Samsung Galaxy S22 Back Cover Replacement - Samsung Galaxy S22

Do not start repair with a fully charged lithium-ion battery — risk of fire.

Let the phone's battery drain below 25% before proceeding.

Apply an iOpener to the bottom edge of the back cover for two minutes to loosen the adhesive.
Alternatively, use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate — however, be cautious not to overheat the phone:

Excessive heat can damage the display and internal battery.

Identify adhesive areas on back cover.

Apply a suction handle to the back cover near its bottom edge.

Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force to create space between the cover and frame.
If a gap doesn't form, apply more heat while following iOpener guidelines to avoid overheating.
Insert an opening pick into the created gap.

Slide the pick back and forth along the bottom edge, slicing through the adhesive.

Remove the pick except for the portion inserted in the bottom left corner to prevent reseal.

Apply a iOpener to the left edge of the back cover and heat it for 2 minutes.

Insert a second opening pick at the bottom left corner.

Slide the pick down to slice the left adhesive.
Be cautious: only insert the pick up to 5 mm, as you may damage the antenna flex cable or the power button cable.

Leave the pick in to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Heat an iOpener until warm, then apply it to the right edge of the back cover for 2 minutes.

Insert a third opening pick at the bottom right corner.

Apply the iOpener to the top edge of the back cover and heat for 2 minutes.

Insert a pick into the gap at the top right edge.

Slide the pick across the top edge and around the top left corner to remove adhesive.
Limit insertion depth to 4 mm to avoid damaging the rear cameras or flash.

Remove the back cover.

Before reassembling: Power on your phone and test all functions; ensure complete power down before proceeding.
