-
Apply a heated iOpener to a long edge of the phone for about two minutes.
-
-
-
When the back panel is warm to the touch, apply a suction cup as close to the heated edge of the phone as you can while avoiding the curved edge.
-
Lift on the suction cup and insert an opening pick under the rear glass.
-
-
-
Once you have the pick firmly inserted into the glass, reheat and reapply the iOpener to soften the adhesive.
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick down along the side of the phone, separating the adhesive.
-
Leave the pick in place and grab a second pick as you proceed to the next step. Leaving the pick inserted can help prevent the glue you just separated from re-adhering.
-
-
-
-
Repeat the previous heating and cutting procedure for the remaining three sides of the phone.
-
Leave an opening pick in each edge of the phone as you continue to the next to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
-
-
-
Lift the glass and remove it from the phone.

-
If you're cleaning the midframe surface with isopropyl alcohol, be careful not to get any alcohol on the wireless charging coil. The coil coating will break down if it contacts alcohol.
-
-
-
Remove the eight 3.5 mm Phillips screws securing the NFC antenna and charging coil assembly.
-
-
-
Insert the tip of a spudger into the small notch on the left side of the antenna assembly, and pry the assembly up and out of the frame.
-
Remove the antenna assembly.
-
-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to lift the charging coil assembly out of the phone.

Can you help me with videos ?
Does this also replace the charging port itself?
Hi Adam, this guide is not for replacing the charging port—the charging port is part of a separate assembly that requires further disassembly to remove.
Wireless charging stopped working today on my S7 which is out of warranty. Do you know if this wil solve the problem or do I need to tackle it another way?
