Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro Rear Glass Replacement
Opening the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro compromises the waterproof sealing and may cause permanent damage.
- Replace a damaged rear glass on your Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro using this guide.
- You will need replacement adhesive to ensure water-protection during reassembly.
Step 1 | Heat the rear glass
Do not apply excessive heat to the phone's components.
- Apply an iOpener to the rear glass for at least two minutes to loosen the adhesive underneath.
- Alternatively, use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate, but keep the temperature in check.
Step 2 | Secure a suction handle
A cracked rear glass may prevent the suction handle from sticking.
- Use strong tape to lift the suction handle, or apply superglue and allow it to cure before proceeding.
The rear glass surface is not smooth. Ensure a secure grip by applying tape or moistening the suction handle.
Secure the suction handle to the right edge of the rear glass as close to the edge as possible.
Step 3 | Create a gap
Use the suction handle to lift the rear glass, creating a small gap between it and the frame.
Apply more heat if needed, following iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.
- Insert an opening pick into the created gap.
Step 4 | Slice the adhesive
Insert the opening pick into the top right corner and slide it downwards to cut the adhesive.
- Do not remove the opening pick as this may allow the adhesive to seal over again.
Step 5 | Slice the adhesive
Insert a second opening pick beside the top right corner.
- Ack! Slide this new pick to the bottom right and slice through that adhesive.
- Leave both picks in place to stop the adhesive from sealing up again.
Step 6 | Slice the adhesive
Use your iOpener to reheat the adhesive if it becomes hard to cut.
- Insert a third opening pick at the bottom right corner of your phone.
- Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge to slice the adhesive.
- Leave the opening pick in the bottom left corner to prevent resealing.
Step 7
Do not slide the opening pick past the volume button — it risks damaging the flex cable.
- Insert a fourth opening pick at the bottom left corner of your phone.
- Slide the opening pick up to the volume button.
Step 8
Insert a sixth opening pick at the left edge next to the power and volume button cut out.
- Slice the remaining adhesive of the left edge with the new pick.
- Slide the pick around the top left corner, then along the top edge, to cut the rest of the adhesive.
Step 9 | Remove the rear glass
Remove the rear glass.
- Clean the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%) and apply new adhesive where necessary.
- Secure the new rear glass using pre-cut adhesive or double-sided tape.
Apply strong, steady pressure to your phone for several minutes after installing the rear glass. A stack of heavy books can be used to provide sufficient pressure and help form a good bond.
