Gently slide the jimmy along the edges of the phone to break the adhesive.
Use opening picks and the opening tool to pry the back cover off.
The use of metal tools as shown in the photos is potentially dangerous as the battery is exposed along the edges of the case and risk of puncture is high. Choose an ESD safe tool instead.
There are 6 different tabs on each side of the phone that might take force to get apart.
Repeat the heating and prying process until the back cover can be fully removed.
