How to disassemble the iPhone 4 and put it back together again

[Miranotuk]

is there other way to take the screws of without pentalobe driver? i don't have any...

[GilbertusesanIbanez]

@Miranotuk No man, the only way is to find one online. Or make one yourself. But I don't think you have a forge do you? lol

[ragingpwner241]

But will it blend?

[lifsabch]

Absolutely great tutorial. Fixed my first Iphone 4. My hair might be alot grayer than it was before doing it but I learned alot. What a rush to plug it in and to see it charge! :-)

-Don't worry we got Wall-E...

[thecreshow]

Hi, if my only goal is to change the vibration, (after releasing the battery) can I skip to the 5 screws at 1:30 and then skip again to 3:08 without lifting the mainboard? Thanks! Great tutorial :)

[masstheass]

so wait can I just buy the vibrating motor and replace it like that ? without any ribbons or anything

[Halofreakfan100]

Thumbs up If you watched the whole thing

[Mw3MoNsTa27]

i am looking into buying broken iphones and take them apart to sell them for parts. which pieces are worth the most?

[Opcbock]

Best video from iphone montage. Great. I have desplay changed with this video :))

[wwwcnncn]

@Opcbock Glad it helped you on that

[Hamdi928]

omg he has walle :D

[MikaelaaXD]

um.. im scared to do this looool

[eliltz]

Thanks a lot man!!! this tut is great !

[wwwcnncn]

@eliltz u're welcome

[maty4me]

good stuff

[nitroevaderbx]

call me crazy but i would swear that the screws on the bottom of mine are not phillips.

[wwwcnncn]

@nitroevaderbx You most likely have the revised Pentalobe/Pentalobular screws

[nitroevaderbx]

@wwwcnncn yes. thats what they are.

[TheSinningChrist]

@nitroevaderbx That's common. Earlier versions of the phone shipped from the factory with philips, but later in production they switched to a pentalobe screw.

[jac21389]

@nitroevaderbx The older 4's have phillips.  The newer issue ones have a star pattern.

[GilbertusesanIbanez]

@nitroevaderbx That's because in late 2010 Apple started putting in a special 5 point pentalobe TS1 basically. They tried to limit access to the public of getting into their phones, and what better way to do that than remove the standard Phillips, and introduce a new screw that can't be turned without a specific tool only they had.

[Apehjan818]

Thanks a lot I was able to change my sister's iphone 4 screen. Excellent instructions!

[Wallaceex3]

i was genuinely scared for the person doing this.

[Magicairsoft9]

Good re/assembly video, but what a weird display :-O

[96mariet]

Do you know if the people at apple store will do this for you?

[pinoykaiser]

Why the fuck would you do that?

[kingb82]

@pinoykaiser yeah seriously. if youre only changing it to white, why not just change swap the fucking phone numbers. lol

[xxxamandaxxxful]

omg im happy that my iphone works but the homebutton doesnt!!!!!! :CCCCCC

[DanceAtMidnight12]

I don't think I wanna risk it.

[Heatlink1]

What happen if i break one of the tabs?

[connorTHEdragon]

@dale1443 she didnt say that to me.........

[kamroshka]

My iphone stooped working after this dont use

[ghoshee]

fuck this shit the warning battery sticker to pull the battery out came off ! and i used screw and it blew the fucking battery off !!!!! thnx for the warning dumb ass

[jacobfain9]

instead of all those tools to disassemble it i used a hammer

[Sp4ceInv4der]

if you have white parts doesnt that mean that he would of had to dissassemble a white one

[OhYaH811]

[samat94]

#Fuck i Wanna Disassemble My Iphone 4 For ? This Was Made A Year A Go ! ! !

[MattDylanDigital]

thinking about swapping the 5mpxl camera from the iphone 4 out for the 8mpxl from the 4s, do you guys know anything about the ribbon cables connecters looking simmilar>?

[BreadForButter]

@MattDylanDigital amazing idea, will it work though?

[MattDylanDigital]

@BreadForButter IDK, the 4S is out as well as the parts, the camera is only a few bucks, im willing to try it on my phone if anyone can shoot me a link of where to buy the part :)

[BreadForButter]

@MattDylanDigital bad news it doesn't work. They have confirmed on ifixit that the connectors are completely different so there is no chance of making the switch. On the bright side Siri will be coming to the jailbroken iPhone 4 soon!

[WeHugCreepers]

I was tempted to un-screw my iPhone whilst watching this, then I looked at my phone and said; "nah fuck that."

[SpookyMindz]

@WeHugCreepers EXACTLY what i also thought :P

[wichonation1]

i messed mine up jajajajaja so yeah get a pro to do it for you jajajajaja

[co0ldave]

Is it possible 2 change the CPU from a4 to the a5 on the iPhone 4 ?

[pacstar514]

Is it normal that after changing the screen, my battery drains much faster. I used to last 1 day with normal usage before... and now... its like 4-5h.. HELP please if you know how could I fix this problem!

[mafiosi7]

hmm im not even goin to risk it!

[RobRedbeard23]

After watching a dozen similar videos, this is the one that I'm bookmarking. I bet this guy works at Foxconn.

Likes:

-Avoids damaging warranty sticker

-Shows that the 6 mid plate screws don't need to be fully removed

-Actually has tight camera angles so you can see professional tool work

[Buzmoo]

feel alseep during this video cause of the music haha

[motoxfrost]

i just wanna ask what your opinion on if i dropped my iphone 4 into a swimming pool... full of chlorinated water.. what are the chances of saving the phone? much appreciated.. frosty.

