Schritt 1

Lift back cover while pressing highlighted release switch towards the center of the phone.

Schritt 2

Remove the four white stickers in each corner that cover the Tri-Wing screws.
Remove the white sticker near the buttons that control the volume.
Remove the white sticker near the SIM card.
Remove the big white sticker with the bar-code in the center of the phone.

Schritt 3

Remove the thirteen Tri-Wing Y00 screws (Upper & Lower screws are 5 mm length, middle screws are 3.8 mm length) from the back case.
Disconnect the cable near the volume buttons.

The orange circle in line with the 4 other red circles down the RH side (as shown) in the photo should be red also, as this shows a screw, not the cable (which is by the volume buttons).

Schritt 8

Remove the seven 3 mm Phillips #000 screws from the motherboard.

Schritt 9

Use a plastic tool to pry up and disconnect the large ribbon cables on each side of the motherboard.
Use caution prying the ribbon cable on the right side because other ribbon cables run under it.

Use small plastic opening tool to pry open the latch on each of these gate connectors to disconnect the three cables.

What does the orange circle refer to, as the text is a duplicate of the red circle description (and the highlighted item isn't connected with the three gate connectors)?

I think the orange circle refers to a 4th gate connector which needs to be disconnected.
