Step 1
Alright, champ, before we dive into this repair, let’s make sure your phone is completely powered off. We don’t want any surprises during the disassembly process, right? 😉
You can also use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate to help loosen the adhesive, but remember, too much heat can be a bad thing! The display and battery are sensitive to heat, so be careful. If you’re not sure about using heat, you can always schedule a repair.
– Get your iOpener warmed up and ready. Let’s apply that heat to the left edge of the back panel for about a minute. It’ll make things a bit easier, we promise!

Step 2
Got a badly cracked back glass? No worries, just cover it with some clear packing tape and the suction cup should stick. Or, if you’re feeling extra handy, you can use some super strong tape instead. And if all else fails, a little superglue can work wonders to get that suction cup to stick to the broken panel.
Having trouble with this step? Don’t sweat it, it can be a bit tricky depending on your phone’s age. 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 for some expert help.
– Grab a suction cup and stick it right on that warmed-up edge of the back panel, as close to the edge as you can get.
– Give that suction cup a firm, steady pull to open up a little gap between the back panel and the frame.
– Now, take the tip of your opening pick and slide it into that gap you’ve created.
Step 3
Be careful not to slide that opening pick in too far—keep it to halfway or you might accidentally poke something important inside!
– Let’s get this party started! Slide your opening pick along the left edge of your device, heading towards the bottom left corner. Think of it like a hot knife through butter, slicing that adhesive right open.
– Keep that pick in the bottom left corner – you don’t want that sticky stuff sealing itself back up. We’re in this together!
Step 4
– Grab a second opening pick and glide it along the left side up to the top left corner to cut through that adhesive like a pro.
