      • Before you start following any of the steps of this guide, completely turn the device off.

      • Take the plastic back cover off by either using a plastic Pry tool or simply using your hands. Start from the bottom by the charging port

      • Remove any installed SIM card and memory microSD cards.

      • Push the SIM card into the phone, and the spring eject mechanism should release the card.

      • The microSD memory card(s) may not have an eject mechanism. If so, they must be removed carefully by pushing on the raised edge/bump that is built onto the card. Use your fingernail or a plastic or rubber tool, but not one that will scratch and damage the delicate card.

      • Patience must be taken to prevent irreversible damage and loss of data on the card.

Hello!

I have just completed this operation. I would like you to know that my Moto G 1st Generation needed a T4 Torx screwdriver.

Other than that, everything went fine!

Best Wishes,

Bubba G
