Extricate the following 2 T2 Torx screws from the bottom of the OnePlus 3T.
 
Use the plastic triangle opening tool to release the clips and then pop the OnePlus 3T out of its anodized aluminum rear enclosure. There is no pesky adhesive, making this procedure a snap.

Detach the OnePlus 3T battery from the motherboard.
 
Remove the following Phillips screw and metal bracket.
 
Spudge up the interconnect cable and the USB-C port cable from the motherboard.
 
Remove the interconnect cable.
 
Use the exposed clear plastic pull tab to peel the 3400 milliampere-hour (mAh) battery off the adhesive securing it to the OnePlus 3T.

Unfasten the 3 connectors from the USB-C port assembly.
 
Remove the following 7 Phillips screws.
 
Easily pry up the OnePlus 3T USB-C port, headphone jack, and loudspeaker assembly.

Extracting the OnePlus 3T capacitive home button and fingerprint sensor is a breeze. If issues develop with the home button, the absence of solder or adhesive will make it an easy fix.
