Step 2. Remove the tray

First of all, we need to remove the card tray. To do this, we use a special tool. We insert it into the hole and carefully push the tray out.

Step 3. Open the back cover

And after 5 to 7 minutes, we can move on to detaching the back cover.

First, we use a thin metal tool. We need to carefully pry the cover slightly from the edge, lift it to create a small gap in which we can insert a thin plastic tool or plastic film and then use the tool to detach the back cover.

We have to be really careful with the metal tool so that we don't accidentally damage the cover or damage anything underneath the cover itself.

So, we carefully go over the edge with plastic film, cutting away the adhesive base. As always, we need to be careful around the cameras so we don't accidentally damage the lenses.

And it is quite important to note that when detaching this cover on this model, we need to be extremely careful exactly in the area of the camera cover. The camera cover comes as part of the back cover, and the camera cover is very firmly glued to the cover that hides the motherboard.

We have to be careful, really careful not to damage or deform the back cover itself, not to damage the camera lenses, not to damage any other part of the cameras when detaching the back cover, because since the adhesive that is located in the camera area is located in very inconvenient places, glued firmly, it is extremely difficult to detach it, really extremely difficult.

Step 5. Unscrew the screws

After that, we move on to unscrewing the nine screws at the top. For this we use a Phillips screwdriver one and a half millimeters or Philips #000.

It is better to place the screws on a special surface in a certain order, so that we do not confuse anything when reassembling. If the screws do not come out well, we can use a magnetizer, if the screws get stuck, we can use tweezers.

Step 9. Open the middle cover

After removing the screws, we need to detach the middle cover. To do this, we should use a thin plastic film or a thin plastic tool.

Insert the tool into the gap between the middle cover and the display frame near the card tray hole and carefully go along the edge, unclip a few clips and then use a thicker tool.

We need to be careful around the side buttons and the fingerprint sensor so as not to accidentally damage them. We also need to be careful on the corners, because the cover in these places is held firmly. And of course we need to be careful with the display edge so that we don't accidentally break off a piece of the edge.

Carefully go along the edge and unclip the clips, thus detaching the middle cover. There is no need to hurry, no need to act forcefully, so as not to accidentally damage anything.

Step 13. Remove the daughterboard

And we can try to detach the sub-board.

As always, we need to find the right place where we can gently pry, lift and remove the sub-board.

Also, we don't need to be in a hurry, nor do we need to force the sub-board, so that we don't accidentally break off a piece of the board - as our sub-board is quite thin.

On the sub-board we have the microphone, charging port and card connector.

The vibration motor remains in the display frame.

Step 17. Remove the battery

And finally we move on to detaching the battery.

Traditionally for huawei models we have three brown tabs, which, unfortunately, are easy to tear off, and on the tabs there is a description in what order and what exactly we should pull and therefore before tearing off the tabs it is better to read the description first.

So, we have pulled off the brown tabs as much as possible, so that they do not interfere with us.

The tab that we have in the middle, we have to pull upwards.
