Back to top


  • -Begin by heating the device's back with a hot.
    The rear cover is bonded using adhesive.
    -You might also use a hair dryer or a hot plate, but be careful not to overheat the
    phone—both the internal battery and OLED display are prone to heat damage.
    -Place the blade of the flat metal spudger between the back glass and
    the phone's casing.
    -Use the blade to carefully cut through the glue all the way around the edge of the back glass panel.
    -You might need to use the hot gun several times to reheat the back cover.
    since the glue sets up quickly.
    -You will be pushing the tool up rather than inserting it because of the curved glass.
    parallel to the phone's surface.
    -The phone is connected to the rear glass near the primary camera by the cable with the fingerprint sensor.
    -The cable should disengage as the rear glass is removed because it is quite short.
    -Look inside as you lift the glass to make sure the orange cable has a
    Blue connector is now unplugged.
    -Do not open the door if the fingerprint sensor cable seems snagged or remains taut.
    Call any longer. Before continuing, use the point of a spudger to disconnect the connector.
    -Take the phone's glass off.

    Note: To assist you in lifting the glass, try utilizing the suction cup.

Back to top


  • -If the existing rear cover is damaged, you can use a new one; otherwise, the old one will be reused.
    -You must clean the back cover of all adhesive residue and dirt if you plan to restore the original back cover.
    -By lightly heating the cover with the hot air gun, you can make things simpler.
    -Avoid using metal tools as they will harm the covering on the back cover.

Step 16 - APPLYING THE GLUE
Back to top


  • -Put some B-7000 adhesive on the metal frame's edges.
    -The back cover should be placed on top of the frame.
    -To guarantee greater adhesion, use some clamps; after the glue has dried, remove them.

    Note: Be aware that your device lost its water ingress protection properties.

    Warning: Allow glue to dry for up to 48 hours, cure time increases with lower temperatures and decreases with higher temperatures.

    Information: B-7000 hardens by solvent evaporation and forms an immediate bond that is difficult to reposition after both adhesive-coated surfaces are placed in contact with each other and sufficient pressure is exerted to establish full contact.
