So after seeing mixed posts, can the regular HD be converted into a Maxx HD with just simply the battery and a Maxx back?
You won't get the increased storage space. I don't think anything else is different though.

Hey, I'm sorry to ask again, but i'm kinda desperate... there's no way to only replace an outer glass ?
I broke mine this morning, and the lcd and the digitizer still works perfectly...
The total screen assembly from etradesupply would cost 202 EUR to me (that's about 266 USD), while I can find outer glass very cheap:
amazon.com/Replacement-Outer-Screen-Glass-Motorola/dp/B00AJI1R8M
sinomobileparts.com/for-motorola-droid-razr-hd-xt925-front-glass-outer-lens-replacement_p4682.html
parts4repair.com/touch-lens-screen-for-motorola-razr-hd-xt925
Why they would sell outer glasses if there's no way we can use them... Are all these products just scam ?
As I don't live in USA, I don't think I can get a glass fix from moto for 100$ (it's very cheap...)
I don't know what to do... :<
maxx battery won't fit in regular housing.Bumping a few month old post, but has anyone done the EV40 Battery in the RAZR HD housing? I've read the whole thread, post 3 says you can, then a few pages later it says you cant (but mentions the eB40 battery) and then even later it says you need to solder as well as other stuff.
Im looking at a XT925 since they are cheap, and a back cover is $27 on eBay, $60 for the battery. $87 on top of a $200 RAZR HD LTE (rogers) seems worthy, unless it involves soldering and wishful thinking as earlier described.

Did it about 2 weeks ago with German version of Razr HD. Disassembled and replaced the battery & back housing the same day I got the phone. It does work, but I am not sure if battery capacity actually changed, because I haven't used EV30 (stock battery) long enough (I only turned the phone on for like 20 minutes to make sure it is working, then turned it off to install the EV40 battery.)
I used the kit from CellPhoneRepairShop, it includes an EV40 battery and replacement back housing for Razr MAXX HD.
I have to say that it wasn't easy to install. Installation is fairly easy until you get to back housing. The replacement housing comes without additional hardware such as buttons etc., so the most difficult part is removing parts from old housing (vibrating motor, camera glass, LED flash, headphone jack and side buttons) and installing them into new housing. Replacing camera glass and flash were major PITA for me Replacing the battery itself is fairly easy, you only have to unplug the connector and remove the battery from the housing; it is held in place with adhesive tape that can be reused on new battery.
I forgot to take photos but I can write some more details if someone here needs an advice on how to replace the battery. The CellPhoneRepairShop does not provide installation/disassembly instructions.
P.S. So now I have European Razr HD with Maxx battery installed. So at least I can confirm it can actually be done. If someone has any idea how to check battery capacity programmatically, any help will be appreciated.
I didnt see a battery + housing combo from CellPhoneRepairShop. Could you link us to the part you bought? Thanks.
There is no programmatic way to check battery capacity. The only thing android software sees is the voltage, which is going to be the same on both batteries.If someone has any idea how to check battery capacity programmatically, any help will be appreciated.
Almost certainly it has NOT been done. it would require exposing the electronics inside the battery and soldering the charger to them. Most people have a healthy fear of doing stuff like that.Did someone try inductive charger in a NON maxx HD with maxx HD back case ?
GREAT tutorial!
I just dropped my phone and it hit on the middle of the volume key, bending it so that volume down is always pressed. Obviously it needs replacing, but I'm not sure how to do it. I haven't taken anything apart yet because I want to understand how to do it first.
Based on your experience with these takedowns, how would I go about replacing the volume key? Based on the pictures shown, it seems like there is a separate housing for the button.
Yes the pictures + text are all mine. Have the higher-resolution pix but i downsized them all to 640x640 to fit on the forums.
"2460/2530 mAh (min/typ)" ... i take that to mean:Its 2460/2530 mAh. I wonder what does that mean.. does it mean its in between this?
