Unplug all cables and completely power down your phone.

Apply strips of packing tape to the cracked glass until it's completely covered—this will help keep the glass contained and allow the suction cup to stick.

Heat an iOpener and lay it on the bottom edge of the back glass for two minutes.

Apply a suction handle to the center of the back glass's bottom edge, as close to the edge as possible.

Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force until a gap forms between the back glass and frame.

Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap.

The back glass is secured with adhesive around the perimeter of the frame. Use this picture as a reference while you separate the adhesive.

Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.

Leave the pick inserted under the bottom left corner to prevent the adhesive from re‑sealing.

Insert a second pick under the bottom left corner and slide it up the left edge, stopping at the power button.

Leave the pick inserted to prevent the adhesive from re‑sealing.

Leave the pick inserted under the top right corner.

Insert a fourth pick under the top right corner.

Slide the pick along the top edge and slightly around the top left corner, stopping at the bottom of the camera bump.

Flip the back glass over the left side of the phone and use the suction handle (or a sturdy object) to prop it up.

Use your fingers to peel up the entire battery tab on the left side of the battery, including the skinny strip running along the side.

Wear finger stalls to help get a solid grip on the battery pull tabs and frame in the next step.

Secure the right side of your phone with one hand, and use your free hand to grip the battery pull tab.

Pull straight up on the tab and apply constant, steady force until the adhesive separates.

Grip the battery and slowly pull it away from your phone to peel the plastic sleeve out of the recess.
