How to Replace Screen Glass Only on Galaxy S22/21/20/10/+/Ultra/Note Shown in 6 Mins/New DIY Method

[@renatatostada3318]

I just left a comment on the older guide, and I just gotta say it again: thank you so much for making an ACTUAL guide vs. the majority of the "guides" on KZbin that not only don't explain the process, but also don't explain what tools they are using. Thank you so much

[@ecdiy]

Thank you so much for your kind words! To be absolutely frank with you though, I can't take the credit for it as I partially benefit from spreading this knowledge. Also, it still has some ways to go as the repair is harder than it looks as mentioned in the video and many do find it to be difficult. I'd have to say curved Samsung phones are the most difficult compared to flat display phones and other makes. With the upcoming iPhone tutorials, I'm going to be a bit more giving in that I'm also going to show how to do the glass only replacement even without the tools & accessories we've developed. Any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us. Best regards,

great video, but went to order for my s22 ultra and used the discount code and says my selection does not qualify. Web Page displays discount code is good till 10/2. today is Sunday the 1st. not sure why.

[@Rakesh37187]

This is actually great. No clue why these kinds of repairs are less popular. Instead of paying 200 bucks for a completely new screen and completely replacing the oled and glass.

[@SuperMoni14]

Because it's not worth the time and the risk of potentially breaking the screen while just replacing the glass. So is more simple to just replace the screen instead

[@Rakesh37187]

@@SuperMoni14 Well looking more into it I've found lasers which specifically target the glue between the glass and screen. That should make this whole process a whole lot easier and the costs you save on just getting a new screen is quite significant.

Just bought s20 ultra kit a week ago. Just a quick question regarding the front camera part. Do i need to remove the Back cover and the Front Camera before applying the loca glue (does the kit include the sticker that wouldnt need me to remove the back).

[@ianhenriksen3385]

Just attempted this with my Pixel 4a 5g and ended up damaging the LCD in the process. The oca blade and wire technique worked great as far as I could tell. I'm not entirely sure what went wrong. The most likely culprit seems to be that the very bottom area of the screen has a slight overhang without any support from the rest of the phone. Unfortunately that's also right where the stiff material that forms the OLED panel is the weakest. There aren't any pixels there and the wiring appears unharmed, but a little bit of the material did chip off. Could also be excess heat or maybe damage from using too much isopropyl alcohol. Regardless, great tools. Thanks for the tutorial. Glad I at least attempted to save the OLED panel before ordering a new one.

[@ecdiy]

Hello Ian, Thank you for taking your time to comment. I am sorry to hear your experience did not go as smoothly as we have hoped. Would you by any chance have a photo of the display so we can take a look and see where it could have gone wrong? For Google Pixel phones, it is worth noting that the glass removal should be done with the display off the phone. Please kindly note that this is highlighted in our listing description section. You would place the display glass side down on the gel pad and use the wire tool. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further. Best regards,

@@ecdiy Thanks, yah I'll send a photo to the email listed on your website. Hopefully my mistake can help others. I totally missed that there were any changes to the process for pixel phones. What you're saying makes sense now. I'm a beginner to phone repair though, so it's not a big surprise that I didn't manage something tricky like this the first time. It just seemed like such a waste to throw out a perfectly good oled panel without trying to save it.

If a chunk of glass is missing from the lower left corner can you use this to your advantage? Possibly starting to separate the display glass from that point? This is on a galaxy s10 I can clearly see what I assumed be the next layer in the display. It is flexible...

It looks like you guys thought of nearly everything to make this repair as easy and successful as possible. I have 2 questions. Does the wire tool come with the kit? And how do I know how much LOCA to put on the display?

[@ecdiy]

Thank you for your kind words! We continue to improve the kit as well! More on this below but to answer your questions: Yes, the wire tool is included with the kit and the amount of LOCA required for the model is listed on our latest tips & tricks page the address to which we print on a slip included in each kit. The latest update to the kit is a clear camera hole cover film which all you'd need to do is press to seal over the camera hole area prior to gluing. This eliminates the need for back glass removal as well as the front camera removal. Currently, it is only being provided on a request basis at no extra cost and no negative feedback has been received. It is briefly featured in our Pixel how-to video as well as the latest Samsung shorts video, but we will be making a full video for this soon. With this, you wouldn't have to open the phone at all.

