   If the screen or back glass is badly cracked, lay overlapping strips of packing tape over the glass to protect yourself and make disassembly easier.

3. Mark your opening picks

   • 
   • 
   • 

   Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.

4. Remove the pentalobe screws

   • 
   • 

   Use a P2 pentalobe screwdriver to remove the two 7.4 mm‑long screws on either side of the USB-C port.

5. Heat the bottom edge

6. Insert an opening pick

   • 
   • 
   • 

   Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the back glass, above the USB-C port.

   Pull up on the handle with a strong, steady force to create a gap between the back glass and the frame.

   Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap.

7. Back glass information

   • 
   • 

   There's a delicate cable connecting the back glass to the phone, right next to the volume up button. Don't insert your pick here to avoid slicing the cable.

   There are multiple spring contacts around the perimeter of the phone. Be extra careful not to insert your pick deeper than suggested in each step to avoid bending these contacts.

8. Separate the bottom edge adhesive

   • 
   • 
   • 

   Slide your pick back and forth along the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.

   Leave your pick inserted in the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

11. Heat the left edge

    • 

    Heat the left edge of the back glass until it's hot to the touch.

12. Separate the left edge adhesive

    •

    Heat the top edge of the back glass, including the area around the volume buttons, until it's hot to the touch.

14. Separate the top edge adhesive

    • 
    • 

    Slide your opening pick across the top edge and around the top right corner to the volume up button to separate the adhesive.

15. Swing open the back glass

    • 
    • 

    Gently swing open the back glass towards the volume buttons.

    Support the back glass with a clean, sturdy object like a small box to avoid straining the cable.

    Remove the opening picks.

41. Alternate method to remove the battery

    • 

    Lift the bottom edge of the frame to tilt the phone.

    Use a pipette or a syringe to apply 2–3 drops of high concentration (>90%) isopropyl alcohol along the bottom edge of the battery, close to where each broken adhesive strip came out.
