I removed the battery cover so I can get to the guts of the phone to replace the digitizer. I found that my phone has 3 normal phillips screws and 3 silver screws that i've got no idea how to remove. I thought at first they were torx screws but they weren't. So does anyone hear know what kinda screws these are and how to remove them? Thanks.

I see way more than 6 screws when I remove my battery cover. And everyone is a phillips. I have only seen phones with phillips or torx screws. If they look like torx then they must be torx. If the driver doesn't fit then get a different size.

At the top of the phone there is one silver screw and one philips screw on the left and right corners of the phone respectively. The centre left and right screws are philips and the bottom screws are silver. I've tried T5-T10 screw drivers and none of them have managed to open the case. I'm thinking they might be Hex screws but idk.

Thats as good of a pic as i could get. The heads themselves look either Hex or simply circular its kinda hard to tell when eyeballing them bcuz they may have stripped somehow.

my phone I bought new. I think its cuz the fact that my phone is one of the first made. Cuz my mom has the exact same phone and then she got a refurbished one cuz her digitzer got screwed up and her new refurbished phone has all philips screws.

I have to say that they are torx bits and not allen heads.  I have yet to see a phone that uses allen screws.  There are many torx sizes between T5-T10.  Even half sizes.  Chances are that you just didn't use the correct driver or used inferior drivers that have stripped it out.
