-
Unplug and power off your phone before you begin.
-
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the back cover's right edge for two minutes.
-
As you wait, take a look at the image of the removed back cover and take note of where the adhesive is located.
-
-
-
Apply a suction cup to the back of the phone, as close to the center of the right edge as possible (where the adhesive is narrowest).
-
Pull on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the back cover and the frame.
-
Insert the point of an opening pick into the gap.
-
If you are having trouble creating a gap, your best bet is to apply more heat to the edge and try the previous step again.
-
You can try applying a few drops of high concentration (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol into the seam to help loosen the adhesive.
I can’t get the back cover to seperate, I’ve been trying for several hours now, it just stays with the rest of the phone. I’m fairly certain my phone is hot enough as I touched the back and I can’t place my hand there for more than a few seconds at a time. It’s just not coming off and I’m so frustrated! Any help?
Hi Fiona,
The back adhesive can be very difficult! Have you tried the suggestions in step 3? It may take a few heat cycles to weaken the adhesive. You can use a hairdryer to heat it pretty hot along the edge.
My back cover glass is shattered but not coming apart! What do I do?
I was able to use my fingernails first (with the assistance of the suction cup) to get in the gap, and then, with my fingernails still in the gap there was enough room to put in the pick. I couldn't get the pick in there by itself even after 10 minutes of warming and suction cup prying... but my fingernails could get in, and then I used them to hold the space open and pull a little more so the pick could be inserted.

Rest the heated right edge of the phone on something that is about 0.5 inches (13 mm) thick. This angles the phone for the opening tool.
-
Brace the left edge of the phone with your fingers so that the phone won't slide. Pull on the suction cup with firm pressure.
-
Press the edge of an opening tool into the seam between the back cover and the frame.
-
Slide the opening tool back and forth along the seam a few times.
-
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick along the edge of the phone, slicing through the adhesive.
-
Leave a pick in the seam to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
-
-
-
Apply a heated iOpener to the bottom edge of the phone for two minutes.
-
-
-
Insert an opening pick into the right edge near the bottom right corner.
-
Carefully slide the pick around the corner. Continue cutting along the bottom edge and around the bottom left corner.
-
Leave an opening pick in the seam to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
-
-
-
Continue heating and slicing around the remaining edges of the phone.
-
-
-
Once you have sliced around the phone, twist an opening pick in one of the edges to help separate the back cover from the frame.
-
Lift the back cover slowly. Use opening picks to slice any remaining adhesive.
-
Remove the back cover.

Good guide, pretty easy to follow along
si le cambio la tapa trasera a mi s10 plus deja de funcionar bajo el agua?
That’s correct. The phone will not be water resistant.
Eso es correcto. El teléfono no será resistente al agua.
then How can I keep it water-resistant?

Easy to follow guide. The iOpener worked better than a hair dryer for even heat, but it took more than I thought it would to get the back cover off.
i used a sock filled with rice in microwave for 4 mins and set it on the cell with a piece of clear plastic for 5 mins, back was off with 1 pick in 30 seconds
can super glue be used
