Your phone should now look like below. Another screw needs to be removed, circled top left. A ribbon needs to be disconnected, circled top right. This attaches like a plug and socket. Just lever it up, away from the circuit board to unplug. The connector, circled bottom right, can also be levered off. The arrow, top right, indicates the volume buttons that are stuck to the side of the phone. Carefully peel them away from the side of the phone (they're stuck down with double sided tape).

To remove this part push your screwdriver into the circled areas. This will release the mains clips holding it in place. Then run your credit card under the edge of the grey part to release it completely.
