    • Opening your phone will compromise its waterproof seals. Have replacement adhesive ready before you proceed, or take care to avoid liquid exposure if you reassemble your phone without replacing the adhesive.

    • Prepare an iOpener and heat the back of the phone along its left edge for about two minutes. This will help soften the adhesive securing the back cover.

    • You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times to get the phone warm enough. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the OLED display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

    • In the following steps, you'll be cutting through the adhesive securing the back cover.

    • The adhesive is laid out as seen in the first image, which shows the inside of the cover after it has been removed.

    • As seen from outside the phone, you'll be slicing through the adhesive in the areas shown:

    • Thick portions of adhesive

    • Thin areas of adhesive

    • Avoid prying or slicing in this area, to protect the fingerprint sensor flex cable.

    • Secure a suction cup to the back cover, as close to the heated edge as possible.

    • The suction cup will not make a good seal on the curved portion of the glass, so avoid putting it on the very edge.

    • If the phone's back cover is cracked, the suction cup may not stick. Try lifting it with strong tape, or superglue the suction cup in place and allow it to cure so you can proceed.

    • Lift the back cover's left edge with your suction cup, opening a slight gap between the back cover and the frame.

    • This may require a significant amount of force, but you only need to open a very slight gap with the suction cup to insert your tool.

    • If you have trouble, apply more heat to further soften the adhesive, and try again. The adhesive cools very fast, so you may need to heat it repeatedly.

    • If you're using an iOpener, follow instructions to avoid overheating it, or the gel pack may burst.

  4. Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 4, afbeelding 1 van 2 Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 4, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Insert an opening pick into the gap.

    • The rear glass can break if you use too much force or attempt to pry with metal tools.

    • Optionally, once the pick is inserted, you can add a few drops of isopropyl alcohol into the gap to help weaken the adhesive in the following steps.

    • Slide your opening pick along the left edge of the phone to slice through the adhesive securing the back cover.

    • Afterward, it may help to leave the pick in place and grab a second pick as you proceed to the next step. Leaving the pick inserted can help prevent the glue you just separated from re-adhering.

  6. Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 6, afbeelding 1 van 2 Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 6, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Continue slicing through the adhesive along the bottom edge of the phone.

    • Re-heat the back cover as needed to prevent the glue from cooling and hardening.

    • The glued area is larger here, so you'll need to insert your pick farther into the phone to fully separate it.

    • Again, it may help to leave the opening pick in place and grab another one for the following step.

    • Slice through the remaining adhesive along the top edge and right side.

    • You can damage the fingerprint sensor's flex cable if you insert your pick too far in this step. Work carefully and use the diagram in step 2 for guidance.

  8. Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 8, afbeelding 1 van 2 Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 8, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Don't try to fully remove the back cover yet.

    • Lift the back cover from its left edge and hinge it open slightly.

  9. Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 9, afbeelding 1 van 2 Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 9, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Use the point of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the fingerprint sensor flex cable.

  10. Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 1 van 3 Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 2 van 3 Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • During reassembly, in order to reconnect the fingerprint sensor cable, first angle the back cover into position until the cable connector lines up perfectly over its socket.

    • Then, use the flat end of your spudger to gently snap the connector into place by pressing it straight down.

    • If you have slender hands, you may be able to press the connector into place with your finger. Just be careful not to strain the cable.

    • This takes patience and a bit of practice. Don't rush it or attempt to force the connector into place.

    • Remove the back cover.

    • To install a new back cover:

    • Use tweezers to peel away any remaining adhesive from the phone's chassis. Then clean the adhesion areas with high concentration isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%) and a lint-free cloth to prep the surface for the new adhesive.

    • Peel the adhesive backing off of the new rear glass, carefully line up one edge of the glass against the phone chassis, and firmly press the glass onto the phone.

    • To reinstall the back cover, or to install a back cover without pre-installed adhesive, follow this guide.

    • Be sure to turn on your phone and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing the phone.

    • If desired, you may reinstall the back cover without replacing the adhesive. Remove any large chunks of adhesive that might prevent the back cover from sitting down flush. After installation, heat the back cover and apply pressure to secure it. It won't be waterproof, but the glue is usually more than strong enough to hold.

    • You may also need to transfer the camera bezel to your new part. If that's the case, follow our camera bezel replacement guide.

    • Remove the eleven 3.7 mm Phillips screws securing the wireless charging coil + antenna assembly.

    • If any screws are difficult to remove even when fully loosened, you can pull them out with tweezers.

  13. Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 13, afbeelding 1 van 2 Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 13, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • The wireless charging coil + antenna assembly is also secured with small plastic clips.

    • Use a spudger to gently pry up the plastic in the marked areas to pop the clips free.

    • The battery is strongly glued into place.

    • If available, apply some isopropyl alcohol under each corner of the battery and allow it to penetrate for several minutes to help weaken the adhesive.

    • Alternatively, apply a freshly heated iOpener to the display directly behind the battery for two minutes to help soften the adhesive. Re-heat and reapply the iOpener as necessary.

    • Insert a couple of opening picks or a plastic card along the outer edge of the battery.

    • Apply steady, even pressure to slowly lever the battery up and out of the phone.

    • Try your best not to deform the battery during this process. Soft-shell lithium-ion batteries can leak dangerous chemicals, catch fire, or even explode if damaged. Do not use excessive force or pry at the battery with metal tools.

  18. Samsung Galaxy S8+ Battery Replacement: stap 18, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the battery.

    • Do not reuse the battery after it has been removed, as doing so is a potential safety hazard. Replace it with a new battery.

    • To install a new battery and adhesive, follow this guide.

this Iso + Heat method makes tough adhesive a thing of the past! just be patient. like the guide says, 2 mins to allow iso to penetrate

I applied the alcohol using a small paint brush, dipped into my iso jar, and “painted” along the battery edges.

roughly 30 seconds with heat gun on the front glass, boom, a freed battery

Just received this kit and I see it comes with the big adhesive, but it also has a smaller blue adhesive and a rectangle thing(that I think goes behind the battery?) that has a small one with it. Where do these things go?

Check out their guide they have up now for the replacement of this adhesive. Specifically, take a look at the pictures in step 10 to see where the little pieces are supposed to go.

Highly recommend against doing this. Even going carefully and reheating, 2 of the corners cracked when moving the pick through. So much for taking perfect care of the phone for 2 years =o(

Ditto. I ended up cracking my glass using the iOpener method as well. After no ordering and replacing the rear glass as well now, I am resorting to only using isopropyl alcohol from now on. No matter how hot I got the iOpener, how long I let it heat soak the adhesive, or how many times i reheated the iOpener and reapplied it, I never got any of this adhesive to come off without a risky struggle. And upon ordering all the adhesive kits, I still was shipped missing pieces of adhesive (camera, fingerprint reader, specific support adhesive, etc.). Very frustrating and time consuming process; far more than what these guides say it takes.