I'm looking to fit a new glass to my s10e. Watched your video(all good) but not sure about glue around the camera area. Can you clear that up for me. Keep up with the great videos. thanks

[@laptopstuff8886]

Sadly, even if you manage to get the glass off, the most proper way to put the nw glass on, is by luminating it with a machine (together with the phone of course. ) Two problems with the loca glue : 1- It will come loose eventually, and form bubbles . 2 - When you hold the phone up to the light, you can see that the glued surface has some waves (because the glue will not spill in a straight line. That would be hard to achieve).

[@threecubed3]

I think this repair is aimed towards the cost effectiveness rather than cosmetic perfection. Some ppl see this as an absolute win and some may not. Nonetheless, it is an option to fix cracked screens.

[@ChavezDIY]

Not true. You can definitely use LOCA glue and make it look good. I did it many years ago on a Galaxy Note 2. The trick with the glue was removing the screen from the phone and using a frame to keep the screen centered and then inserting the screen into a food saver bag. I used a small handheld food saver to remove all the bubbles and keep the screen flat on the glass. Then put it out in the sun for like 10 mins and it was good. There was some cleanup to do afterwards but It worked great.

Just wanted to leave a comment that I ordered this for my s10+ and gave it a try. I'm familiar with all other kinds of phone repairs but this is the one that's made me anxious the most. I busted my digitizer BUT it was my own fault. Like the start of the video mentions, it was not hot enough so I couldn't tell how/far the blade was fitting between the frame. I use the heat sticker but even then it's kinda tough using a blowdryer. I had full blast it directly on top to see it start changing colors, then rush to try and get in. If digitizers were more affordable, I'd love to give this another try!

[@Confidente-btc]

With glue do you use? B-7000?

[@ecdiy]

B-7000 is not optically clear, and it will not work for this application. We use the Stronghold LOCA. LOCA stands for Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive, there are several options but please kindly note many LOCAs require a separate UV lamp to cure. Ours is specially formulated to be hypersensitive to UV, so much so that exposure to daylight on a cloudy winter day is enough to cure the glue. Other parameters such as contractility, tensile strength and viscosity have all been fine tuned over the years for optimum results. Please note there are a few sellers infringing on our trademark, Stronghold LOCA is developed by us and is exclusive to us. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further. Best regards,

[@jimmy1556]

4:19 what do you mena by we need to remove the camera? My phone is s10 5g which has camera is under the screen as you explained. So does that mean that i will need to take the camera out and glue it, then put the camera back again? Im afraid if the glue will seep into the hole where i took the camera off.. Also, in 4:45, u said put two drops of the glue on the other side of the camera, but as I explained above, after taking the camera out, wouldn't glue would seep into the motherboard? Lastly, the ip 68 tape you have developed, explained in 4:29, do I keep it on and glue the glass on the display, or do I take it off before I put the glass?

[@ecdiy]

While we finished developing a camera hole film cover for other phones, we do not have it for S10 5G at the moment so yes, in your case you would remove the back to remove the front camera prior to gluing as shown in our video. Due to the surface tension and cohesive force of the glue, sometimes the glue can indeed fill around the camera hole without going in there (you'd want to dispense a small droplet or two around the far side of the opening - like shown in this video and our iPhone 14 Pro ). However, as this doesn't happen every time, so we recommend just removing the back glass and the camera prior to gluing. If any glue gets on the underside of the front camera area, you'd use isopropyl alcohol and Q-tip to clean the underside prior to assembling. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further. Have a great rest of the day.

[@jimmy1556]

​​@@ecdiy for 4:45, can i use B7000 glue for adhesive instead? How do you think about the OCA adhesive film? Do you think it will make the process easier?

