Be sure to slide the metal spudger between the dock connector and the antenna cover, and not into the dock connector itself.

Insert a metal spudger into the slot between the dock connector and the antenna cover. Gently pry up near the two tabs to create a small gap between the antenna cover and the silver front bezel.
