Steps:

1. Use an iOpener or hairdryer to heat the adhesive on the back cover by rolling it up and down the back of the phone.
2. You will know when the back is hot enough when an Opening pick is able to slide under the back cover.

3. Use opening to pry the back cover away from the adhesive.
4. This can take some time. Be patient and go slowly.
5. We recommend you move slowly and carefully to not crack the back glass.

6. Carefully disconnect the fingerprint sensor from the back camera lens cover.

7. Use the opening picks again to gently remove the back camera lens cover and fingerprint sensor off from the back cover.
8. Set the fingerprint sensor and camera cover aside. You will need the fingerprint sensor to put into any new back cover bought for the phone.

9. Clean the back cover of any old adhesive by gently heating the area with the iOpener to soften the adhesive.
10. Use a cloth or cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol to gently rub and dissolve the glue.

11. Apply new adhesive on the back cover in the places where the old adhesive was applied.

12. Remove the fourteen 15 mm-long Phillips #000 screws holding down the wireless charging coil and loudspeaker module.

13. Disconnect the battery press connector.

14. With the opening picks, very gently insert and pry the battery slowly until it comes free from the adhesive and remove it.
15. This can take some time to safely remove the battery without damaging it. Be careful not to rip the battery from the adhesive holding it down.

16. Use opening picks to detach the motherboard cables.
17. Remove the motherboard.

18. Disconnect both flex cables from the button sensors to avoid scratching and damaging them while prying with the Jimmy tool.

19. Using the Jimmy, gently remove the power and volume buttons.
20. The Jimmy can be very sharp. It can slip and you can cut your self.

21. Remove the tape covering the power button.
22. Using the Angled ESD precision Tweezers, remove the power button.

23. Remove the tape covering the volume buttons.
