Before starting the repair, make sure the device is completely powered off and the SIM card has been removed.
(Figures 1.1 & 1.2) With your Torx T4 screwdriver. On the bottom of the phone you will have two ( 2 ) screws that need to be removed.
(Figures 1.3 & 1.4) With your screws out. Take your safe pry tool and start front the bottom and wedge it in as you see at 1.3 once you have it in you can slowly go around the sides getting from the top to the bottom and the back case will come off.

With the back cover removed, you now have sixteen (16) Small Phillips screws to remove (circled in red in figure 2.1).

(Figures 3.1 & 3.2) After the screws have been removed, use your pry tool and remove the top clip on covers. These covers protect the flex cables.

Next you will begin removing five (9) flex cables and components (figure 4.1). The cables and components include the charging port/Mic cable, battery connection cable, LCD connection, and front and rear camera.
Now you can remove the antenna cables (highlighted in red in figure 4.1). Note, this step is optional as they can be removed with the motherboard in the next step

(Figure 7.3 & 7.4) Shows you the Digitizer flex that you will need to slide it in the slot out of the phone as the Digitizer is now free.
