Excellent guide.

The hardest parts were getting the “small silicon cover” off and putting the vibrator's connector back in.

I highly recommend people to take a photos of their phone’s small details for later reference when you put it back together again.

The hardest part for me was removing some of the screws, not to mention finding the proper screwdriver (tip: look at your local hardware store before buying online). The battery connector was a pain too, you just need to press it fearlessly.
