    1. Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro Midframe Replacement, Heat the rear glass: step 2, image 1 of 1
      • Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the rear glass for at least two minutes to loosen the adhesive underneath.

      • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

    2. Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro Midframe Replacement, Secure a suction handle: step 3, image 1 of 2 Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro Midframe Replacement, Secure a suction handle: step 3, image 2 of 2
      • If the rear glass is cracked, the suction handle may not stick. Try lifting it with strong tape, or superglue the suction handle in place and allow it to cure so you can proceed.

      • The surface of the rear glass is not completely smooth. For a better grip of the suction handle, apply tape to the rear glass or moisten the suction handle.

      • Secure a suction handle to the right edge of the rear glass, as close to the edge as possible.

      • Lift the rear glass with the suction handle to create a small gap between the rear glass and the frame.

      • In case you have trouble creating a gap, apply more heat to further soften the adhesive. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

      • Insert an opening pick into the gap you created.
