Before disassembling your iPhone, be sure it is powered off.

Remove the two 3.6 mm Pentalobe screws next to the dock connector.

During reassembly, we recommend you replace the 5-point screws with equivalent Phillips screws. Our Liberation Kit provides the tools and screws needed to replace the Pentalobe screws with Phillips screws.

The 5-Point Screwdriver should only be used once, as it has the potential to strip the screws.

Push the rear panel toward the top edge of the iPhone.

The panel will move about 2 mm.

Pull the rear panel away from the back of the iPhone, being careful not to damage the plastic clips attached to the rear panel.

Remove the rear panel from the iPhone.

Remove the single 1.5 mm Phillips screw securing the battery connector to the logic board.

Use the edge of a plastic opening tool to gently pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.

Use the exposed clear plastic pull tab to peel the battery off the adhesive securing it to the iPhone.

Remove the battery.

Remove the two 1.8 mm Phillips screws securing the dock connector cable cover to the logic board.

Remove the metal dock connector cable cover.

Use the edge of a plastic opening tool to pry the dock cable up from its socket on the logic board.

Peel the dock connector cable off the adhesive securing it to the logic board and the side of the speaker enclosure.

Remove the 1.6 mm Phillips screw securing the pressure contact to the logic board near the vibrator.

Remove the pressure contact.

When reinstalling the pressure contact, be sure to clean it with a degreaser such as windex or isopropyl alcohol. The oils on your fingers have the potential to create wireless interference.

Use the edge of a plastic opening tool to pry the Wi-Fi antenna cable up from its socket on the logic board.

De-route the Wi-Fi antenna cable out from under the metal fingers attached to the logic board.

Remove the two 2.4 mm Phillips screws securing the speaker enclosure assembly to the outer case.

Before reinstalling the speaker enclosure assembly's screws, be sure the Wi-Fi grounding fingers are installed below the lip in the iPhone's metal case as seen in the third picture.

Before reassembly, be sure to clean all metal-to-metal contact points between the grounding fingers of the Wi-Fi antenna and the case of the iPhone with a de-greaser such as windex or isopropyl alcohol. The oils on your fingers have the potential to cause wireless interference issues.

Remove the two 1.6 mm Phillips screws securing the cellular antenna to the speaker enclosure.

Starting near the cellular antenna cable, use the edge of a plastic opening tool to peel the antenna off the speaker enclosure.

Continue peeling the cellular antenna off the speaker enclosure, being careful not to rip the gold bracket attached to one of its edges.

Remove the cellular antenna.

When installing a new cellular antenna, be sure to slide the gold bracket over the ear molded into the speaker enclosure before sticking the antenna down.
