Was du brauchst
-
-
Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
-
Remove the two 3.9 mm Pentalobe screws from either side of Lightning connector.
-

-
If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered.
-
-
-
Regardless of the tool you use, you need to be sure you pull up the entire display.
-
If the glass begins to separate from the plastic, as shown in the first image, slide a plastic opening tool between the plastic frame and the metal phone body to pry the metal clips out of the case.

Turn the handle clockwise 360 degrees or until the cups start to stretch.

-
Pull the plastic nub to release the vacuum seal on the suction cup.

Remove the suction cup from the screen.

Followed this guide, after reassembly
my flash, front and rear camera have stopped working. Anyone got any ideas why?
cheers
gary
If they worked before changing the antenna may be that they are barely seated, try reconnecting the cameras and see if the FPC connector is well embedded
Thanks for this guide.
I just replaced the battery using a different guide but broke the bluetooth and wi-fi antenna. The new battery works but I am reluctant to remove it because it was that process that caused the damage. Albeit more difficult, but is it still possible to replace the bluetooth and wi-fi antenna without removing the battery?
Regards.
