              Remove the Inner Cover Screws               
  • Remove the thirteen black screws and the single silver screw from the back of the phone with a JIS size 00 screwdriver.
  • The black screws are 2.8 mm in length.
  • The silver screw is 5.5 mm in length.
  • The black screw next to the camera and the flash is covered by a sticker. This screw can be easily removed as if there were no sticker on top of it. The point of the screwdriver should be able to pierce through the sticker easily.
