      • Use a T3 Torx screwdriver to remove the sixteen 5.0 mm‑long screws securing the back cover.

      • Use your fingernails, or angled tweezers, to remove any stuck screws.

      • The screws are secured tightly in the back cover, so you might not be able to remove all of them. If you can't remove a few screws, don't worry! Move to the next step and follow the guide normally.

      • Continue sliding the pick around the perimeter of your phone until the back cover is fully unclipped.

      • Don't try to fully remove the cover yet, as it's still connected by a delicate cable.
