Paso 2 iOpener Heating

We recommend that you clean your microwave before proceeding, as any nasty gunk on the bottom may end up stuck to the iOpener.

Place the iOpener in the center of the microwave.

Place the iOpener in the center of the microwave.
For carousel microwaves: Make sure the plate spins freely. If your iOpener gets stuck, it may overheat and burn.

Paso 3

Heat the iOpener for thirty seconds.
Throughout the repair procedure, as the iOpener cools, reheat it in the microwave for an additional thirty seconds at a time.
Be careful not to overheat the iOpener during the repair. Overheating may cause the iOpener to burst.
Never touch the iOpener if it appears swollen.
If the iOpener is still too hot in the middle to touch, continue using it while waiting for it to cool down some more before reheating. A properly heated iOpener should stay warm for up to 10 minutes.

Paso 5 Rear Glass

Opening your phone will compromise its waterproof seals. Have replacement adhesive ready before you proceed, or take care to avoid liquid exposure if you reassemble your phone without replacing the adhesive.

If your glass is shattered, put packing tape over the entire panel to hold it together during the removal process.

Lay the heated iOpener over the rear panel for about two minutes to loosen the adhesive around the edge of the glass.
You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times to get the phone warm enough. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.
Shift the iOpener to heat the remaining section of the panel for another two minutes.
A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the OLED display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

Paso 6

Once the rear glass is hot to the touch, apply a suction cup near the bottom edge of the glass.

Lift on the suction cup to create a small gap underneath the rear glass, and insert an opening pick into the gap.

Optionally, once the pick is inserted, you can add a few drops of isopropyl alcohol into the gap to help weaken the adhesive in the following steps.

Paso 7

Slide the pick along the bottom edge of the phone to slice through the adhesive securing the rear glass.

Afterward, it may help to leave the pick in place and grab a second pick as you proceed to the next step. Leaving the pick inserted can help prevent the glue you just separated from re-adhering.

Paso 10

Use tweezers to peel away any remaining adhesive from the phone's chassis.

To install new rear glass:
Use tweezers to peel away any remaining adhesive from the phone's chassis.
Clean the adhesion areas with high concentration isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%) and a lint-free cloth. Swipe in one direction only, not back and forth. This will help prep the surface for the new adhesive.
Peel the adhesive backing off of the new rear glass, carefully line up one edge of the glass against the phone chassis, and firmly press the glass onto the phone.
If you're reinstalling the old rear glass, or using rear glass without adhesive pre-installed, follow this guide.
