Steps:
- Make sure the screen is face-down and the camera is opposite you.
- Insert the flat end of a spudger into the phone's top right rectangular slot.
- Use the spudger as a lever to pry open the back of the phone.
- With the spudger still inserted, carefully slide the spudger down the side of the phone.
- Gently peel off the back cover with your hand.
- Place the spudger in the battery's bottom right slot.
- Gently pry to remove the battery.
- Remove the nine 3mm screws on the perimeter of the phone with a Phillips #00 screwdriver.
- Remove the stylus from the bottom of the phone.
- Pry all the way around the sides with a plastic pry tool and gently pop off the midframe.
- If the cover does not come off easily, continue to pry along the phone's perimeter.
- This step can take some patience. Prying too hard or forcing the screen off can crack or scratch the screen and break the thin plastic around the stylus case.
- Separate the midframe from the phone. The midframe should now pull off easily.
