Hi! I cannot find a way to insert the plastic opening tool. Any suggestions on how I can create a gap to start. Everything seems quit rigid.
Also, where will I find your reply.

Hi Lars, you might want to use a suction handle to lift the display and create a small gap to insert the plastic tool. If you don’t have a suction handle you can “build” a handle with tape that you stick onto the display in a shape similar to this —> __∏__ (also you may want to edit your post and remove your email address ;) )
Hi,
I’m stuck at this step for about two hours… There’s nothing I can do to open the case. Tried all kinds of opening tools and a suction handle. There is no gap at all between the display and the body. How can anything be inserted into a gap that practically does not exist? Please help.
Sorry to hear that. You could try and lift the display by using a suction cup and pull to create a small gap for a tool to get in.

HI, I need to understand why many of us owners of the Huawei P10 has problems with the camera that does not focus or each photo is always blurred and it takes a side kick to fix it temporarily, then I would also know if changing the camera solve the problem. Thank you.
where to get the best rear camera replacement?
I have replaced the camera in my phone however the replacement does not work. I have seen comments from other people who have had a similar issue such as https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/hel...
Could this be a firmware related issue? Perhaps the camera firmware in the replacement part is now older than that expected by the firmware in the phone itself?
Does anyone know where to find information about this sort of thing? Whenever I search the Googles I am always taken to generic pages about flashing boot loaders and various versions of Android, not the actual firmware.
where I can buy this camera as long as it is original?
What is misssing in detail: how to open the back case from the display. It was very hard and I need another webpage to get additional infromation.
Had the same Problem with the P9. Found something in the coments that did the trick for me: Additional to using the suction cup like mentioned in the instructions i had to (carefully?) preheat the aluminum back with a fan - it will expand slightly more than the glass front or the inside and come off like a charm after.
Thanks! I couldn’t really get the display out of the back case so I got some instructions from a youtube video for that. Other than that, very clear instructions and photos. My phone has a working rear camera again!
Thanks for this.
I successfully managed to change the camera

Hi, my P10 does not have screws, just two tiny holes. Do I push in here to unfasten? Einar, Norway

Hi Einar Ryvarden,
in case you bought a used or refurbished phone, someone might have forgotten to put them back in. Since you have holes at the bottom edge next to the charging port this is likely. You can try to start with step 2 and see if you can lift the phone assembly (don’t forget to remove the SIM tray first). As far as I know there is no version of the regular Huawei P10 with no screws. However you there are none in the P10 lite and in the P10 plus, maybe one of the opening procedures for those phones might help you.
