Before the teardown process, we need to remove the SIM card tray first.

There is no screw at the bottom cover, so the back cover and the chassis are glued together. We need to heat up the back cover about five minutes with a heat gun.

Insert a guitar pick between the back cover and chassis.
Slide the pick by the edges to remove the back cover completely.

Open the back cover slowly, be careful, the fingerprint module is still connecting to the motherboard.

The fingerprint module is fixed on the motherboard by a metal bracket.

Remove two screws that securing the metal bracket and disconnect the fingerprint cable from the motherboard.

Now you can remove the back cover completely.

The fingerprint module

From top to bottom: motherboard, battery and speakers/ports.

The metal frame functions as a cushion to protect the glass back cover when being dropped.

Remove all screws securing the middle frame.
The middle frame is glued with the metal chassis as well, preventing water penetrating.

Here’s the middle frame.

This is the dual color flash light, embedded in the metal frame.

The motherboard of Huawei Honor 8 is quite compact. The main chipsets are all covered with metal shields.

This is the speaker module and the USB Type-C port.

Remove all screws securing the motherboard and separate the motherboard from the metal chassis.

The speaker of Honor 8 is square and with 4 touch points (the left one above). The distance sensor by light resides on the right of the speaker as shown above.

The rubber circle prevents the headset jack from being loose due to plug and unplug too often.

The volume button and power button are fixed by the metal bracket.

  1. hi, for Honor 8 , can you help me about info whether volume button is attached to body/frame or it’s easily replaceable?? Is it a separate part ??

  2. I spilt some sticky food on the speaker and since the volume is very low. Any suggestions of how to fix this?

    1. You can open the phome and clean the speaker, if the volume is still very low, you need to replace your speaker.
      If you can write a repair guide for us, we will send you a new speaker for free.

  3. Is it possible to remove the volume and power buttons including the flex cable from an old frame and move them to a new one? Currently I have all parts out of the old one except for those sidebuttons. They seem really stuck in the frame and I don’t know how to disassemble them. Any tips?

  4. Hi,
