There is one Step missing before removing the flash light cable: Remove Camera cable, right?
I broke this and can’t find it on amazon. Is it part of the volume control flash connector? If not, can you send me a link on where to find this connector,…and possible instructions on how to replace?

What bit is this? The link doesn’t use the same name.
I hate getting the deep into a repair to find there’s a tool missing. This bit should be part of the toolkit!
Its in the toolkit now. Looks like a Philips head but up close the end is squared off with a point in the middle.
I received two boxes - one box contained the repair part, the other was the tool kit. I only opened the tool kit before disassembling the phone. The standoff screwdriver bit was not in there. Neither was the guitar pick. I used a real guitar pick and a small standard screwdriver from my toolbox. When I was ready to reassemble, I opened the repair part box and guess what was in there - the standoff screwdriver bit and guitar pick. So, I guess if you just order the part it will come with (at least) those two tools. The tool kit contains tweezers, suction cup, three screwdriver bits (tri-point, pentalobe, and phillips) and screwdriver handle, a long black spudger with a flat end and a pointy end, and a smaller, thicker spudger with a wide, flat ends.
The flat end of the spudger works a treat too.
Thank you, bronyar. Since there is a box labeled “Repair Tools”, I never would have looked in the parts box for tools. I was able to use the standoff tool to takie the phone apart, not just to put it back together.

Use tweezers to gently bend the logic board grounding bracket out of the way.
I accidentally broke the grounding bracket, is it very important to get a new one to replace? as I can't seem to find them for sale anywhere
I also broke it. Did your phone work after?
Did you find a replacement?
Did your phone work ?

I broke mine while doing this step. A bit confusing. You’re just supposed to bend it out the way, not pull on it entirely. Will the phone still work without this?
I just didnt bend this one.. Ill tell you how it went
