There is an extra step where you need to remove the cover of the board at the top of the phone in order to remove the NFC antenna which is not described in this guide. Better watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADZiL7JK…

Cercando di rimouorere l’adesivo dell’nfc si è rotto, posso assembrale il telefono senza nfc, ovviamente invalidando questa funzione?
