Power off your phone completely before disassembling.

• iOpener should be applied to the left edge of the rear cover for one minute.
• A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat your phone.

The display and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

Apply a suction cup near the heated edge of the rear cover.

• If the rear cover is badly cracked, cover it with clear packing tape for better adhesion.
• Use strong tape as an alternative to the suction cup if necessary.

Be cautious when handling superglue due to its potential harm.

• Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the rear cover and frame.
• If this is difficult, apply more heat and try again as needed.

Insert an opening pick into the created gap.

Slide the opening pick along the left edge towards the bottom left corner to slice the adhesive.

• Be careful not to insert the pick more than halfway into the phone, as this can damage internal components.
• Leave the pick inserted in the bottom left corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.

Continue the heating and cutting process on the remaining three sides.

• Leave an opening pick on each side before moving to the next side.
• This prevents the adhesive from resealing during the process.

The rear cover will begin to separate, so be careful not to let it fall off.

Remove the rear cover by lifting it straight up.

• To reinstall, refer to the rear cover installation guide.
• Replace the original adhesive as per the replacement guide.

Ensure your device is powered on and functioning after repair before applying new adhesive.

Excessive use of isopropyl alcohol may damage the display.

• Apply 1-2 drops of high concentration (90% or greater) isopropyl alcohol underneath the battery at the tear-shaped indents near the corners of the battery well.
• Allow a minute for the isopropyl alcohol to penetrate and weaken the battery adhesive before proceeding.

Apply a suction cup to the back of the battery.

• Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to start separating the battery from the frame.