[@ecdiy]

Hey, so sorry. For some reason I did not receive a notification when you replied. No, B-7000 is not optically clear, nor is it spec'd for this repair otherwise. OCA adhesive film does make it easier for Samsung phones but OCA does require special equipment such as a laminator which uses heat and vacuum, and a bubble remover which uses heat and positive pressure. When it comes to iPhones and Pixels though, I'd say LOCA is easier and beginner friendly. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us. Best regards,

[@fxhim7]

What type of glue is required?

[@ecdiy]

Hello Fahim, Thank you for your comment! It is called LOCA. The brand we use is Stronghold.

[@Francisco-ssh]

Is the oca blade reusable or is it done after one repair ?

[@ecdiy]

The OCA blade is indeed re-usable. Using it with the wire tool as shown here, it would be good for many devices (easily over a dozen). Please do kindly note that, pushing it when there is not enough heat can cause the tool to flex and when this happens many times, the tool can experience this thing called metal fatigue and slowly start losing its effectiveness. When used properly, you can easily do 3~4 devices with 1 OCA blade even with the OCA blade only method. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further.

Yes, you should put the camera back after the gluing. However, we have finished developing a clear cover film for the camera hole for most of the newer Samsung phones so gluing no longer requires the phone to be disassembled. You'd just need to center the film and press it to seal against the screen prior to gluing so the glue cannot get on it. For now, this new accessory is being included only on a request basis.

Hello, nice video. I have an a52 with a cracked screen. The new glass already has oca-glue(says the discription). Should i also use the glue you use and why? Regards

[@ecdiy]

Technically, pre-installed OCA can be stacked with LOCA. Even if the OCA were to make contact with the glass somewhere before the LOCA, LOCA will fill up to the area seamlessly. This additional thickness does not cause touch issues even with a tempered glass screen protector. That's been my finding on my end at least.

I had a question regarding the front camera removal. I saw that in order to remove the camera, there are several components I have to remove in order to be able to access it. This means that I would have to disassemble it, remove the camera, reassemble, glue front glass, then go through the steps to insert the camera in again? Is the camera removal strictly necessary? Also I saw in another video that there is adhesive I need to cut through in order to physically remove the camera. Does the kit include said adhesive as well? Sorry about the essay I'm making you read!

[@ecdiy]

Hello, Thank you for taking your time to comment! I apologize for the delay in my response. Yes, for an S20 Ultra, you'd want to remove the front camera prior to gluing. We do include the IP68 back glass tape adhesive with the kit which is the adhesive that needs to be sliced to open the phone. As for the steps involved, you would want to remove the front glass first, then the back glass (You can use the back of the OCA blade for slicing the tape adhesive), remove the front camera, do the gluing process then re-assemble using the new tape adhesive included in the kit. Is it strictly necessary? That depends on whether you want the front camera to be as clear as before. Removal of the front camera is done prior to gluing on these phones because the glue would flow into the hole for the camera. The phone will function fine regardless. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us! I'm happy to help. Best regards,

[@ecdiy]

Hello Kalman, Thank you for sharing your experience. I am very sorry to hear that it did not go as smoothly as we had hoped. As our business started with the aim of providing affordable screen replacements, receiving feedback from customers who encounter difficulties is something we take seriously. It motivates us to continue innovating and making repairs easier. Would you be willing to share with us where things went wrong? This information could be helpful in assisting others to avoid similar situations. We may offer to issue you a full refund even though some of the items have been used. However, I would like to note that while the tools may differ, the fundamental concept behind our kit is essentially the same as what you find in other repair videos on KZbin. The gel pad, sticker thermometer and a hairdryer/heat gun are substitutes for the heated suction pad machine used by others. We understand that having that equipment can be more efficient. Although refurbishing a screen is a lot more delicate process, it can be compared to assembling furniture with a screwdriver instead of a drill. The only thing that differs is the initial separation. You may see others using a rotary tool to cut the glass around the corners to initiate the glass separation with the wire tool. This not only means an additional equipment is required, but in my opinion it's also not something that can be done successfully without training. With our method, the OCA blade is curled up and leaned back so that the tip is touching the underside of the glass and heat is applied to soften the adhesive holding the glass to the OLED thereby allowing the initial separation to take place as mentioned in the video. If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us.

