I know this was mentioned in an older post, but I figured I'd get a link to the iFixIt Moto X site.
I found this link useful if you find the need to open up your Moto X and do any repairs.
Granted, the device they show is the XT1058 (16G NAND, same model I have), a lot of the disassembly/reassembly *should* be the same for the other models.
Post with differences if you find them! I'd be happy to keep this OP updated with differences as we find them.
I did notice a possible 16-pin jtag pad located just north of the SK Hynix RAM:

But, considering that pad is facing the back of the lcd, it isn't very handy for runtime debugging. (No SWD for me )
Anyways, replacing your camera's and other parts looks pretty simple. Enjoy.
the iFixit it tutorial is not bad, but should ONLY be attempted by someone with alot of experience. The adhesive on the back cover holding the wide flex is really strong and does not come right off as they show. I heated my hotplate to 180 degrees, peeled a little, then did it again. using a long thin metal smudger is best. It will rip if youre not careful. Same with battery, only dont use heat. use metal smudger and take your time. I have not found the part with a mid chasis attached yet and it is very difficult to separate; use hotplate again at 180 and expect to crack the LCD and Digitizer if it wasnt done already; save the metal pins from the digitizer side frame. The iFixit tutorial stops at the mid chasis and I noticed iFixit doesnt even sell the part...

Are there any specifc tools I will need. Please help with this, as it is getting to be veryloose and annoying.
Thanks in advance
Is it loose when twisting (IE rotating the screen 180 degrees) or is it loose when flipping the device open...
For twisting, the base (the area you have in blue, on the keyboard) is magnetic.
It is possible that maybe this has lost some of its magnetism ?????
Test it out with a fridge magnet to see if has a good magnetic field...
If you are talking baout the flip, there are these metal pins located inside the 2 hinges on the keyboard... (to the left and right of the blue area).
It is possible that the plastic has worn out, and these metal pins have a lot of play, allowing them to move very easily...
If this is the case, then you could always try and create more friction, within the hinges....
The best way to get to the part is to disassemble the main unit(not the LCD screen part)...
To do that, you are going to need a very tiny screwdriver, and a pair of tweezers....
Have a hunt around for the Universal Service Manual... That describes disassembly and re-assembler much more elequently than I ever could...
(If you cant find it. PM me with an email address.. And I will sort something out for you...)

Looking at that one specifically. My tilt has a bunch of chip/scratch marks on the shell. It is also crooked when the slider isn't open (the face goes down more than it should, not sure why). I want to sell the phone to get a new HTC, so I'm planning on buying the kit and pretty much making it seem as new as possible. Good idea?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They do not give enough info from the site to know if this is complete (battery cover, backing, front face, new key board, and new call/end key pad). I bought a screen from them and they customer support SUCKS!! The screen had a red dot and they basically told me to F-off. So I would stay away from that site. I did find a complete housing form e-bay for the same price, got it and now my tilt looks brand new. Look up "AT&T tilit full housing" on eBay. That way you see exactly what you are getting:
Remeber some are just front and back covers, others are the entire setup.
This is just the front and back cover

This is a complete setup (same price)
My Mytouch4g slipped out of my pocket as I was getting in the car last night and landed on concrete. Although there is no physical damage to the exterior of the phone, the screen now looks like this. If anyone has had this happen to them, is it fixable and if so what part do I need to fix it.

Look up Iphonerepair and mytouch4g in google.
I would give you the link, but being a new member I'm not allowed yet =D
Looked around a little bit and they look like the cheapest place out there; some guys at work have also used them, so I don't think they're going to sit there and try to rip you off (IE try to not send back phone etc etc)
Sorry couldn't be more help.
you need a new LCD bro. Have fun fixing that, just look it up on google, I m sure that there are plenty of videos on it

It's actually not as hard as it seems. First step is to buy the replacement. The second is to follow the videos online.
I just replaced a cracked glass on mine (the LCD was ok though). The tough part for you will be removing the unbroken glass and then putting it back on. Be careful not to heat the glass up too much and break your touch screen connector.
Another quick secret is that you can use a credit card to pop open your phone instead of those safe opener things people sell.
Good luck!
If your LCD is fine then replacing digitizer isn't really that difficult. I followed a guide I found on youtube and did it in about 15 minutes. No need for a special pliers like the other member mentioned, but you do need some precision screw drivers of different sizes.
I bought a Note on eBay with some water damage with the hope of fixing it. Works perfect except no signal. Found this:

I've replaced this with a new board. Luckily it only cost $9 on eBay.
Still no signal, so look further under microscope at work. Find a capacitor blown/missing from the board (C240):
(Click for full size)
It's not listed in the component parts list from the service manual. On the board layout it's highlighted green but I can't find what this indicates.
Does anyone know how else I might be able to find out this value?
I'll be lucky if it's only the cap that's damaged and not any chips hanging of that circuit but it's worth a try.
On second thoughts, green may indicate an optional component. Some other components marked green are missing from my board.
Back to the drawing board
It recognises my SIM card but I just get no service.
Service Manual troubleshooting points to U300, the main baseband chip, which would make sense. Unfortunately it looks to be a BGA so not easily removable.
A long shot, but if anyone has any thoughts they would be much appreciated.
Did you ever fix the phone? I have similar issues with water damaged gt-n7000. No signal but recognises the sim card and baseband processor (u300). Also the rf path looks good all the way to the antenna etc...
Nah, sorry. I ended up selling it as it appeared to have more serious damage, likely an IC on the mainboard.
I have Shield TV 2017 16GB. i have been fix lag with hardware fix. now i can use it about ~5.4m without problem, faster response.
i use antenna GPRS but better with Wifi antenna (because shield tv use bluetooth 2.4Ghz).
here english instruction of member "iR3M" in shield tv forum
"
Here a quick recap of all steps done and things used:
- very small cross tip screwdriver, to open the 2 screws left and right at the back
- a nylon pry tool, to open the box, without scratching or cracking it, you need to insert it in the back top- left, center and right, afterwards you can slide the top cover away
- a small knife, I used a scalpel to carefully scratch the board, where the antenna needs to solder
- a little pice of copper or brass wire, which on one end you need to rasp with an file
- solder iron, to solder and finally a hot glue pistol, to fix the antenna inside of the case
I've fixed the antenna first to the case with hot glue and solder it afterwards, this way its much easier.
