The flash cable is attached on the power/volume button side of the phone.

    Step 15 seemed to be the hardest part for me. (step 25, the battery was also difficult). I am now not a fan of sticky stuff, "Mild adhesive" is definitely an understatement, IMHO, just saying I don't like sticky stuff, maybe I didn't do it right. The iOpener seemed to help a little, but not much.

    CAUTION

    BE CAREFUL with the NFC antenna, it says "X8 Mobile Computing System" on it. The adhesive seemed stick to the the blue stuff on the back cover more and loosen up on the bottom of the antenna, the part that sticks to the battery. So in the process of peeling the back cover the antenna started to come up and was torn at the connector strip before I realized what was happening, step 19 has a good picture of the connector strip that I'm talking about. I like using NFC once in awhile, so now my next FIX will be the antenna.

    Overall instructions were GREAT, I now have a camera again. Thank you.

    Patrick - Antwoord

    So you are saying that there is no problem if I don't connect the NFC antenna? I'm asking this because I bought a replacement battery that don't include the NFC antenna. I would really appreciate your help with this :)

    jspsaucedo -

    The adhesive was crazy hard on mine as well and I ended up with two small cracks on the edges of my back cover. The blue rubber piece actually separated from the back and removed it from the battery after it was open. The battery itself was also very difficult to remove (pull tab did nothing) and bent/pried the old battery out. I see no reason for all that adhesive! Other than getting the dang thing open the rest was easy. Great guide!

    Darrell Jividen - Antwoord

    The adhesive holding the back very strong! In the process of removing the back, I cracked the edges of the back cover and ripped part of the NFC connector. Luckily the friend I was doing the repair for did not even know what NFC was, so she was ok with this. Take your time removing the back cover! Also, the adhesive holding the battery in place was not what I would call mild. The black tab was next to useless in removing the battery

    • Gently set the back cover down in a way that exposes the camera flash cable connector, but does not put strain on it.

    As I had seen in another video, my Moto X with a custom back did not have the blue sticky pad. But the back was still well-adhered in the top corners and with a strip of adhesive along the bottom. In the photo in this step you can see the only adhesive I had to deal with, which was on either side of the lens (two dark areas on the phone back) and along the bottom of the phone (dark area at the bottom of the phone back).

    • Remove the four 3 mm T3 Torx screws securing the lower antenna assembly to the phone.

    It turns out to be the hardest step at the moment. I ordered iOpener set, and it is almost useless. It doesn't have t3, only t5, the actual iOpener is useless. I would happily order t3 on ifixit.com, but there is no t3 in Germany, so I ordered on amazon, and it turned out to be a complete $@$*, I was not able to take a single screw out. The guide is really good, I never thought I would have an issue with a screwdriver ....

    Igor Gaidaichuk - Antwoord

    These screws were definitely incompatible with my T3 bit - it was too small. T4 worked fine. Not sure if I should attribute this to an error in the guide or inconsistency in the size of my bit set; in any case it might be handy to have a T4 handy if you're not buying the iFixit screwdriver.

    Christian Hinton - Antwoord

    Stripped two of four T3 screws almost instantly and with very little force. Be careful! If I can't carve a flat slot into the screw heads I guess I'll have to abort the project or deliberately crack the antenna assembly plastic or try to drill the screw heads to proceed.

    pdisc1 - Antwoord

    Drilled out the heads. A bit scary, yes. I agree with another commenter here that my T3 isn't the best fit in these screws. My T3 was a pretty cheap eBay acquisition, so who knows where the blame should go. I wouldn't do this repair again. Phones should be easier to break open than this one. Too much adhesive (and as I mentioned above, mine didn't even have the blue adhesive pad) and T3 heads are super small and asking to be stripped and the two screws I did get out were way too tight. Oh, and also the potential butchering of the cover when prying loose the clips. Mine bent a bit around the headphone jack, but it smoothed back down and is not noticeable. Phone powered up and is charging now. Let's hope it was worth it.

    pdisc1 - Antwoord

    On my phone, the screws were DEFINITELY T4. My advise? Try T4 first. If it's too big, nothing lost.

