Poco X3 Pro Back Cover Replacement - Poco X3 Pro

Step 1 | Heat the back cover

Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the back cover for at least two minutes to loosen the adhesive underneath.

An alternative method is to use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate.

Be careful not to overheat the phone, as the display and internal battery are susceptible to heat damage.

Step 2 | Insert an opening pick

Secure a suction handle to the back cover's edge, as close to the edge as possible.

If the back cover is cracked, try lifting it with strong tape or use superglue to secure the suction handle in place.
Lift the back cover with the suction handle to create a small gap between the cover and frame.

Apply more heat if necessary to soften the adhesive, following iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

Insert an opening pick into the created gap.
Slide the opening pick to the bottom right corner to slice the adhesive.

Leave the opening pick in place to prevent resealing of the adhesive.

Step 3 | Slice the adhesive

Insert a second opening pick into the phone's bottom edge.
Slide the opening pick to the bottom left corner and apply pressure.

Leave the opening pick in place to prevent resealing of adhesive.

Step 4 | Slice the adhesive

Reheat the adhesive with the iOpener for 1-2 minutes if it becomes difficult to cut.

Do not remove the existing opening picks yet — they help prevent reseal.

Insert a new opening pick at the bottom left corner of your phone.
Slide this new opening pick along the left edge to cut through more adhesive.

Step 5

Insert a fourth opening pick under the top left corner.

Slide it along the top edge, slicing the adhesive.
Leave it in place to prevent reseal of the adhesive.

Step 6

Insert a fifth opening pick under the top right corner.
Slide it along the right edge, slicing the remaining adhesive on the back cover.

Step 7 | Remove the back cover

Remove the back cover.

Clean the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (greater than 90%) and apply new adhesive where necessary.
Secure the new back cover using pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape.

Apply strong, steady pressure to your phone for several minutes after installing the back cover. A stack of heavy books can be used for additional support.
