When the right heat is reached, the easiest way is to use a metal iFlex to create the initial gap, then insert the Jimmy or iSesamo next to it so the gap gets bigger, at this point you can get in with the flat edge of a plastic spudger and slowly slide it in the borders to cut the adhesive. You will still need to force a bit the upper end to separate the screen by pulling it down while keeping up the screen, and twist to the right. I hope this is clear enough. Never apply too much strength too quickly anyway.

Yep, I did find it too. Thanks

Just one tiny drop of isopropyl alcohol or it will reach the lcd screen.

In order to get in more easily, I normally use the iFlex (the metal one) which is thin enough to create a little space, and then i insert a thinner plastic sheet, just like the default screen protector you might find on some huawei or xiaomi phones. That plus half a drop of alcohol should do the trick. Use caution and be very patient.

if the back cover is not broken, i’d suggest NOT to use an opening pick as if the phone was not heated enough, you may crack the glass on the edges. better use the iPlastix, it is thinner and less stressful for the glass.

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.
