Make sure that you power off the phone before beginning.
Remove the back cover by placing the plastic opening tool on the bottom left side of the device and gently prying up.
There is a small slit that fits the plastic opening tool perfectly on the left side.

Step 2

Insert the plastic opening tool into the indent at the bottom of the battery and lift up. Fully remove the battery with your fingers.

When you have finished removing all of the screws, place the plastic opening tool in the groove at the bottom left corner of the motherboard cover and lift up.
Make sure to remove the SIM card before you remove the motherboard cover. You can get the cover off without doing this, but the SIM card will be stuck underneath the cover once you put it back together.
This part could be more difficult if you have never removed the motherboard cover. If difficulty arises, pry the plastic opening tool into each groove along the edge of the motherboard cover until it releases.
Once a clip is released, you can detach the motherboard cover with your fingers and set aside.

Step 5

Carefully place the plastic opening tool under the ribbons where the cables are connecting and lift up to detach the cables.
Keep in mind to be careful with the ribbons, because they are small components and important for the device's functionality.
The third photo attached depicts what the ribbons look like when they are successfully detached.

Step 6

Fully remove the motherboard by prying upward with the plastic opening tool.
This step will be quite simple if all the ribbons have been detached correctly.

Place the plastic opening tool under the headphone jack in the bottom corner and lift up. Remove the headphone port with your fingers after you have pried it loose.
The headphone port is held in place with adhesive so it may take some time to pry it loose.
