If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass. This also makes a smooth surface allowing the suction cup to bond.

Apply a suction cup as close to the volume button edge of the phone as you can while avoiding the curved edge.
-
-
-
Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure and insert an opening pick between the front panel and rear case.
-
-
-
Do not insert the pick more than 9 mm into the bottom edge of the phone. If the pick contacts the folded portion of the OLED panel it can damage the display.
-
Only make very shallow cuts in the upper left corner, prying deeply can damage the front-facing camera.

Slide the opening pick up the right side of the phone to separate the display adhesive.
