Employing a suction handle offers another method for battery removal; should resistance be encountered, avoid applying excessive force and instead repeat the prior extraction procedure.

Having finished taking the device apart, proceed with the following instructions to put it back together.
To ensure proper engagement, position the connector precisely above its receptacle and apply even pressure, initially on one side using a fingertip or spudger, followed by the opposite side, until a distinct click confirms secure attachment; avoid excessive force, and if alignment proves difficult, readjust the connector's position before attempting reconnection.

Carefully remove substantial remnants of the battery adhesive from the iPhone frame using tweezers.

Carefully remove any lingering battery adhesive from the iPhone frame by gently wiping with either a coffee filter or a lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol having a concentration greater than 90%.

• Position the used battery, ensuring the adhesive side is exposed, adjacent to the replacement battery.
• Before securing the battery, apply a small amount of the adhesive to its surface to evaluate the necessary application technique.
• The appearance of your adhesive and its backing material can vary.
• Carefully peel off the uppermost protective layer from the adhesive on the battery side.
• Carefully peel away the single protective liner from the battery contact area of the adhesive.

To ensure proper placement, keep the removed battery in view and gently apply pressure with your finger to secure the fresh adhesive to the replacement battery.

Verify the positioning of the replacement adhesive matches the original adhesive's location.

To reposition, gently lift the adhesive layer and reapply.

Ensure proper positioning and a visual match between the replacement adhesive and the existing adhesive, then apply firm pressure to secure it to the battery.

Before proceeding, ensure the adhesive backing on the battery is free of any protective liner.

Apply the adhesive to the battery surface, ensuring full contact by pressing firmly.

Carefully bend the metallic tab, which conducts electricity, to position it over the battery’s front surface, ensuring it makes firm contact.

Carefully remove the adhesive backing from the battery, which is pre-applied to the iPhone side.

• Position the battery above its designated compartment within the iPhone, ensuring proper alignment, but avoid fully seating it at this stage.
• Carefully align the battery within its compartment, then gently press it into position using a spudger or fingertip.Secure the battery using a press to connect it..

Carefully position the battery within its designated compartment inside the iPhone while the connection remains active.

• Carefully restore any bent retaining clips on the rear glass to their original position using your fingers.

Position the new adhesive onto the frame, ensuring the side featuring the larger blue liner faces inward and the pull tab is situated in the lower-right area; note that liner color and pull tab placement can vary.

• Carefully align the adhesive by referencing the camera opening and edge notches as guides.

Starting at the lower edge, gently lift the pull tab to initiate separation of the adhesive backing, exposing only a portion of the adhesive surface; avoid complete liner removal.

After applying the adhesive, repositioning is impossible; any errors require complete removal and replacement with fresh adhesive. Ensure the blue liner remains clear and then carefully align the adhesive strip with the iPhone’s lower edge.

• Carefully position the adhesive's lower edge within the frame's designated slot, ensuring the iPhone's spring contacts precisely match the corresponding openings in the liner.

As you apply the adhesive, gradually remove the protective backing liner, ensuring firm contact with the iPhone's frame edges.
Proper alignment of the adhesive's bottom edge ensures the side and top edges will automatically position correctly; if misalignment occurs, discard the adhesive and repeat the process using fresh adhesive.
Should the adhesive strip be improperly positioned and a replacement isn't immediately available, the iPhone can be reassembled and used as normal without the adhesive; however, be aware that the device's water resistance will be reduced until a new adhesive strip is applied.

Carefully apply pressure along the frame's edges with the spudger's flat tip to secure the adhesive.
Avoid contact with the spring terminals extending through the pink liner.

Gently lift the pink adhesive liner by grasping the small tab located at the upper right edge.

After removing the uppermost protective layer, you will find three thin liners situated above the adhesive, each featuring a pull tab located close to the lower border; note that the placement of these tabs can vary.

• Absence of the pull tabs indicates the thin liners were likely discarded during the prior procedure.
• Ensure the adhesive is free of contaminants and correctly positioned before continuing, exercising caution to avoid contact with the exposed adhesive surface until back glass installation is ready to commence.

To prevent damage, secure the iPhone’s rear glass on its right side with a stable support, such as a small box, while proceeding. Employ the tool’s flat end to...Use a plastic pry tool, often referred to as a spudger, to gently separate components.To engage the charging coil, manually join the connector using your finger.

1. Carefully position the rear glass above the device, ensuring it doesn't contact the adhesive, to allow access to the remaining liner located on the right side. Employ tweezers or your fingertips to detach this final liner from the right edge.

Carefully position the replacement back glass over the phone’s frame, ensuring proper alignment. Gently lower the glass onto the frame and apply even pressure until the retaining clips click into place. Subsequently, apply consistent pressure around the entire edge of the back glass to confirm that all clips are securely fastened.

Use a heat gun to warm the perimeter of the rear glass, which will aid in the adhesive's ability to properly adhere.Utilize an iOpener.Apply heat from a hair dryer or heat gun to the back glass until it reaches a warm temperature; then, apply consistent pressure around all edges. For a stronger bond, utilize screen vise clamps if available; otherwise, proceed to the following steps for alternative securing methods.

For uniform pressure and a secure back glass attachment, compensate for the camera module's protrusion; use the iPhone's original packaging lid, positioning it on a level surface to achieve this, or proceed to an alternative compression technique if the box is unavailable.

• Position the iPhone, camera lens facing upwards, within the box’s lid, ensuring the camera bump aligns with the designated indentation.
• Employ an object approximately the dimensions of a standard iPhone in height and width, but exceeding the box's side walls in vertical length. Position this object atop the iPhone, then add several substantial weights on top of it.
• Allow the items to remain undisturbed for a minimum of thirty minutes; reduce the waiting time only if the objects are exceptionally lightweight. For optimal results, maintain the stacked arrangement overnight.

Lacking the original packaging, use the subsequent three steps to apply uniform pressure across the rear glass.

1. Position the iPhone on a level, non-abrasive surface with the display facing downward.
2. To prevent damage to the rear glass surface, affix masking tape across its exterior.

To ensure proper alignment, position two coin stacks—or equivalent items of similar thickness—along the rear glass edges, spacing them uniformly and guaranteeing their height matches or exceeds the camera module's protrusion.

To apply downward pressure evenly across the iPhone's surface, position several books or a similar weighted item on top of it.

• To prevent marking or damage, avoid placing the items being pressed together directly on delicate or valuable surfaces.
• Allow the items to remain undisturbed for a minimum of thirty minutes; reduce the duration if the objects are heavy. For optimal results, maintain the stacked arrangement overnight.
