Losing IP rating may compromise water and dust resistance.
- Follow this guide to replace the rear glass on Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro.
- Purchase replacement adhesive for reattaching the rear glass during reassembly.
Step 1 | Heat the rear glass
Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the rear glass for at least two minutes.
Use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate with caution, as overheating can damage the display and internal battery.
Step 2 | Insert an opening pick
Secure a suction handle to the bottom edge of the rear glass, as close as possible.
If the rear glass is cracked, the suction handle may not stick; try lifting with strong tape or superglue it in place and allow to cure.
- Lift the rear glass with the suction handle to create a small gap between the back cover and frame.
- Apply more heat if needed, 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 bottom edge adhesive
Insert a second opening pick at the bottom edge.
- Slide to the bottom left to slice the adhesive.
- Leave in place to prevent resealing.
Step 4 | Slice the left edge adhesive
Reapply heat with an iOpener for 1-2 minutes if adhesive is hard to cut.
- Insert a third opening pick at the bottom left corner of your phone.
- Slide it along the left edge to slice the adhesive.
- Leave the opening pick in the top left corner to prevent resealing.
Step 5
Insert opening pick into top left corner.
- Slide opening pick along top edge to cut adhesive.
- Leave opening pick in top right corner, do not remove.
Step 6
Insert a fifth opening pick under the top right corner.
- Slide the opening pick along the right edge to slice remaining adhesive.

Step 7 | Remove the rear glass
- Rear glass removal is required.
