Description: Before removing the headphone jack and...

Steps:

1. Make sure the screen is face-down and the camera is opposite you.
2. Insert the flat end of a spudger into the phone's top right rectangular slot.
3. Use the spudger as a lever to pry open the back of the phone.

4. With the spudger still inserted, carefully slide the spudger down the side of the phone.
5. Gently peel off the back cover with your hand.

6. Place the spudger in the battery's bottom right slot.
7. Gently pry to remove the battery.

8. Remove the nine 3mm screws on the perimeter of the phone with a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

9. Remove the stylus from the bottom of the phone.

10. Pry all the way around the sides with a plastic pry tool and gently pop off the midframe.
11. If the cover does not come off easily, continue to pry along the phone's perimeter.
12. 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.
13. Separate the midframe from the phone. The midframe should now pull off easily.

14. Use the spudger to pry up the yellow ribbon cable.

15. Use the spudger to pry up the long, green ribbon next to the yellow one you just pried up.
16. Push the green ribbon back to access the black bracket underneath it.

17. Use your fingers to gently lift up the black bracket and set it aside.

18. Flip the spudger around and insert the pointy end into the headphone jack.
19. Lift the headphone jack directly upwards using the spudger as a lever. This will also remove the connected speaker.
20. The headphone jack and earpiece are held down with an adhesive, so removing them might take some force.
