    • Move the spudger around the edge of the back cover to separate it from the black adhesive.

    • Separating the back cover from the rest of the phone ruins the adhesive which makes it no longer waterproof.

    • Remove the single 1 x 3.0 mm screw holding the battery in using the JIS #00 screwdriver.

    The replacement batteries probably come without the new NFC sticker, so you’ll have to transfer it from the original one to the replacement. This can be easily done with an iPlastix and a good amount of isopropyl alcohol. Do this carefully.

The trouble is that the headphones jack and the monitor cables are unplugged when removing the motherboard and I do not think it is possible to plug them back in from the back side of the phone. I think the monitor needs to be removed for them to be plugged from the front.
