Ready to tackle the rear cover of your Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra? Awesome! Just a quick heads up—make sure your battery is below 25% before diving in. This little safety measure helps avoid any unexpected thermal surprises if the battery gets a bit too cozy during the repair. And if your battery looks like it’s been through a lot, don’t forget to take the necessary precautions. Happy repairing!
Step 1
Before you start, make sure to completely power down your phone – it’s time to get started on this repair journey!
You can use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate to get the job done, but be gentle – your phone’s screen and battery are sensitive to heat, so don’t overdo it. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
– Let’s get started by heating up an iOpener and applying it to the left side of the rear cover for about a minute. If you need help along the way, you can always schedule a repair

Step 2
Be careful not to slide that opening pick in more than 5 mm into the phone; otherwise, you might accidentally bump into some delicate internals.
Got a badly cracked back glass? No worries, just cover it with some clear packing tape and the suction cup should stick. If that doesn’t work, you can try using super strong tape or even superglue the suction cup to the broken panel – it’s not the prettiest solution, but it’ll get the job done.
Having trouble with this step? Don’t sweat it, it can be a bit tricky, especially with older phones. Just apply some more heat to the edge and try again. If you’re still stuck, remember that you can always schedule a repair with Salvation Repair.
– Ready to take on this challenge? Let’s get that rear cover off! First, stick a suction cup right on the heated edge of the cover, as close to the edge as you can get it.
– Now, pull up on that suction cup, like you mean it! You want to create a little space between the cover and the frame.
– Time to slide in an opening pick into that space you just created. You’re almost there!
Step 3
– Let’s get this party started! Slide the opening pick along the left edge towards the bottom left corner to cut through the adhesive.
– Now, hold on to that pick like it’s your best friend and leave it inserted in the bottom left corner to keep the adhesive from getting all cozy and re-sealing.
Step 4
Hey, be careful! Don’t go sticking that opening pick in more than 5 mm or you might accidentally give your device a little boo-boo. Just a friendly reminder to keep things nice and tidy.
Now, let’s get those opening picks in place! You can slip each new pick into the gaps created by the picks already in each corner. It’s like a little pick party!
– Now it’s time to free the other three sides of the rear cover – just repeat the heating and cutting process you’ve already mastered.
– As you make your way around, be sure to leave an opening pick in each corner to keep the adhesive from sneaking back into place.
– Take a moment to slide an opening pick around the entire perimeter of your phone, making sure to release any adhesive that’s still stuck. If you encounter any stubborn spots, don’t worry – just reheat the adhesive and try again. And remember, if you need help, you can always schedule a repair
Step 5
– Time to give that rear cover a little lift! Gently pry it straight up and watch it come right off.
