Place your phone on a clean, heat resistant surface or mat.
Keep flammable materials away from the work area.
Position the tip of the heat gun 2–3 inches above the device.
The exposure time may change depending on the adhesive, temperature, and the distance between the heat gun and the device.
Move the heat gun along the edge of the back cover of the phone.
Always keep the heat gun in motion, and never leave it over one spot for too long—doing so could damage the device.
Some adhesives require multiple heating and prying cycles in order to loosen. Be patient to get the job done correctly and not quickly.
Heat the glue around the fingerprint button, moving it in small circles.

Step 3

Place the suction cup onto the back and squeeze. Gently pull on the suction cup.
Insert an opening pick in the space between the front and back cover and slide it around the perimeter to loosen the glue.
Slowly remove the bottom cover.

Step 4

Use a small Phillips screwdriver to loosen the four screws securing the camera lens.
Carefully remove the lens.

Step 5

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the eleven screws around the back to remove the mid frame.
After that, use an opening tool to slowly pry off the mid frame.
Do not poke the battery with the screwdriver.

Step 6

At this point, you should see the battery itself. Identify the battery connector. It should be a small silver rectangle on the top right-hand side of the battery. Then, use the spudger to unplug the battery from the device.

Step 7

You should also see a red tab on the side of the battery. Gently pull the tab and the adhesives (thin black tape on sides) to remove the battery.
