I like how companies make it more and more difficult for the customer to fix their own problems. It was no reason for this phone not to have an easy to remove and reinstall back glass cover. Companies ( including car company and others ) do this because they try and force you to return to them so they can get more of your money.

I used my hair dryer on high everything. I couldn’t get the back to lift with the suction cup though. I ended up working my way in from the side where the back was broken most. Once in I was able to work around and alternatively loosen the adhesive and reheat where needed. I didn’t do near as clean of a job as you did but then again the back was also shattered which is why I was replacing it in the first place.
Installing the new back was extremely easy though! Thanks for the tutorial!

Super clear and informative video, thanks

This doesn't seem too difficult, if the repair costs are outlandish I think I will attempt to do it myself. Thank you

👍👍👍👍👍👍 What a mission. 😄
Nevertheless. Thank you. Appreciate the video. I may try replacing rear cover but for now I'll leave it broken. Phone still operates. 😊

so u put more adhesive before putting the case back on? i need to this to my s10e

[tedclev]

If you only have to replace the camera glass, can you still use the adhesive on the back glass or do you need new adhesive?

[noobiewatcherz]

Yep, in my head i compared how much time used being annoyed by the clicking sound of my phone when i shake it VS time to get the tools and learn how to properly do this to open up phone before i get to my next phone .. Definitely gonna stay with the clicking sound .

Where do you get the razor blade plastic prying tool you said all the tools will be like down below I went to the tool section and didn't see that tool that's the one I'm looking for and there's additional videos with the big gray card it's about big as your hand I don't know if you know the name of that one it's another videos If where I can get that your video is very awesome it breaks down it perfectly I'm more than capable of doing that stuff done similar jobs but haven't worked on a phone in a while thank you for you can answer those questions pray video

I have a question.. can the back glass also have moist bubbles inside? Not sure if its moist bubbles but i see i have black spots that I cant remove with a cloth.

Do you have to replace camera lense cover

[powergi]

Does it lose water resistance if you ever do that?

I have a question about if through my s10+ against the wall hard enough it was hanging out the case and is now slightly bent on the power button side could there be any internal damage to like the mother board or battery speakers something like that? It has got super hot once but making me think my phone is toast now...

[zainali]

can we use foldback clip for fix the back glass?

And what if the cracks are near the bottom, where the charging port is? Suction cup won't hold then, so how would one apply the cup (assuming its not the cup itself that is the issue) so that it holds? The cracks would prevent a seal from forming.
