    • While Pulling on the suction cup, slide a thin plastic spacer (guitar picks work well) between the back cover and the phone. Slide it around the edges to break the adhesive seal. Be careful, but don't be afraid to use some force. You should hear a sticky breaking sound.

    • Remove the back cover by pulling it from the chassis. it is flexible and can be bent, be careful.

  5. YVIoIPypmnEItb2X
    • Near the bottom of the phone, unscrew the two phillips head screws, one 3 millimeters and the other 4 millimeters,

    • Remove the black plastic strip to reveal the speaker assembly. It is hooked underneath the circuit board beneath, force will be required to pry it out. Carefully unplug the microphone connector as you do this, ensuring not to snap it.

    which one is which :sss

    • Remove the Metal LCD assembly cover by lifting up and pulling it out away from the edge of the phone, towards the middle. Disconnect the LCD connector. The assembly cover is flexible and can be bent, be careful when applying force. Carefully unstick the connector from underneath the LCD cover

    How many pins does the display cable have ?

    • Removing the screen is similar to how the back cover is removed.

    • Apply heat evenly to the screen

    • attach a suction cup near the top of the phone, and use a plastic spacer to break the adhesive seal between the screen and the phone housing. Twisting the spacer can help to separate the back plate from the chassis.

    • Remove the screen by pulling it away from the chassis

When your screen is completely shattered it's not so easy to apply the suction cup and pulling it off... :D

Stick a layer of parcel tape on the screen and you're good to go :D

Once the screen is removed, how do you glue the new one back on? What kind of glue to use so it doesn't melt, or leave the phone non-waterproof? How best to clean the surfaces for gluing, what tools do you need? How do you ensure the edges stay clean and good looking? This guide leaves the job half done :/

I think nobody here can say for sure if it is waterproof after a manual repair ..... An the most covers (Front and back cover) comes with "glue-tape" ( not sure if it is the correct word for that)

There is this very clever (safe) trick to test: https://techjeep.com/2015/03/08/how-to-t...

Be aware that the LCD is extremely fragile. I have done this many times and it took some time for me to understand why when I tested the screen before installation it was perfect. Then when I glued it and had put some pressure on it to stay fit, I ended up with a defective screen. Be ultra carefull when you press the screen into place. Only press on the very edges! Or else you easily damage the LCD. I have tested both cold and hot adhesive and both make a good fit. They say the adhesive that needs heat can make the device waterproof but I would not even try to get the device waterproof again. You just have to accept that maybe some spill-proof, but nobody can guarantee the Z phones will ever be waterproof when you have opened them, removed seals for camera etc. I always tell my customers that.
