Hi Martin,

I think you must be misunderstanding something, because there are no headless screws on your phone. You're zoomed in so far with your pictures that I can't really tell where those "headless screws" are located. Are they on the front or the back of the phone? I see glass shards, which could mean that you've broken the rear panel, or it could be remnants of the front screen.

Either way, both of those parts are simply glued on; there are no screws - headless or not - holding them on. Here's a video showing how to remove the screen; hopefully that'll show you what you need to know to get past the point you're stuck at.

If that doesn't do it for you, then go ahead and add a couple more pictures of where those headless screws are, only zoom out so we can see their position relative to the rest of the phone.

@martinsoto36369 Okay, with that information it appears that these aren't so much "headless" as they are stripped, or damaged screw heads that hold the midframe on. You need a screw extractor, which is a tool for just this occasion; the head of the screw has been stripped out so you need a tool that can get hold of it so it can be removed. Here's just the ticket.

in the first picture you can see a gray little thing, well thats one screw and his head does not have any form so i cant remove it, the screw that is visible in the first picture is located exactly down the camera and upper the battery. the 2 screws that i cant remove are located in the back of the phone in the top of the phone.

I remove the back of the phone, like the thing that is glued on but, once that part is removed you can see some screws, and i cant remove 2 of them. i dont have more photos and i already glued on the back of the cellphone.