Would it be the same process as removing the front by using the blade? If I ordered the s10 front glass repair kit, does it include everything required to remove the back glass?

[@ecdiy]

Hello Steven, Thank you for your comment! The process for the back glass is simpler than the front glass as the adhesive is only along the edges. You can use the sharper corners on the back of the blade to slice through the adhesive layer and remove the back glass. The kit does indeed include everything required to remove the back glass, as well as a new back glass tape adhesive to re-install the back glass. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further. Best regards,

[@themasterchief]

what kind of glue did you use bro? because I see that you didnt use a pressure machine or another machine to eliminate possible buubles in the screen

[@BoricuaRD1]

Hey ECDiy just an ideas! If you could have a background picture of the glue application so people can trace the application would be really helpful!

[@ecdiy]

This is actually a really neat idea! Because it's not too difficult to spread the glue using the method outlined in the video, I hadn't put too much thought into the exact pattern of the glue dispensing but I'm sure it exists. I will look into it further. Thank you for the suggestion!

How would you go about getting a new digitizer, I thought I saw the glass clearly, but turns out I didn't and separated the Digitizer/Touch Panel ( 1:34 ). The LCD/AMOLED is still intact, I just need the digitizer I guess.

For any display issues including touch issues, unfortunately you'd need to replace the display as a whole. Replacing the glass layer will not resolve the issue. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further. Best regards,

Is the glass you're selling the same one used in the S10+? (Corning Gorilla Glass 6)

[@ecdiy]

We purchase our glass as originals, but to our understanding, it is not possible to confirm that it is indeed Gorilla glass even with a spectroradiometer and the brand does not participate in authenticating parts nor do they sell the glass part on their own. Our glass is made of aluminosilicate glass which is technically speaking, what Gorilla glass is but what also makes it difficult to confirm is that between different generations of Gorilla glass, it's not just the chemical composition that has changed, but the manufacturing process that reduces defects. (All glass products, like diamonds, have tiny microscopic defects). However, we have done various tests including break tests to know that our glass is comparable to the original take-off. Most glasses found online these days are soda lime glass, or low iron soda lime glass made to look like aluminosilicate glass and there is a big price difference. If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards,

[@ramelband]

Do you have a kit for the s20 fe 5g?

[@mhale71]

Hi, I understand removing the front facing camera before gluing the new glass on, so that the glue doesn't dribble onto the lens. But isn't glue just gonna dribble into the void left by the removed camera?, and also dry in that position on the glass, causing focus problems when we re assemble? Or do we dab the camera hole with iso on a cotton tip? But then wouldn't that eat the glue and wick into the glue? Also, I don't get the point of the stickers? We put them on the display, then glue the glass over the top, then try and pull them out after the glue is spread? I noticed the new camera spot things in the new vid and I don't get if that is the intention with them too? Thanks

[@ecdiy]

Typically, yes you would need to clean the underside of the camera hole area with a Q-tip and isopropyl alcohol. However, we have finished developing a clear camera hole cover film which all you'd need to do is press to seal over the camera hole area prior to gluing. This eliminates the need for back glass removal as well as the front camera removal! We have been providing it on a request basis at no extra cost for the past 4 months and no negative feedback has been received! As for the stickers, it ensures dust/debris/water do not seep in to the internals. The internals are sealed from under the display on the sides on all phones via IP68 tape adhesive (Some phones the top is sealed from the underside also) You do not pull them out after the glue is spread. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further! Have a great rest of the day.

[@mhale71]

Thankyou!, so you leave the stickers in place then? They won't be visible through the glass? And we leave the camera dot as well? I think I understand now. I got my kit off you before you started doing that and I haven't bit the bullet yet because I was busy in summer but planning on attempting soon, I need to remove the back glass anyway because that is broken.

[@ecdiy]

@@mhale71 That is correct. The stickers stay in place. They are placed behind the bezel (the black border of the front glass) so it is not visible. The camera dot, yes that is correct. you would leave it in there. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further! I am here to help. Have a great rest day.

