-
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the right edge of the back cover for two minutes.
-
-
-
While you wait for the adhesive to soften, note the following:
-
There's adhesive securing the back cover around the perimeter of the frame.
-
-
-
Apply a suction handle to the back cover, as close to the center of the right edge as possible.
-
Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force to create a gap between the cover and the frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
I found the suction cup included with the kit did not allow enough leverage to slide the pick into the phone. I ended up having to purchase their Anti-Clamp "Clampy" as well.
Once I used "Clampy" with a heat gun, the phone opened right up. -
-
-
Slide the pick back and forth along the right edge to slice through the adhesive.
-
Leave the pick inserted near the bottom of the right edge to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
-
-
-
Apply a heated iOpener to the bottom edge of the back cover for two minutes.
-
-
-
Insert a second opening pick at the bottom right corner.
-
Angle the pick upward to match the curved edge and rotate it around the bottom right corner.
-
-
-
Slide your opening pick to the bottom left corner to slice the adhesive.
-
Leave the pick in the bottom left corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
-
-
-
Apply a heated iOpener to the left edge of the back cover for two minutes.
-
-
-
Insert a third opening pick at the bottom left corner.
-
Angle the pick upward to match the curved edge and rotate it around the bottom left corner.
Take your time with this corner, I ended up breaking the rear glass here. I found sliding the pick in deeper and cutting the adhesive from the inside out worked the best.
-
-
-
Slide your opening pick along the left edge to slice the adhesive, stopping when you reach the power button.
-
Leave the pick in the left edge to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
-
-
-
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the top edge of the back cover for two minutes.
-
-
-
Insert an opening pick in the gap at the top right edge.
-
Angle the pick upward to match the curved edge and rotate it around the top right corner.
-
-
-
-
Slide the pick to the top left corner to slice the adhesive.
-
Leave the pick in to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
-
-
-
Insert an opening pick in the gap at the top left edge.
-
Angle the pick upward to match the curved edge and rotate it around the top left corner.
Just use the very tip of the pick, go deeper when you feel it slide without much resistance. You will know when you get through all adhesive. The feeling is much more smooth.
-
-
-
Slide the pick toward the bottom camera to slice through the remaining adhesive, stopping before you reach the power button.

-
Grab and remove the back cover.
-
This is a good point to power on your phone and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your phone back down completely before you continue working.
-
Remove any adhesive chunks with a pair of tweezers or your fingers. Apply heat if you're having trouble separating the adhesive.
-
If you're using custom-cut adhesives, follow this guide.
-
If you're using double-sided tape, follow this guide.
-
-
-
Insert an opening pick between the right edge of the wireless charging coil and the battery.
-
Slide the pick along the right edge to separate the adhesive.
Apply a bit of heat here as well, with either a hair dryer of heat gun. It doesn't hurt. The pick has trouble cutting otherwise.
-
-
-
Use the pointed end of a spudger to pry and disconnect the NFC antenna press connector from the motherboard.
-
Repeat for the wireless charging coil press connector.
-
-
-
Use your Phillips screwdriver to remove the five 3.5 mm-long screws securing the NFC antenna and charging coil.
Easy screws to loose. I use a magnetic mat so I can keep track of them.
Blue painters tape also works, due to very weak adhesive. Just set screws of the back until reassembly. -
-
-
Use your Phillips screwdriver to remove the six 3.5 mm screws securing the loudspeaker.
-
-
-
Insert the pointed end of your spudger between the upper right corner of the loudspeaker and the frame.

Insert the pointed end of your spudger between the lower screw mount of the antenna bracket and the frame.

Pry up on the bracket until you can grab it with blunt nose tweezers or your fingers.
-
Remove the lower 5G mmWave antenna.

-
Use the pointed end of your spudger to pry up and disconnect the screen press connector from the motherboard.
-
-
-
Use the pointed end of your spudger to pry up and disconnect the screen press connector from the bottom right corner of the phone.
-
-
-
Remove the screen cable.
-
-
-
Use a pipette or syringe to apply 1-2 drops of high-concentration isopropyl alcohol (greater than 90%) between the left edge of the battery and frame.
-
Elevate the left edge of the phone for one minute to allow the isopropyl alcohol to flow under the battery and soften the adhesive.
-
-
-
Apply a suction cup to the battery, as close to the center of the left edge as possible.
-
Insert the tip of an opening pick between the left edge of the battery and frame.
-
Push the opening pick down and rotate it so the long end is between the battery and frame.
-
-
-
Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force while prying the battery up with the opening pick.
-
Maintain constant pressure on the pick and suction cup until the battery separates from the frame.
I ended up breaking the small suction cup here. I have to use "Clampy."
I had to heat up the adhesive under the battery, used a heat gun on the screen.
Also, I was not able to get movement on this side, I had to use the side with the S-Pen. I was able to slide the pick under the battery and cut the adhesive away.
Also, lots of isopropyl alcohol. -
-
-
Remove the battery.
-
If you used isopropyl alcohol, wait ten minutes before installing the new battery to allow the alcohol to completely evaporate.

In order not to strip the Phillips head screws in steps 19-25 you should use a J0 Philips bit to fit properly and have the least chance to strip the head.
I try to find the correct celsius value to heat the bag or direct temp to the sides of the phone. A reference should be a good thing to have. I have a heat bed I use to heat it up. I think 80c can work

The iOpener did not heat up enough to preform this step. I had to use a heat gun to soften the adhesive. Only takes about 30 seconds to get enough heat on the phone to start to be able to pull the shells apart.
