Passo 1

Make sure the phone is powered off and placed with the back cover facing towards you on a stable surface.

Passo 2

Pop open the SIM card tray by inserting a SIM card removal tool into a small hole on the upper-left side of the phone.
Carefully remove the SIM card from its tray.

Remove the SIM card tray from the phone. Don't need to remove the actual card from the tray, just be careful you don't lose it…

Passo 3

Loosen the binding glue within the phone using a hairdryer or an iOpener.
If you choose to use a hairdryer, hold the dryer at least eight inches from the phone and apply heat for two minutes in a circular motion around the edges of the phone.

Passo 4

Insert a Jimmy under one of the heated corners of the phone to lift it slightly.
Insert a plastic card underneath the slightly lifted lip on the back cover and gently glide the card under the lifted phone casing.
There will be a small amount of tension, but this is normal as the card is removing the adhesive within the phone.
Remove the back cover from the phone.
Use high concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth to remove all adhesive residue from the back cover and the frame.

Do you need to replace the glue when reassembling?

It was sufficient for me to re-heat the adhesive from the phone.

Also, I used a pair of tweezers to lift the initial corner, which was a breeze compared to the Jimmy’s as suggested by the guide.

The gaps were very tight. After warming the adhesive, it was helpful to have a helper use a suction cup to tug on the back to enlarge the gap for the jimmy.

Theres a big patch of glue on the right side of the camera. Be careful with this part, cuz ure proabably under the curved side trying to get inbetween and in my case this shattered the coating of the backside of my phone. It still works, but it has a spider skin on the back now.
