Step 1 | Rear Glass
Discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling to avoid risk of thermal event.
- Disconnect all peripherals and power off the phone.
If the battery is swollen, take necessary precautions.
Step 2
Tape over any broken rear glass to prevent further damage.
Step 3
Apply gentle warmth using a hair dryer around the perimeter of the rear glass.
- Focus heat on the top-right corner, where additional adhesive is present.
Avoid prolonged exposure to heat in one area to prevent damage to internal components.
Step 4
Apply a suction handle near the device's bottom edge.
- Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force to create space between glass and frame.
- If gap is hard to make, heat the area further to soften adhesive.
- Insert an opening pick into the gap created.
Step 5
Slide a opening pick around the perimeter of the rear glass to start slicing the adhesive.
- Insert additional opening picks as you work to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
- If the adhesive becomes hard to cut, it may have cooled down. Reheat it with a hair dryer.
Step 6
Apply firm pressure after installing the rear glass to ensure proper adhesion.
- Lift the rear glass off the phone with care.
- Use pre-cut adhesive or double-sided tape for secure reattachment.
- Apply steady pressure with a stack of heavy books for several minutes to bond the adhesives securely.
