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 use some super strong tape instead. And if all else fails, a little superglue can save the day and help the suction cup stick to the broken panel.
Having trouble with this step? Don’t stress, 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 having issues, remember that you can always schedule a repair with Salvation Repair for some expert help.
– Time to get this thing open! Grab a suction cup and press it firmly onto the heated edge of the rear cover. Make sure it’s as close to the edge as you can get.
– Now, give that suction cup a good yank! Pull up with a steady hand to create a tiny gap between the cover and the frame. You’re almost there.
– Slide an opening pick into that gap you just made. Keep it steady and don’t force it. You got this!
Step 3
– Let’s get this party started! Slide that opening pick along the left edge like you’re rockin’ a dance floor, heading towards the bottom left corner. This will cut through the adhesive, no sweat!

Step 4
Be careful when cutting through the adhesive – don’t push the opening pick more than 5 mm into the phone, or you might accidentally damage the internal components. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair
Just slide those opening picks in the gaps created by the ones already in the corners. You got this!
– Let’s get this party started by repeating the heating and cutting action on the remaining three sides of the rear cover. We’re almost there!
– As you work your way around, pop an opening pick into each corner to keep the adhesive from getting cozy. Think of it as a little party favor.
– Slide an opening pick around the entire perimeter, making sure you catch any stubborn adhesive. If needed, give it a little heat to loosen things up. You got this!
Step 5
– Time to give that rear cover a little lift! Just gently pull it straight up and watch it come right off. Easy peasy!
Step 6
Just be careful to pry only under the edge of the connector, okay? That way you won’t accidentally damage the socket or anything else around it. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.

Be careful not to do the sneak attack on the middle – we wouldn’t want any connectivity bullies in our device, now would we? If it’s being stubborn, try to repeat the process. If you’re hitting a wall, don’t stress! You can always schedule a repair to keeping those gadgets connected and happy!
