Step 1

Insert the spudger into the notch on the corner of the phone and lift up to remove the back case.

Step 2

Use the T4 Torx Screwdriver to remove the 17 3.2 mm screws in the back panel covering the battery.

What do you do if the screws to tight and you can not unscrew them… Also the head of the screws too soft and damages easily.. I got few screws damaged, simply will probably need to use drill to get them out or something…

Step 3

Lift up and remove the back panel.

Step 4

After removing the back panel, use the spudger to lift and detach the Battery Flux Cable from the Motherboard.

Step 5

Wedge the spudger between the battery and the phone to lift the battery up and remove the battery. There will be slight resistance to this but the battery will not be damaged by this. It is just the adhesive tape.

Is there a reason to remove the battery?
