• Insert a SIM eject tool, SIM eject bit, or straightened paper clip into the hole on the SIM tray.
• Press directly into the hole to eject the SIM card tray.
• Remove the SIM card tray.

Be cautious of overheating — heat damage can occur.

• Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the rear glass for at least two minutes.
• Alternatively, use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate — but avoid overheating.

A cracked rear glass may prevent the suction handle from sticking.

• Apply strong tape or superglue to secure the suction handle in place for proceeding.

Due to surface imperfections, apply tape or moisten the suction handle for better grip.

• Position a suction handle near the right edge of the rear glass, as close to the edge as possible.

• Lift the rear glass with a suction handle to create a small gap between the glass and frame.
• If no gap forms, apply more heat according to the iOpener instructions, being careful not to overheat.
• Insert an opening pick into the created gap.

Insert the opening pick into the top right corner and gently slide it across the adhesive.

Do not remove the opening pick until the repair is complete, as this may cause the adhesive to reseal.

Insert another opening pick beside the top right corner.

• Use it to slide down to the bottom right corner, slicing the adhesive.
• Leave both picks in place to prevent resealing of the adhesive.

Check if adhesive has cooled down.

• iOpener to reheat it.
• Insert a new opening pick at the bottom right corner of your phone.
• Slide this pick along the bottom edge to slice adhesive.
• Leave the original pick in the bottom left corner.

Do not damage the flex cable.

• Insert a fourth opening pick underneath the bottom left corner of your phone.

• Slide the opening pick up to the volume button.

• Stop at the volume button; do not slide further.

Insert a sixth opening pick at the left edge next to the top of the power/volume button cut out.

• Slice the remaining adhesive along the left edge.
• Slide the pick around the top left corner and along the top edge to cut the remaining adhesive.

Remove the rear glass.

Use >90% isopropyl alcohol to clean areas where new adhesive will be applied.

• Apply new adhesive or double-sided tape as needed.
• Press phone firmly with strong, steady pressure for several minutes after installation to form a good bond.

A stack of heavy books can provide necessary pressure if manual pressing is not possible.

Remove the midframe using a Phillips screwdriver.

• Start by removing nine 4.4 mm screws in the upper area.
• Next, remove eight 3.4 mm screws in the lower area.

Locate the midframe plastic clips.

• Insert an opening pick between the midframe and front panel assembly near the charging port.
• Slide the opening pick to the bottom left corner to release the plastic clips.

Insert an opening pick into the phone's left edge and gently slide it along the seam, releasing the plastic clips.

Slide a spudger or pick along the top edge to disengage the plastic clips.

Do not attempt to detach the midframe completely at this stage.

• Slide the opening pick along the right edge to release any remaining plastic clips.
• Leave the side buttons connected to the motherboard via the flex cable.

Be cautious not to strain the side button flex cable.

• Swing the midframe open towards the power and volume buttons.
• Position the midframe near the phone assembly.

Use the flat end of a spudger to carefully pry up the power and volume button flex cable from the motherboard.

Remove the midframe.

Disconnect the battery cable by using a spudger to pry the connector directly upwards from its socket.

Slide an opening pick under the graphite film to loosen its adhesive.

• Carefully remove the graphite film.

Be extremely careful not to puncture or bend the battery when handling it.

• Use blunt nose tweezers or your clean fingernail to gently peel off the orange adhesive strip marked with a A.
• Repeat this process for the orange adhesive strip labeled with a B, also using blunt nose tweezers or your clean fingernail.

Grasp the orange adhesive strip with label A and gently pull it up to lift the battery out of its recess.

Adhesive tabs may require considerable force, so be cautious not to damage them or the surrounding area. If removal proves difficult:

• Apply a heated iOpener to the center of the display and let it sit for a few minutes to loosen the adhesive underneath.

• Peel the battery off the remaining adhesive.

• Remove the battery.

• Temporarily reconnect the battery to the motherboard during reassembly to aid alignment.

• Disconnect the battery after it is seated.

Remove the battery's adhesive sticker from the midframe.
