Heat and Soften the Back Glass
- Power on your heating mat and set it to 75–85°C.
- Place the phone with the camera side down on the heating mat for 3 to 5 minutes.
- This loosens the adhesive and makes removal easier and safer.

Apply Isopropyl Alcohol Around the Edges
- Flip the phone over once heating is complete.
- Use isopropyl alcohol and apply it all around the phone’s edge to further soften the adhesive.
- Let the alcohol sit briefly to penetrate beneath the back glass.

Pry Open the Back Glass
- Use a 0.1 mm metallic prying tool to slice into the softened adhesive around the back glass.
- Since the back glass is already cracked, focus on lifting it up gently without damaging internal components.
- Once a gap appears, switch to using your fingers or a spudger to fully remove the glass.
Remove NFC Wireless Charging Pad
- Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws securing the NFC pad.
- Disconnect the flex cables attached to the logic board.
- Carefully pry up the pad using the metallic tool and lift it off.

Disconnect the Battery Flex Cable
- Locate and disconnect the battery flex cable from the logic board.
- Always start with this step before further disassembly for safety reasons.
- Organize your screws and cables in removal order to help with reassembly.

Disconnect All Flex Cables
- Carefully disconnect all flex cables leading to the battery, charging port, and logic board.
- Use a spudger to gently pry up the connectors and keep them organized.

Remove the Bottom Speaker Assembly
- Unscrew and remove the lower loudspeaker using a Phillips screwdriver.
- Use your spudger or preferred prying tool to gently pop the speaker out.
- If tight, use a metallic tool but avoid damaging plastic components.
Remove the Old Battery
- Apply more isopropyl alcohol around the edges of the battery to soften the adhesive.
- Carefully use the metallic prying tool to lift the battery from the housing.
- Take your time here, as battery punctures can be dangerous.
Clean the Battery Housing
- Use alcohol and a scraper tool to remove old adhesive residue.
- Wipe down the area with a paper towel to prepare for the new battery.
- Be gentle to avoid scratching or damaging the internal housing.

Install the New Battery
- Line up the new battery by first connecting it to the logic board terminal.
- Once aligned, disconnect the flex again and press the battery into place.
- This ensures proper fit and orientation for the final connection.
Reconnect the Flex Cables and Reinstall the Speaker
- Snap all flex cables back into place, including those on the charging port and logic board.
- Reinstall the bottom speaker and secure it with the correct Phillips screws.
- Do not overtighten to avoid damaging plastic parts.

Reinstall NFC Charging Pad and Screws
- Reattach the NFC wireless pad and connect all flex cables to the logic board.
- Align the adhesive back and apply pressure.
- Screw everything back in without overtightening to protect the board.

Install New Back Glass
- Remove any preinstalled adhesive on the replacement back glass if using glue.
- Apply glue or use the pre-attached adhesive tape on the edges of the new back glass.
- Align and press the glass onto the housing, then clamp it down to cure.

Final Check and Power On
- Press and hold the power button to confirm successful installation.
- Ensure all flex cables are properly connected and the phone powers on.
- Congratulations, the battery and back glass replacement is complete!
