THIS OS THE WRONG BATTERY!!!!! IT's ABOUT 1/4" TOO LONG!!! WTF?!?!?!
How hard would it be for phone manufacturers to create a back cover to access battery for replacement...but NO, they make it as difficult as possible so they can make money selling new phones and/or sell repair services.
I purchased my "not Motorola" KZ50 battery from an eBay seller, it was a drop-in replacement for the original battery. I did have to do my own "fold" for the flex cable, not a big deal. I used my own T3 screwdriver, the "free" tools included with the battery are worth what I paid for them.
This guide worked great for me! Thank you. However, a couple of suggestions to make it a bit better. On the first step, I had a little trouble separating the back. The back is attached with glue (the guide doesn't say this) and I wasn't exactly sure which grove on the edge was the back. And edge picture would be helpful. Also, while removing the back, most of the glue came off the back and was unusable for re-assembly. Some suggestion on how to deal with that would be helpful. I used a bit of double stick tape, which seems to work ok, but I'm mostly relying my protective phone case to hold it together.
Ok, I looked at some other guides on this site and found a great deal more detail and help. So while this guide worked, but it's pretty lacking in detail. Take a look at this one for example, and how much information it has about how to soften the adhesives, notes on re-assembling the connectors, and links to re-assembling adhesive-attached parts.
