Disconnect:
Touch screen flex cable
LCD Display flex cable
Charging Dock board flex cable - remove the foam and tape, then flip up the black lock before easing out the flex.
Coaxial antena cable - take your time here, be sure to pull the metal connector and not the cable or you risk pulling the cable from the connector.
Remove the 2x Torx T4 screws.

Take care when removing the coax connector. Mine was very tight and I managed to disconnect the coax cable from the connector. Phone is now in the bin :-(

Also, when removing the charging dock board flex cable, the connector has a black lock arm. Remove the foam pad and tape to reveal the lock. Gently ease the lock arm up then ease the flex out.

With the camera/logic board removed then don’t forget to remove the other end of the charging dock board flex cable from the charging board. When reassembling I found it awkward to hold the protective black guard over the flex out of the way when sliding the end of the ribbon into the replaced charging dock board: combination of tweezers and fingernail required.

No it doesn’t

I did this successfully but as I pressed the glass down on the edges , it cracked. I believe its because I hadn’t cleaned up the glue from the previous screen and so the surface was uneven.

So, clean up the adhesive well and CAREFULLY press down on the glass. Its brittle.
