To install a new back cover:

Use tweezers to peel away any remaining adhesive from the phone's chassis. Then clean the adhesion areas with high concentration isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%) and a lint-free cloth to prep the surface for the new adhesive.

Peel the adhesive backing off of the new rear glass, carefully line up one edge of the glass against the phone chassis, and firmly press the glass onto the phone.

Follow this guide to reinstall the old back cover, or to install a back cover without pre-installed adhesive.

Be sure to turn on your phone and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing the phone.

If desired, you may reinstall the back cover without replacing the adhesive. Remove any large chunks of adhesive that might prevent the back cover from sitting down flush. After installation, heat the back cover and apply pressure to secure it. It won't be waterproof, but the glue is usually more than strong enough to hold.

You may also need to transfer the camera bezel to your new part. If that's the case, follow our camera bezel replacement guide.