[mafiosi7]

@motoxfrost sweet nick name!!

[1FastfingersMcgee1]

im not a speed reader..

[jtjt663]

@wwwcnncn i transform my iphone 4 black, into a white one by following you. After this change, the proximity senzor don't work, and i have weak signal to the network. Do you have any ideea or sugestion how can I fix ?! Thx

[360kills]

@wwwcnncn i have an iphone 4 and got all new parts and took it apart now i can't put it together can i send it you and pay you to

[zacryan17]

Thanks buddy, u helped me to save more than 200 dolars. THANKS!!! :D

[aloopyneutron2]

imagine a classroom scenario:

teacher says, "ok class, today we are going to dissect an iPhone 4. as you can see, this assignment is a major grade and any fuck ups and you WILL fail. oh, and when you are finished take it apart, let's "michael jackson" it up and put it back together from a black iPhone into a white iPhone. you may begin."

[jcool0085]

@jcool0085 Focalprice

[Rknaub420]

Great video. Amazing quality and description. This video made me decide to just say screw it, and live with the broken lock button. I'm not attempting that.

[bryguy124]

I really don't want to send my iPhone away to get a color conversion kit installed, but this looks really hard lol.

[carlossavala1]

Safety pin duhh :\

[anjohnel]

i want one of those simcard remover where can i buy? :)

[nettielovesmusic]

I'm so glad I didn't read the comments before trying this. I had gotten pudding in the charging port and needed to clean it out. This worked perfectly.

[WWEcoversTV]

hes teaching how to take it apart in case your digitizer cracks or screen button battery...rest was just for him

[kleingevaarlijkafval]

cool vid. but i wouldn't take my 600 euro phone apart just to get another cover color. luckily tho i bought it only 2 days ago and it's white

[jyounas]

Great video, for those ass holes complaining get a fucking life and do something useful in it.

[youtony9]

+ 10 for wall-e XD

[beatonz06]

@ajganggarak Well... If you had any product knowledge at all, you know aftermarket companies had kits that would change your phone to white. They still do. You can get several colors that apple doesn't offer. It's okay that you're not very bright, just don't bring other people down when you obviously don't know anything.

[beatonz06]

Well... If you'd notice... The video was made almost a year ago. Way before you could buy a white iPhone, genius. It's a miracle most people are still alive. Very good write up on disassembly. Thank you.

[ajganggarak]

Why the fuck would anyone wanna go through all this for? I have a black iPhone 4 and if I really want a white one, I'll just go buy a white one. 

[oldblackstreet]

@ajganggarak you want to spend 600$ for a f****g white colour? please...kill yourself...

[ajganggarak]

@oldblackstreet, sorry that u're born poor...

[oldblackstreet]

@ajganggarak sorry that you're born rich and stupid :)

[egknot]

Hello, hey I only need to repleace the gharging port, do I need to disassemble the whole phone ?

[littleAndreeetje]

@egknot hahaha dumb fuck, check the vid xD

[rudyburnez]

[primitivc69]

It is downhill from here for your iPhone, it will never make another Thriller.

[dale1443]

[jflorenzo1]

[klubberdrax]

hey man great vid :) was wondering if you could do a vid on the iphone 4 home button dissassembly. would be great :)

thanks

p.s. there arent any on youtube at the moment

[devilxao]

@DAngeloG12395

Yes, that would be great! I have also searched for a video that shows how to replace the home button. But haven't found it...

[illkou92]

I just did it and epic fail. I had water damage so i guess i dont care. but holy sh*t. fu*k that

[cheezzyman21]

@illkou92 if you have water damage, all you need to do is remove the back cover and put it in a bag of rice

[illkou92]

I just did it and epic fail. I had water damage so i guess i dont care. but holy shit. fuck that

[Anadiocha]

i preferer to buy both

[popmech505]

This video helped me so much! I didnt have the small torx screwdriver but i used a resistor that can be bought in a pack at radio shack. the resistor has soft wire ends that i pressed into the torx screws and BAM! The screws are made of really hard metal, and the soft metal forms to the right shape. use a strong magnet to keep the screws from vanishing into thin air. The other screws are Phillips and can be unscrewed with some standard precision screwdrivers. now my phone is dry and it works.

[aloosh658]

why cant u just buy white instead huh?

[fffnorbi]

wow that is realy hard job

[bestofthings]

i like the screwdriver, where can i get the exact same one,

[bestofthings]

@bestofthings the philips screwdriver size 00, where can i buy the exact same one

[MegaBeerFart]

You've got better brass to do this than I do. Its amazing how life changes on you. You tend to care very little as a kid about the property of others, especially when its paid for by your parents. And you wonder why your parents freak out when you break expensive stuff. But when you have to physically work for your money to have nice things like this and realize how tough it is to obtain them, you become your parents in essence.

[charger19691]

Incredible! Sorry about the spelling!

[nellynelson76]

I watched this tutorial for a few days, till i got used to the steps. I bought both the white front and back and the home button. Al I'm gonna say, is that THIS SHOULD BE NOTED THAT YOU WILL BREAK BITS OF THE PHONE!!! NO....YOU WILL!!! Nevermind Wall-e... I've got the shell of a phone that doesn't work.. all i'm saying is DONT TRY THIS IF YOU ONLY TAKING THIS FOR A STEP BY STEP AND DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!!!
