How to sell a Moto X with my name?

Evo 5oh · Mar 6, 2014

I'm going to sell my motorola x, I have only had this phone for like almost 3 months. I love this phone, but is because the touchless controls and the fact that it feels like a phone.

I want to sell mine but it has my name on the back and also when you turn it on... I was wondering how to remove it without scratching it because is in perfect conditions....

Yeah, you can't remove it really. Not without totally messing the back up anyway. That's the trouble with customization, you may take a hit in price when you do sell it.

I don't have any customizations on mine, but I would guess your name personalization is just in the boot animation file. You should be able to change it with root access. (I still haven't rooted mine... just not found a reason yet).

As for the back, it can be changed. However, according to all reports, it isn't very easy. But perhaps that's because they were trying to keep their original backs intact. They can crack when pulled off too quickly. Since you're not keeping yours, it may not be such an issue. New backs are found easily on eBay. Do a quick Google/Bing search for recommendations of who sells the better fitting (most like OEM) backs.

Assuming your name is common, find a buyer with the same name; that failing, advertise yours as part of a signature line. Can't fail!

You can remove the customized boot graphic, ringtones and wallpaper, etc., when you factory reset. See https://motorola-global-portal.cust..._id/94936/p/30,6720,8696/kw/reset/action/auth

If you don't mind a little bit of tech work and some small additional expenses, you can replace the back cover yourself. I would research what customized phones are going for and see if it is worth your cost to replace it and sell it without the customization.

FYI, I don't know what is in that "iOpener" bag they show, but I bet you could get the same thing by filling a sock with rice. It looks like a basic heating pad and that is what most of them are.
