Heating up the back cover
Used tools

Heat gun
The edge of the back cover is heavily glued. It is therefore essential to first heat it up sufficiently. Use a hot air device for this purpose, such as a heat gun or an ordinary hair dryer.
Heat the edge of the back cover by running the hot air device evenly over it.

iFlex Opening Tool

VAKUPLASTIC Suction Cup
To create a narrow gap between back cover and display unit you need a flat, stable tool. We recommend the iFlex for this, since it has particularly sharp edges that can be easily inserted.
Attach a suction cup to the lower edge of the back cover and pull it upwards. Insert the iFlex between the display unit and the back cover at the same time.

Flat Picks

To avoid damaging the edge of the case with the sharp edges of the iFlex, you should switch to a plastic tool like the iPlastix as soon as possible.
Be extra careful when loosening around the camera module, so you don't damage it with your tool.

Drive the tool completely around the edge of the back cover to loosen it piece by piece.

Slide flat picks under the back cover at regular intervals, so that the glue cannot bond again.

There is already an adhesive frame integrated on the inside of the replacement back cover.
In order for the adhesive to bond properly and for the back cover to sit level, we recommend that you remove any remnants of the old adhesive frame and heat the edge of the back cover for a few minutes.

Remove the protective film from the inside of the back cover.

Align the back cover over the screen unit.

Close your Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro after the repair by pressing the back cover back onto the screen unit.
