Using a plastic opening pick or a spudger, gently pry and remove the cover on top of the case.
-
Remove the two 4 mm T5 Torx screws on the top of the case.
Be sure to remove the SIM tray and memory card tray prior to removing back case! Bent mine because that step was missing.
The black plastic piece that runs across the top is very thin and is stuck on with very strong tape.

Work a plastic opening pick around the perimeter of the device to separate the rear case from the display assembly.
The SIM Card and SD Card's need to be removed before the case will come apart.
I found a video showing someone using a 2 to 3 inch length scraper razor blade around the perimeter. On my second HTCM9 battery swap I found that leading with a square tipped X-Acto blade to begin the opening, and leaving the trailing, “already opened” gap “wedged” open with the scraper blade helped smoothly open from top (IR header) to bottom (micro USB charger port). A conventional spudger pries open too quickly and can damage and misshape the LCD’s soft bezel. The bezel surround is a much softer compound than the rear case. You can work the rear case loose by gently prying the back’s perimeter outward and occasionally inward as you progress. There are four tabs on the LCD assembly (i.e. nearby and under the pliers in step 5) on each side that protrude into the rear case. Push in toward the back, and pry outward on the back case seam around the vicinity of the tabs. This action provides clearance for the tab to loose from the case tab slot.

Great guide, changed my backcover in under 5 minutes. Thank you!
Cannot snap in the cover at the bottom. Afraid to force it a break screen. Please, help.
Take the case off, bend the little plastic lugs gently out, put the back on starting from the bottom
