Evo Opening Tool?
- Thread starter ctzw
- Start date
Hey there. Just opened my evo for the first time yesterday. I wont mention the method that I used because it left little jagged edges in my plastic frame. I would try again with a plastic "safe-pry" tool, just like the green ones you posted. It takes considerably more force than I had expected after removing the torx screws, both to remove the backing (pictured in your post) and to remove the screen (this is what I was up to - cracked glass replacement). "A bit of adhesive" is what I was told holds the glass into the plastic frame... understatement of the year with my Evo. I really had to work at it. Again, the tool I used jacked me up a little, so I would not reccommend using anything other than something plastic that can slide in between the separation of the frame and whatever you are trying to remove. Good luck!
so THATS what the inside of my phone looks like 
I'm too afraid to even attempt to open mine..
I had a dream one night that I dropped it in the toilet, I quickly took out the battery dried it off, but it was broke.
I woke up sweaty and relieved that it was just a dream!!
Worst dream ever ><

I've been looking everywhere for a plastic safety tool. Where can you buy them other than online

Just use your fingernail and go all the way around the case, ive had mine apart like fifty times, too easy...
I agree that's all I've ever used and never had a problem...

Best website I've come across regarding Evo repair instructions, even provides links and purchasing options for the tools needed, as well as parts

Four clips around phone
The video is a good guide and same one I used, just adding a reminder.
The plastic tool is to be used along the gap to remove the adhesive and separate the clips along the sides of the phone, careful for the be clips or very delicate and can easily broken with your fingers.

I was able to buy a complete set of tools from a frys electroic store. I use them to fix smartphones and laptops. Those green pry tools and guitar picks look like they should work. :good:
i was able to use my index fingers and thumbs to bump a 6 month old thread, and the back cover came right off. easy peasy.
Haha. Yeah, best advice I can give is to not force anything that feels like it is being stubborn and only use plastic tools when prying open things.
this has nothing really to do with this thread but i swear i thought the title said "eye opening tool" i then proceeded to "wat?" all over the place wondering why its in the accessories section for the evo, then i realized the error in my reading haha
I've used evo opening tools to open my eyes with minimal and painful success.
