    • The midframe is secured to the display assembly by several plastic clips behind the chrome bezel of the midframe. The next few steps will guide you through separating the clips to free the midframe.

    • Starting on the volume button side of the phone, insert your plastic opening tool between the chrome bezel around the display glass and the larger chrome border piece. Look for the seam between the two.

    • Slide the opening tool along the seam, separating the plastic clips as you go.

    • Be very gentle whilst prying, and pry only enough to separate the plastic clips—there are several thin points in the midframe bezel that may crack if you bend them too much.

    • Continue sliding the opening tool around the top of the phone, releasing the last of the clips and freeing the midframe from the display assembly.

    • At this point, you may want to run your plastic opening tool along the entire perimeter of the device again, to make sure you've released all of the plastic clips.

Any instructions for replacing the front speaker? I think I clogged it with glue when replacing the front glass.

Thanks!

Great set of instructions! Pictures are very accurate and helpful! When it only take 5-10 mins to do something you have never tried before, you know the instructions were excellent! Thanks

Excellent instructions. At step 12, the bracket is fragile and can easily ping off across the room so be careful. Thanks.

My front camera is a bright white also, even on video recording but you can still hear sound.
