This will make it easier to remove the grills from the M8.Now, locate and remove the two small Phillips screws (#00) that secure the display assembly to the body of the smartphone (marked with orange circles). Next, locate and remove the four torx screws (T5) on the other side of the M8 that also secure the display assembly to the body/housing of the smartphone (marked with orange circles).
Insert the precision knife between the rear cover and the M8’s display assembly to free the first of many clips that secure the LCD and touch screen assembly in place.
Once there is separation between the rear cover and display assembly, use the triangle plastic opening tool to work around the perimeter of the smartphone until the rear cover is completely removed.
Removing Motherboard
First, locate and remove the two small Phillips screws (#00) that secure the connection for the battery terminal (marked with solid orange circles).
Next, locate and remove the two coaxial cable connec tions that are also secured to the motherboard (marked with open orange circles). There are two pieces of protective tape over the top of the motherboard. Use the heat gun to help soften and peel up the tape.