[@jamesnesbit7450]

When you take the back plate off, don't you need to replace the adheasive in order to retain the waterproofing of the phone?

[@ecdiy]

That is correct. We do include a spare IP68 back glass tape adhesive with every kit for this reason. However, we have finished developing a clear camera hole cover film which all you'd need to do is press to seal over the camera hole area prior to gluing. This has been briefly shown in the S22 shorts video as well as the Pixel long form video but this eliminates the need for back glass removal as well as the front camera removal. Currently, it is only being provided on a request basis at no extra cost and no negative feedback has been received. With this, you wouldn't have to open the phone at all. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further. Best regards,

Hello. Im a little confused about gluing the screen, specifically camera on an S10, you said "dispense 2 drops on the OTHER side of the camera" should i just do like you did and glue the camera or is there more?

[@ecdiy]

You would typically do it just like I did and dispense a couple droplets of glue on the other side (other side being the opposite sound of where the glue would spread from) However, we have finished developing a clear camera hole cover film which all you'd need to do is press to seal over the camera hole area prior to gluing.

We did not go in detail with the back glass removal as they're relatively straight forward and there are quite a few videos covering that topic extensively.

What about a Samsung Galaxy A71, does the front camera need to be removed?

Hello Danielle, Yes & no. Yes because on the A71, the camera area is a physical hole in the display panel. No because we finished developing the clear circle film that sticks to the display without adhesive. This would be featured in a new video (But it's briefly shown at the end of our Pixel video). This film being installed prior to the gluing would prevent the glue from going on the camera lens. We're happy to include this free of charge with your purchase if you happen to be interested.

Can you please show how to remove the front facing camera in s20/s21 etc. that is needed when replacing the front glass?

[@ecdiy]

Hello Steven, Thank you for your comment. It is definitely something I am considering for the future, but we just might be able to eliminate the need for front camera removal altogether! In the new Pixel video that will be uploaded in a few hours, the new accessory that would allow for this would be revealed. Spoiler alert: It's probably going to be one of those 'oh man that was so obvious' moments. For now though, I'd say take a look at one of the 'teardown' videos on KZbin, there are a few for each model and most explain the process pretty well.

hi, i saw you using Paper towel and Isopropyl alcohol to wipe the inner screen, does that not scratch the phone badly ? Paper towel is abrasive isn't it. Because actually i wiped my s20 ultra (the glass) and it has a lot of fine scratches from it ( spiral pattern ) as i wiped it spirally ... I found paper towel scratches more compared to just using cotton shirt. Sometimes with IPA , sometimes water

[@ecdiy]

Hello, Thank you for your comment. I haven't noticed this being an issue personally. You mentioned the paper towel scratched the glass, but it may have just been smudges being spread around. A clean cloth is indeed really good for picking up the last bit of smudges as well. We do include microfiber cloth for the final wipes but until that point, have not had an issue with paper towel.

You can use the kit with dry ice and freeze the display instead but please note that when it comes to freezing, there is definitely a learning curve with it. I know in videos it seems like once you freeze it, you can just twist/pop it off but it is a very delicate process nonetheless. There is a good video that explains about the downsides of freezing.

[@legitlegal4251]

Does at the normal s22 also need to remove the camera

[@ecdiy]

We do have a camera hole cover film that you can place over the camera hole before gluing so the glue doesn't get on there. This is briefly shown in our latest Samsung shorts, and explained fully in our Pixel video. However, a new tip I can share is that flat screen S22/S21, you can actually detach the display off the frame without disconnecting the flex cable by submerging the screen (not the entire phone) in 99% isopropyl alcohol for 8 hours. The screen lifts enough to fit a Q-tip between the screen and the frame, which you can use to clean the underside of the glass. Under the phone's own weight alone, the adhesion strength returns as the alcohol fully evaporates. I haven't timed exactly when this happens but I have been leaving them overnight glass side down after the repair is done. Most likely not as strong as factory original, but strong enough to not be pulled off even with a large suction cup.
