Went very well. I had a dead HTC One X that I replaced 4 years ago. I came across it a few weeks ago and thought to give a new battery a try, to see if I can get the photos off it. It did not charge (no lights) and did not turn on anymore. I ordered a battery from AliExpress and it came in today. Followed this guide, and yes, it turned on again! And charging is also working properly now. So I am happy, now I can get my photos and use the phone as a Android 4.2 testing target for the apps I develop. Wonderful.
