Just a note that the flex cables are stuck pretty well to the case. I didn’t rip them but I used a little heat from a hair dryer to soften the glue a bit.

I somewhat agree with christophergosnell on this one but I did manage to lift up the ribbon cables using both my fingernails and a small, then, flat head screwdriver at just the right points. there is also a ribbon cable near the bottom of the phone that I had to transplant that is shown but you don’t include a picture of you even attempting to remove it. I didn’t pay attention what it connected to but I just made sure it went in the same spot on the new screen assembly. Other then that a pretty decent guide.
