    • Switch off your phone.

    • Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the back of the phone for about two minutes to loosen the adhesive beneath the back cover.

    Erm… Simply impossible to open the phone this way…

    I used the iOpener for 2 mins as instructed, I’ve used even an hair drier for 30 secs on max power (could barely touch the phone after) and still with the suction tool I was not able to open the phone.

    It simply doesn’t budge!!!

    This was much easier than I expected! ;-)

    I put the phone on a hot-water bottle for about 5 minutes. I put the first pick in the side of the phone, not the top as shown in the next section. Then I kept the phone on the hot water bottle through all the following steps so that the battery glue was nice and warm when it came to that section.

    Tool used on this step:
    Halberd Spudger
    $2.99
    Buy
    • Lift up the back cover with a suction cup until you can insert the flat end of a halberd spudger.

    • Use the halberd spudger to cut the adhesive beneath the back cover on all sides of the phone.

    • Use opening picks to avoid the adhesive from sticking to the back cover again while cutting the adhesive on all sides.

    Faire attention à ne pas enfoncer trop le cutter/spatule hallebarde. Surtout à l’approche des boutons ON/OFF et volume, la nappe ne passe pas loin et se branche à coté de l’empreinte digitale.

    Bilan, j’ai coupé cette nappe et n’ai plus de bouton volume et on/off.

    Plus qu’à chercher la piece de rechange pendant que le telephone est ouvert ;)

    I found it easiest to insert the first pick on the side of the phone, not the top as shown in the pictures. The side is slightly more flexible than the ends because it is longer.

    • Don't remove the back cover all the way, yet. The fingerprint sensor cable is still connected to motherboard.

    • Flip the back cover over to the side.

    • Remove the Phillips #00 screw which holds down the metal shield, sitting on top of the connection of the fingerprint sensor cable.

    When re-assembling, you can test the phone before putting the covers back on. If you test it before you connect the fingerprint reader then you need to re-start the phone before the fingerprint reader will work.
