This is an unofficial teardown to iFixit of the great Samsung Galaxy S II, enjoy! ;)
-
-
Look at how slim the phone is! Only 8.49mm thin!
-
Back cover is flexible but don't worry it will not break. It also has a nice texture to it.
The plastic cover is elastic, but hardly fragile. You can bend it 180° and it doesn't break.
True, I tried to edit the guide to show this information but was denied!
Have a look at this video that shows how durable the battery cover is! Thin, light and durable, now we're talking!

A video about this amazingly thin, light and flexible battery cover! Try and beat that aluminum!

Removing the back panel gives you an impressive and sophisticated view of the internals.

Removing the motherboard is as simple as it looks !
-
Unclip the 5 ribbon connectors and the antenna cable.
-
Then remove the 2 small black screws.
-
Don't forget to unglue the volume flex and power flex, they are attached to the motherboard. Otherwise the motherboard won't come out easily like it should.
pry off the glued power and volume buttons before lifting the board because too much pressure will tear the ribbon from the board leading to much heartache
Thanks. I tried an external antenna in the port under the cover, to the top left of the battery, and now I get "mobile operator not available" when the antenna isn't in. I've read that a factory reset won't cure this but if I replaced the pcb part that should be me "back to normal"? Thanks

I fixed it. Insert a SIM card from another operator, select "Automatic" from the mobile networks and the phone will work. Reboot with your regular SIM back in and choose "Automatic" again and back to normal. People elsewhere say you need a new motherboard (or send to Samsung etc for repair) as it's not possible to solve via software. I tried another SIM to test if it was hardware or software related and it most certainly is solvable via software. Unless I was very very lucky, which I never am.

The camera connector is at the upper left corner in the second picture.

The power and volume buttons are soldered to the logic board.
You can further enhance your 3g/wifi signal through the use of extension antenna - http://telcoantennas.com.au/site/patch-l...

The vibrator, first mic (did you know there are two?), cinch plug and the earspeaker.

It's stuck with glue to the front panel.

The (only) antenna cable and a metal shield holding the light sensor in place.
Hello. How do you actually unglue the USB flex cable ? Do you use chemical products, heat, or simply tear it ?
-

-
This is it.
-
It still works after reassembly!
Can you please describe how to replace the home button and the associated OEM Flex Cable Keypad Button Ribbon? I have the home button acting like it is always pressed and I tried to change everything in the phone (hw and sw) but it's still not working right :(

I'm watching you guys... i'm waiting to take back my s2 from service..
water damage... they told me that it will be fixed with 380 euro.....
ofcourse i will not pay the money so i'll try to fix it my shelf,,
the phone doesn't turn on at all and they told me that there is oxidation to the main card and to the screen..
i dont understand their report so i'm waiting to take it in my hands..
greek service for ever!!!!
have a question. the display cracked till the point that you cant use the or see the screen. Sprint sent me a replacement since I have insurance., but I need information off the internal usb. Is there a way to unplug of one phone and plug to another and get the information off
i was just wondering,
the volume key
how do you solder it on if you ripped it off when you took your phone apart?
and, is it soldered on...?
new keys are easy to find online, and you'll need to use a fine tip soldering iron to put the new one on
