Before you start following any of the steps of this guide, completely turn the device off.
Take the plastic back cover off by either using a plastic Pry tool or simply using your hands. Start from the bottom by the charging port
Remove any installed SIM card and memory microSD cards.
Push the SIM card into the phone, and the spring eject mechanism should release the card.
The microSD memory card(s) may not have an eject mechanism. If so, they must be removed carefully by pushing on the raised edge/bump that is built onto the card. Use your fingernail or a plastic or rubber tool, but not one that will scratch and damage the delicate card.
Patience must be taken to prevent irreversible damage and loss of data on the card.

Unscrew the 3.5mm screws, total of 14, located on the back protective cover by using a T5 Torx screwdriver.

Use a plastic opening tool to remove the protective cover.
Carefully work the plastic tool around all the edges of the phone.
The protective cover holds the Volume and the Home buttons which might fall off the assembly when the cover is removed.

Disconnect the connection between the Battery and the Mother Board by using the Pry tool.

With the battery already disconnected,work around its edge with the pry tool to remove it from the assembly.
The battery is attached with a sticker, so it may take some work to pry up. Just work at it slowly and carefully until you get it.
