Introduction

This guide provides instructions for removing the back cover of the ZTE Blade X Max. You will have to use heating products to complete this guide. If you are using the iFixit iOpener, or a heating pad, be sure to follow the instructions for that particular product.

Tools

Step 1

Use the iOpener or heating pad to heat around the edges of the phone to melt the adhesive.
It will take about ten minutes for the adhesive to be heated enough to remove the backing.
You will have to reheat the iOpener or heating pad a few times.

Step 2

Slide the Jimmy along the under backing and lightly push the plastic up.
You will hear a snapping sound as you slide the Jimmy along the backing. This is from the closures releasing. There should be seven total closures on either side of the device, and three on the top and bottom.

Step 3

Carefully remove the backing from the phone once the closures are released.
If you do not open all of the closures on the backing do not attempt to pry it off.
Be careful when opening the back of the phone. The fingerprint scanner is connected by a thin film that will tear if pulled too roughly.
