There are a lot of people complaining on here that this repair is all but impossible. I was able to change out my battery just fine with this guide. Yes, there are a couple of grey areas that are left open to interpretation, but if you are experienced with repairs this should be no problem. Thanks for the guide!
I am a repair tech for phone repair shop, so I've repaired a ton of phones. Getting this glass to come up with the lcd was nearly impossible. The adhesive between the glass and the LCD is released much easier than the adhesive behind the LCD. Therefore, the LCD breaks about 99% of the time. I was extremely cautious and patient, and the lcd still cracked from being pulled on by the glass. Long story short, bgauch, you're not wrong about this.