    I nearly stripped the head on one of mine with my T3 bit because it was too small to get traction.

    Larry Smith - Antwoord

    Where to buy battery...and price of battery?

    D Rock - Antwoord

    I use chinese version of T3 screwdriver shipped with screen and T3/T4/T5 version of MATRIX tool set - both didnt fit for Moto X 1st gen screws. Only Bernstain T3 6-658 screwdriver fits ideally! Spent 2 days to find this tool. Be aware.

    Anton Prilepsky - Antwoord

    I was able to do this step by grinding down a cheap T3 that I had laying around from another repair. Like others, I found that these screws seem larger than a T3 - stripped one and had to drill it out. Since the T3 screwdriver I had was tapered, I ground it down until the end was large enough to grip the remaining screws. Success!

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry up the lower antenna assembly and free it from the phone.

    • Remove the antenna assembly.

    See that little circular rubber near the bottom right screw? This funnels the background noise to one of the noise canceling microphones. It will be destroyed when you take it off. Freaked me out when I first opened up mine.

    Adrian Koch - Antwoord

    This foam "funnel" required re-forming of the center hole (also check hole in back cover foam gasket). If this sound channel gets blocked, the noise canceling will not function properly. Before re-installing the lower antenna assembly, check the oblong 2-hole gasket on the back side of the antenna assembly which covers a sound channel to the offset microphone input hole. If deformed, gently reshape it with tweezers to assure both holes are not plugged.

This doesn't address the antenna stuck on (but separate) from the battery. It's easy enough to see in the pictures, but it doesn't come off easily in one piece. I think mine still works, but definitely needs addressing.

Kim Schaffer - Antwoord

Yes - getting the antenna off is a bear. I - well, my cell-phone guy - didn't bother because I don't use NFC for anything, so I hope that was okay!

Thanks for the guide...I'm wondering how to re-attach the back cover? Did you warm up the adhesive with the iOpener before snapping it back on?

greentree8 - Antwoord

I didn't need to heat up my phone to remove the back cover. There was some adhesive but nothing ridiculous. For those that are wondering, your phone will work fine without the NFC antenna (assuming you don't want to use NFC) that is affixed to the battery.

Mike - Antwoord

I had a hard time with the adhesive on the back. I had to heat it more than specified and use the spudger to slowly separate the layers.

Hi i was wondering if anyone could answer me am i able to use the X1058 batter on a moto x thats X1060

Dylan Mendoza - Antwoord

I was unable to remove the back cover without causing small cracks.

The iOpener sort of worked but I ended up using a mini hair dryer I had, directing the airflow inside the phone to open it.

If you are not very near sighted, don't try this without a magnifier stand.

A suction cup came in the iFixit kit. The proper use of it should be shown in the instructions. There were a few other parts that came in the kit but I did not use, but later realized they might be helpful. The instructions should show their use.

iFixit might consider selling for say $5 a glossy paper copy of the instructions.

The battery in my phone has Revision B printed on it. The battery I bought of eBay had Revision A on it. iFixit should let readers know what the difference is if any. The battery I got had an antenna and some other parts on it. In general iFixit should give better battery selection and purchase advice.

GX5E - Antwoord

Performed the battery replacement tonight. Took a risk removing the back cover without applying heat ... the adhesive came loose with a little patience (although I did end up with a small crack to the side of the back cover ... shouldn't be a problem since I use the phone with a case anyway).

Thank you iFixit for this guide including the great photos!

My battery is starting to discharge faster lately, which is over two years old. But looking at this guide and trying to change a broken screen on a moto x once before this is not for the unskilled, butter fingers, etc. I also found out the glass screen is glued to the display so essentially its non serviceable . Then there is the annoying problem of the phone dropping the wifi (no other device in the house has this problem). I tried several corrections found on the internet, nothing has worked. BUY ANOTHER PHONE.

sr71habu - Antwoord

I absolutely could not get the four T3 screws to come out. They stripped almost immediately so i had to drill the heads of the screws. Thankfully the phone still worked. Put a little dab of super glue in place of the screws.

