How to open an older Honor phone
The opening procedure on older models of Honor mobile phones is much simpler than on the latest versions of devices. This is due to the fact that the manufacturer provided for its removal and the user’s independent replacement of the battery.
To do this, there is a special protrusion on the cover, by hooking it you can remove it. Sometimes this is quite difficult to do. In this case, the protrusion can be carefully pryed off with a knife. You can also use a plastic card to separate the body parts from each other, since they are often quite tightly joined together. Otherwise, no problems arise during the procedure.
All of the above is true for Honor mobile phones that were manufactured before 2014. After this time, models of devices with a non-removable cover began to appear. Options with removable ones also continued to be produced, but much smaller. Therefore, the removal process on older smartphones released after 2014 may differ.
How to open the cover of an Honor or Huawei phone
Depending on the smartphone model, the removal procedure may vary. Next, we will study the procedure in detail.

- Use a hairdryer and warm up the back panel.
- Press the suction cup firmly onto the panel.
- Gently pull it towards you.

Method 1: remove the panel on Honor with a plastic tool
To implement this method, we will need a small screwdriver and a plastic tool to open the lid (a regular bank card will do).
Do the following:
- Place your Honor phone with the back cover facing up;
- On the bottom of your phone, next to the micro-USB port, there are two Torx (T3) screws that hold the case in place from the bottom. Unscrew them using a micro-screwdriver;
- Next, remove the SIM/SD card tray; Remove the SIM card tray from Honor
- Insert a special plastic tool (a regular bank plastic card will do) between the body and the cover;
- Smoothly running the tool along the contour of the Honor body, separate the cover from the recesses that hold it;
- After you have used the tool along the entire perimeter of the panel, smoothly separate it from the phone. Do not make sudden movements, as in some models a finger scanner cable is connected to it;
- Carefully disconnect the cable (if equipped). On some models, to do this, you will first have to unscrew the screw at the connection point of the cable;
- Completely remove the cover on your Honor.
Replacing and installing a new cover on Honor or Huawei
Follow the same algorithm of actions as presented in the article above. When you are finished disassembling the device, connect the new panel. Don't forget to reconnect the fingerprint cable if available.
Installing a new back cover
As already mentioned, the replacement process is no different from disassembly. The main thing is caution and accuracy, because with a built-in finger sensor you can easily damage the fragile cable.
Additionally, when installing, use hot melt adhesive, and at the end, go over the surface with a hairdryer. You can buy a new panel at any specialized phone parts store. Many people use Aliexpress, where there is a huge selection of models of different prices. Order the part from a trusted seller, based on reviews from customers.
Opening the back cover of a smartphone
The algorithm for disassembling the solid body of an Honor mobile device will look like this:
- Turn off the power of the smartphone by pressing the special key and wait until the device turns off completely.
- Pull out the SIM card slot.
- Warm up the body of the device with a hairdryer.
- Attach the suction cup with the ring to the back cover of the phone, then use a mediator (if you don’t have one, use a thin plastic card) to separate the back panel from the smartphone body.
- Completely remove the cover, which is held on with special glue.
After carrying out all the necessary procedures, you will need to replace the adhesive on the back cover of the device for maximum secure fastening, and then put the panel in its place, making some effort to secure it.

Tips for installing a new battery
Before changing, you need to connect and start the phone. Next, diagnostics are required - look at the charge level and check the serviceability of the mechanism.
Before replacing the Honor 8 battery, you need to remove the tape from the case. The battery is glued to strips of tape. After removing the film, insert the battery and tighten the nuts. After this, the original scanner is quickly connected. After applying glue to the edges of the case and waiting for it to dry, you can put the lid back on.
When the lid is installed, you can use special clothespins to press it tightly. Strong pressing is a guarantee of reliable installation. It's okay if there are no clothespins. You can place the books and wait for the glue to set.
How to remove the connector?
The connector is hidden behind the back frame that frames the edges of the Huawei phone's body. This spare part allows you to connect external elements - a charger, a USB cable, and it is also changed before replacing the battery on Huawei 8. The connector has to experience mechanical stress for more than one day, which leads to breakdown. It breaks if the wire is touched during charging, when the port is loose and as a result cannot charge. A problem also arises if liquid gets in.
If the user encounters such a problem, he will have to remove the battery connector. You can peel off the phone frame and unscrew the screws, but there is an easier way.
To remove the connector and replace the battery on Honor 8, unscrewing the screws, you need to bend the edges. Next, you need to disconnect the battery using a plastic tool.

