For reference, the backside of the screen is shown in this step.
-
Note the narrow clearance between the edge of the screen and the OLED panel under the glass. If you plan to re-use your screen, be sure to follow the instructions below closely.
-
Also note the two different seams between the body of the phone and the screen:
-
The screen seam: where the screen meets the rest of the phone. This is where the screen will separate, and where you should pry.
-
The midframe seam: where the midframe meets the body of the phone. This part is held down by screws. Do not pry at this seam.
-
-
-
If you aren't careful, the plastic opening tool can damage the fragile OLED display panel underneath the glass.
-
If you want to re-use your phone's screen, make sure you insert your pick at a downward angle, as shown in the second photo of this step.
-
This will ensure the opening pick slides under the OLED panel rather than between the glass and the panel, which will ruin the screen.
-
-
-
Pull up on the suction cup with a strong, steady force to create a gap between the screen and the phone.
-
Insert your opening pick into the gap.
-
Stop if you feel the tip of the pick hitting against something. The pick may be pressing against the edge of the OLED panel. Angle the pick downward and try again.
-
-
-
Carefully slide your opening pick around the upper-right-hand corner of the screen.
-
If you plan to reuse your screen, take special care in this step to either keep your pick deep in the phone under the OLED display (as shown in this step's photos), or only insert it 5 mm into the device to avoid coming into contact with the display under the glass.

-
-
Slide your opening pick along the bottom edge of the phone to separate the last of the adhesive holding the screen in place.
-
If you plan to reuse your screen, take special care in this step to either keep your pick deep in the phone under the OLED display (as shown in this step's photos), or only insert it 5 mm into the device to avoid coming into contact with the display under the glass.
-
Don't try to remove the screen yet! It is still connected to the phone by a display cable.

Guys if you really want to re-utilize the screen, I would suggest keep heating the area, while pulling with the suction cup gently, and using the pick to separate the screen with the body when glued. The bottom part adhesive is really tough to remove … so have patience.
Also, I would recommend using playing cards, or somethin REALLY thin. I used a flat spudger, and trust me, pushing the screen up more than 2mm when glued will crack the OLED. This happened because probably the pannel is Hard OLED and not Soft OLED like in an iPhone X, which you can remove with no issue. This one cracked while being very gentle…
When you get to removing the screws, and afterwards removing the mid frame, it only marks the 2 black screws and 13 silver, I couldnt remove the frame and that's when I saw another screw in the upper right area. After I removed it, removing the midframe was easy so I would recommend also removing that screw.