The text is clear and many of the steps have a series of photos that clearly communicate what to attend to, how to start, and what it looks like when you are doing the process correctly. I haven't done this kind of repair before so it took a little while to gather the information, materials, and courage, but once I started it only took 30 minutes and everything works great.

That was a really easy fix. One of the four screws absolutely refused to budge so I heated it with a soldering iron while lifting the plastic cover.

Is it ok to place the sim card on the magnetic mat? I noticed that in the video Gwendolyn (sp?) set the sim card right on the magnetic mat right after she took it out. I'm afraid to do that with mine. Does anyone know for sure if that would mess the sim card up?

Damon - Antwoord

You should be safe! The magnetic project mat is strong enough to hold tiny screws, but not strong enough to wipe data from a SIM card. But you can always place the card elsewhere, just don't lose it!

captainchukwuka - Antwoord

These instructions are very clear. However despite being very careful, I quickly got two small cracks in the back cover while attempting to remove it using the tool provided. The back cover seemed very brittle. I discontinued the removal and ordered two replacement backs to ensure I will have an intact one to install over the new battery.

Jim Braddick - Antwoord

Thanks for the guide. To loosen the adhesive on the back cover, I used a damp cloth heated in the microwave, and then placed in a plastic zip lock bag as my DIY IOpener. Ended up having two of the antenna assembly torx screws heads strip on me. Had to use my Dremel to notch a groove in one. Was then able to get it out with a small flat head screw driver. The other screw I ended up grinding the head off. Put everything back together (with only 3 torx screws holding the antenna assembly), and the phone is working great.

roan horning - Antwoord

Excellent instructions and video. Makes it look simple. But I have been dreading this for months. 4 year old Moto, treated very gently. Back is cracked at least a dozen places all around edge and simply would not come off without prying and chiselling (?) off the glue. Perhaps because I live in Phoenix, the “heat sensitive glue” almost would NOT release the battery. Also, new battery didn’t have any, so is in there “loose” with traces of the old glue. It snapped right back together, and all phone functions worked fine. Will buy a new back though, all that cracking is unsightly.

dsgnstr - Antwoord

I’m happy after refurbishing my precious Moto X. If you take this on, make sure to have a Torx T3 driver— don’t attempt to use a T4. Also you will definitely crack the back cover when removing it (especially given the plastic is 5 years old now). I strongly recommend buying a replacement back cover in advance. The new OEM cover I found cost less that 10 USD and had integrated adhesive stickers and flash assembly.

John Belmonte - Antwoord

The key to this is patience. It’s neither difficult nor complicated, just frustrating. The back cover disassembly was very frustrating. I applied the iOpener for 90 seconds, at least 4-5 times. If you don’t feel the cover coming off slowly, then reapply the heat. Don’t risk breaking the cover (though cracks are inevitable). Also, be very careful when removing the screws. They’re so %#*@ tiny and I lost one. Other than that, the replacement should be pretty smooth. I got my new battery in, including the NFC antennae, and everything seems to be working fine, despite the one missing screw. Just be patient.

MINA ROSTOM - Antwoord

I finally had to face the fact that my beloved 5+ year-old Moto X had to have a new battery. Glad I stumbled over this DIY video first, before I paid a geek to do it for me

marileedewitt - Antwoord

a few things i noticed:

1) it’s almost impossible to do this without cracking the back cover. mine was already cracked (partially from it just being old, partially from the battery having expanded and cracking the side where the buttons are), so i had already ordered the replacement…the battery just happened to come in before the back cover did.

2) the heat never got the adhesive loose enough to the point where the back cover would come off easily. i basically had to just continually peel very slowly.

3) if some of the cables come off while you’e removing the cover, don’t panic. my nfc and flash cables both pulled loose before i got to that point (the nfc cable came out while the antenna was still in place), and both still work just fine.

4) nfc antenna may end up still attached to the back cover. when i took the case off, i ended up pulling the nfc antenna from the battery rather than the case from the nfc antenna. still works fine, just may have your steps out of order with the video.
