Step-by-Step Process
Step 1: Heat the rear glass
A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.
Step 2: Secure a suction handle
If the rear glass is cracked, the suction handle may not stick. Try [https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/4MmKE22Cy2MavVZU|lifting it with strong tape|new_window=true], or superglue the suction handle in place and allow it to cure so you can proceed.
The surface of the rear glass is not completely smooth. For a better grip of the suction handle, apply tape to the rear glass or moisten the suction handle.
Secure a suction handle to the right edge of the rear glass, as close to the edge as possible.
Step 3: Create a gap
Lift the rear glass with the suction handle to create a small gap between the rear glass and the frame.
In case you have trouble creating a gap, apply more heat to further soften the adhesive. Follow the [https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iOpener+Heating/25705|iOpener|new_window=true] instructions to avoid overheating.
Insert an opening pick into the gap you created.
Step 4: Slice the adhesive
Slide the opening pick to the top right corner to slice the adhesive.
Leave the opening pick in place to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
Step 5: Slice the adhesive
Insert a second opening pick next to the top right corner.
Slide the opening pick to the bottom right corner to slice the adhesive.
Leave the opening picks in place to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
Step 6: Slice the adhesive
If the adhesive becomes hard to cut, it has most likely cooled down. [https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iOpener+Heating/25705|new_window=true|Use your iOpener] to reheat it.
Insert a third opening pick at the bottom right corner of your phone.
Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge of your phone to slice the adhesive.
Leave the opening pick in the bottom left corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
Step 7:
Insert a fourth opening pick underneath the bottom left corner of your phone.
Slide the opening pick up to the volume button.
Don't slide the opening pick any further! A flex cable runs next to the volume button.
Step 8:
Insert a sixth opening pick at the left edge of your phone next to the top end of the power and volume button cut out.
Slice the remaining adhesive of the left edge.
Slide the opening pick around the top left corner and along the top edge to cut the remaining adhesive.
Step 9: Remove the rear glass
Remove the rear glass.
Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).