For several years he worked in mobile phone stores of two large operators. I understand tariffs well and see all the pitfalls. I love gadgets, especially Android ones.
Ask a Question
Question to the expert
The lid does not open. Why?
Perhaps it was not heated well enough, which is why the hot melt adhesive did not soften. If we are talking about a plastic backdrop, you might have forgotten to unscrew the screws that secure it.
What happens if, during reassembly, I use “Moment” instead of hot glue?
Subsequently, disassembling the gadget will be more difficult. The moment is not softened by the action of glass. Therefore, during disassembly there is a possibility of damaging the phone. But you can still use it if you don’t have hot glue on hand. But Moment should be applied in a very thin layer. This will make it easier to disassemble again.
Are the covers on Huawei smartphones removed the same way or differently?
The removal procedure on Huawei and Honor smartphones is absolutely identical. After all, in essence, this is one company. Moreover, the procedure is similar on phones from other manufacturers due to the design features of modern all-in-one gadgets.
Is it possible to damage the backdrop during removal?
Yes, and very easy. The risk is especially high for lids made of metal. They bend easily. The deflection can be straightened, but an ugly dent will still remain in its place. Therefore, you need to be extremely careful and careful.
Is it necessary to reapply glue when reassembling?
Yes. The fact is that all-in-one smartphones have a non-removable cover. Therefore, there are simply no grooves to hold it on the body on such devices. Therefore, without glue, the part will not be fixed in anything. Therefore, she will not hold on either.

Showdown on the count of three
If you did everything correctly, the cover will easily separate from the body. Now you know how to open the back cover of the iPhone 4, this method is also suitable for the iPhone 4S. Now you have the opportunity to replace the back cover, clean the insides of the device from dust, or perform any necessary manipulations. Assembling the smartphone occurs in the same way, in reverse order; when installing, make sure that the miniature screws that secure the cover are screwed in correctly. And, of course, take care to ensure that your iPhone 4 lasts for many years to come.
Xiaomi phones themselves are a little different from the standards we are used to. Due to the fact that SIM cards are inserted from the side, it is not so easy to remove the back cover of the phone.
Yes, you can use a special needle device, but it only helps to reach the card slot in some Hiomi phones. Next, it’s better to stock up on a mediator, and if you don’t have one, in this case any plastic card will help, you need to insert it between the case and the back cover (where the charging connector is), then you need to unclip all the latches around the perimeter:
Another way you can open the back cover of a Xiaomi phone is with any suction cup you have at home (even one from a DVR will do):
In order not to damage anything and to safely open the cover of your Xiaomi smartphone, you need to use a special needle for such purposes; it is included in the kit and looks like this.
Nowadays, many smartphones open with such a thing; you can’t remove the SIM from an iPhone without such a device. Just don’t do like me, don’t use a regular sewing needle to open it, then the phone will act up a little. I opened the SIM card with a needle on an Apple device, and now the SIM card often fails.
What to do with the lid?
To replace the battery on Honor 8, you need to heat the lid to melt a layer of glue. The phone is sent to a thermal mat. It is enough to leave it for a few minutes and then separate it.
If you don't have a mat, you can use a hairdryer with high air flow. They need to be moved evenly around the perimeter of the device for 2-3 minutes.
The lid will not crack during removal if you use a razor blade to reach the joint. The blade is durable and will not break when caught.
The cover and the main board are connected by cables, so before replacing the battery on Honor, the cover is removed as follows:
- The scanner turns off;
- One screw turns off and unscrews the metal plate.
