We need to heat the surface of the back cover to a temperature of approximately 70 degrees Celsius or 160° Fahrenheit. For this we use a heating mat, you can use a hair dryer.

And after 5 to 7 minutes, we can move on to detaching the back cover. To detach the back cover, we first use a thin metal tool, because we have the cover slightly recessed. We create a small gap between the back cover and the middle cover, insert a thin plastic film and then using the thin plastic film we will detach the back cover.

Carefully go over the edge, cut off the adhesive base. We always need to be careful in the area of the side buttons and in the area of the cameras, so as not to accidentally damage the cables or not to damage the camera lenses.

The section that protects the cameras is more rigid. It is made with specific glasses and it has a small plastic area for which we can carefully use a thin tool to pry and lift this part to unglue it.

⚠ī¸ī¸ It is not necessary to use force. We have to be as careful as possible so that we don't accidentally damage anything.

Traditionally for Huawei we have three brown tabs with the numbers 1, 2 and 3. We need to turn these brown tabs to the side.

The tabs that are on the edges need to be turned to the side as much as possible, and the tab that is in the middle needs to be gently pulled upwards to detach the battery.

So, we carefully unfold the tabs, so that they do not prevent us from detaching the battery and carefully pull the tab, which is in the middle, to remove the battery.

Under the battery we have an adhesive protective coating, which protects the inter-board cable.
