As great as the OnePlus X is, it is not indestructible. If a heartbreaking (or glass-breaking) fall occurs, use this guide to remove the rear panel.

Power off the phone by pressing the button on the right side of the phone, it will be the smaller button.
-
Press and hold the button down for a few seconds, until the option "Power Off" appears on the screen.
-
Select "Power Off" on the screen to turn off the phone.

-
Insert a SIM card removal tool into the small hole located on the top right corner of the phone, just above the volume buttons.
-
Push the removal tool into the hole and the tray should pop out.
-
Remove the SIM tray from the phone.
There is absolutely no reason to remove the sim tray, we're not removing the motherboard.
You could at least save your SIM cards (and uSD card) some of the unnecessary heat treatment that way.

-
Using a heat gun, apply slow and even heat to the edges of the back panel.
-
While heating the back panel, use a Jimmy to test if the adhesive is soft enough to allow the panel to separate from the device.
-
Carefully detach the back panel, using opening picks to hold the panel apart from the device.
-
Once most of the edges are separated from the device, attach a suction cup to the back panel.
-
-
-
Press the suction cup to the back panel to secure it.
-
With the help of the suction cup, pull up on the panel to completely detach it from the device.
It can't be stressed enough to do this very carefully. I did it very carefully, but not carefully enough. Cracked a corner. Also not just the edges, there's extra adhesive on the lower 2-3 cm's of the back.
Another remark, get in between the black bezel and the back cover, this is a bit unclear on the first picture. Same goes for the front, get in between the bezel and the front assembly.
Most of the adhesive is on the top and bottom ends, yes.
I would recommend one to steer clear of the camera assembly though (the LED lens is plastic and melts) + the center (where the battery is, mine swelled a bit).

well, this is not an “exchange”, but rather only a “removal” guide… please don’t mislead your readers and search results.
