    • 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!!!

    • 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 ;)

    • 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.

    • Use a pair tweezers to remove the metal shield covering the connector of the fingerprint sensor.

    • Disconnect the fingerprint sensor cable with a spudger.

    • When reassembling your phone apply new adhesive where it is necessary.

    • Remove the twelve Phillips #00 screws.

    • Carefully remove the shields on top of the motherboard and the charging board.

    • In case the shields do not pop out easily on their own after you removed the Phillips screws, you can use the pointed end of a spudger to pry them out.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
