Step 1.
Use the ejection tool (aka Needle) or Paperclip. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the tray ejects, and then pull the tray of SIM and Memory card (Micro SD) out.
⚠ Pay attention! The tool must be inserted into a hole on the edge of the phone's housing. Do not press too hard. It may break the tray eject mechanism.
Step 2.
We recommend using a special heating device such as a separator machine, heat gun, or heating mat. It will simplify the process. You can use a home hairdryer, but you will have to make a nozzle by hand or have a suitable one in the kit to gently heat and concentrate the heat flow in the right place.
ℹ️ The surface of the back cover must be heated to soften the adhesive underneath. The approximate heating temperature is 50° C / 125° F.
Use a thin plastic film or pick for separation. To facilitate the process, you can use isopropyl alcohol. It is often most difficult to pass the tool between the parts to be divided. Choose the far edge from the FFC cables or buttons.
Do not use a lever or any force for separation that could damage the elements inside.
Step 3.

Remove the sub-board. It is glued to the frame with metalized tape, so to facilitate the process, the board can be heated a bit.
ℹ️ The board contains a charging port (Micro USB), microphone, headphone jack socket, spring contacts for the speaker, vibration motor, and an antenna unit.
⚠ It is not necessary to insert the tool under the board when removing the sub-board. Internal components could be damaged.
Step 13.
Carefully, preferably from the edge, disconnect the connector and remove the inter-board cable connecting the mainboard to the daughterboard (also known as the sub-board).
⚠ Be careful when removing the cables from the connectors, the cables are pretty thin, and it is easy enough to break them or damage the contact tracks inside.
ℹ️ An arrow on the FFC cable (flexible flat cable) indicates its correct position.
Step 14.
Disconnect the connectors on the motherboard, and remove one front (selfie) camera and three rear cameras.
Step 15.
Using a screwdriver (Phillips 1.5 mm PH000), unscrew one screw securing the motherboard.

⚠ Do not bend the circuit board when removing it or push tools under it. Unbeknownst to yourself, you can damage components or cables from the inside.
Step 18.
