Step 2

  • Insert a plastic opening tool between the midframe and the display assembly.
  • Work the plastic opening tool around the perimeter of the phone to break the adhesive.
  • This adhesive is relatively weak, so no heat gun should be necessary.
  • Be careful to not separate the front glass panel from the rest of the display assembly, as it is still held together with adhesive.

Step 4

  • Push on the battery housing to separate the midframe from the display assembly.
  • You will have to apply a reasonable amount of pressure to separate the two parts.

I broke the actual ports that the antenna cables connect to on the mother board. Is thereally away to fix them or do I have to replace the whole logic/motherboard? I would like to keep my logic/motherboard because I don’t want to lose all my text messages. What should I do?
