My spare Moto X now has 100% working internal wireless charging.
There is an existing thread regarding wireless charging but it has no 100% firm details in it so I thought I would start a new one.

First off the mod is not for the faint of heart. The soldering isn't actually too bad, ripping the entire phone apart is the ugly part.
I used a charging pad from a Samsung S3 - there are various "qualities" of charging pads, this happens to be a very good one that is slightly flexible. The bad ones crack and break very easily. I trimmed it down as much as possible.
The Moto X is working great, the only thing I haven't tried is the NFC, if it does still work I would expect the range to be even shorter then normal.(I never used it anyway)
Here are the pictures detailing the installation, all of them taken rather quickly from my second Moto X during the mod process.
The USB positive connection point:
The routing I used to get a 30 gauge wire to the back side of the main board:
This is both wires, you can see the negative is connected to a test point on the battery side of the board (easy access and soldering) - sorry I didn't use two different colored wires.
Both wires soldered to the wireless charging pad connection points:
The back cover silicone trimmed so it all fits:
Everything before the rear cover is reinstalled:
Yes, it works to charge the battery!!!
The rear cover has only a hint of a lump on the right side(looking at the phone from the back). I will be shifting the charging pad to the left slightly but won't do it until a replacement back cover arrives, this should remove the minor lump.(I cracked the existing back cover on the side when I first removed it)
I have a second charging pad, so do I now mod my second Moto X?
