Use this guide to remove or replace the battery in your Samsung Galaxy S21.
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your phone. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Although it’s not necessary to remove the interconnect cables to replace the battery, we advise doing so. It makes the battery removal and reassembly much easier.
You'll need replacement adhesive in order to complete this repair.

Heat an iOpener and apply it to the back cover's bottom edge for two minutes.
-
-
-
Apply a suction cup to the back of the phone, as close to the center of the bottom edge as possible.
-
Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the back cover and the frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
The backing is a polycarbonate material - so yes it's plastic. Also, when pulling up with the suction cup your correct in that it is or should be done on an angle. Plus, the back is plastic so it will only flex upwards as you're applying the pressure. Lastly, because the backing is still tapped inside and your pulling upwards, if necessary with the hand that's pulling up you can gently rest the part of your palm/wrist against the phone which may also help in the separation process but remember you're goal is to only lift it enough so you can slide in the separator pick. I use guitar picks myself since I have them laying around all over the place. Good luck, and don't rush yourself :0)

-
Slide the pick back and forth along the bottom edge to slice through the adhesive.
-
Leave the pick in to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
-
-
-
Apply a heated iOpener to the back cover's left edge for two minutes.
If you have access to a heating pad you can use this instead and save some cash but make sure to turn it on and let it heat up so you check the temperature first as it needs to be hot enough to melt the glue but not damage the components. Typically, these work great because they're designed not to burn a person.

-
Remove the back cover.
-
This is a good point to power on your phone and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your phone back down completely before you continue working.
-
Remove any adhesive chunks with a pair of tweezers or your fingers. Use some high concentration (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol to wipe away any adhesive residue.
-
If you're using Samsung custom-cut adhesives, follow this guide.
-
If you're using double-sided tape, follow this guide.
Why begin reassemble directions or reminders when the battery has not even been removed yet? This advice would be better suited just after the battery install and just after powering on to test. Might have to inject multiple "test" points before and after reassembly.

this does not wqork and I am afraid of breaking the battery or my hand
Not mentioned here is just how difficult these batteries can be to remove. More instruction would be useful. It took hours just to do this step following this instruction. Another thing: at least 3 people following this guide had a non working fingerprint sensor after putting everything back in place. At least 2 of these people struggled with this step but saw no visible damage to the sensor (which, for those reading, is directly under the battery!) In all, more or better instruction is needed.

-
-
Remove the battery, making sure to peel off any remaining adhesive.
-
If you used isopropyl alcohol, wait ten minutes before installing the new battery to allow the alcohol to completely evaporate.
-
Secure the new battery with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape. In order to position it correctly, apply the new adhesive into the device at the places where the old adhesive was located, not directly onto the battery. Press the new battery firmly into place.
-
Temporarily reconnect the battery to the motherboard to help align it correctly. Disconnect the battery after it's seated.
-
Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.
To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.
Follow this guide to perform a battery cycle reset, and calibrate your newly-installed battery.

Yes, unfortunately the warranty will be voided if you "tamper" with any of the components.
Just a note to the last step regarding iso. Be careful not applying too much iso - it will run down to the display via the hole in the back.
The glue is a pain but I wasn't nearly as careful on the bottom part as the guide suggested and was able to get it off just fine. I also didn't bother to remove the old glue and it holds well enough
I was fortunate in getting the back off as the battery had expanded enough to do the job for me except around the camera area which came off fine with a hairdryer. As pretty much all the glue was left around the case edge the application of the hairdryer soon sealed that up again. Great instructions, many thanks for presenting them!
Can I use this guide for a Samsung Galaxy A52s ?
How hot does the back cover have to be to come off? I tried with iOpener many times but have had no luck opening it. The surface temperature goes up to 105-110F (43C).

Hi Imtiaz!
We don't have a specific temperature that we recommend, but, if you're still having issues separating the adhesive with the iOpener, I would recommend you switch to a hair dryer or a heat pad. The back cover should be slightly too warm to the touch.
