OnePlus 8 Rear Glass Replacement

Do not risk heat damage to the display and internal battery.

• Power off your phone and unplug any cables.
• Apply a heated iOpener to the rear glass for two minutes.
• Alternatively, use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate with caution.

Apply a suction handle to the center of the bottom edge of the rear glass.

If your display is badly cracked, cover it with clear packing tape to help the suction cup adhere.

• Alternatively, use very strong tape instead of a suction cup.
• If necessary, superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force to create a gap between the rear glass and frame.

Insert an opening pick into the gap.

Insert the opening pick into the bottom right corner of the device.

• Slice the adhesive with a gentle prying motion.
• Leave the opening pick in place to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

Insert another opening pick under the bottom edge of the rear glass, into the gap you just made.

• Slide this new opening pick to the bottom left corner to cut through the adhesive.
• Leave it in place at the bottom left corner to stop resealing.

Reheat the iOpener and apply it for two minutes to soften the adhesive if slicing is difficult.

• Insert a third opening pick under the bottom left corner of the rear glass.
• Slide the opening pick up the left edge to slice the adhesive.
• Leave the opening pick in place at the top left corner to prevent resealing.

• Insert a fourth opening pick at the top left corner of the rear glass.

• Be cautious not to let adhesive reseal around the pick.

• Slide the opening pick along the top edge to cut the adhesive.
• Leave the opening pick in the top right corner to maintain access.

Insert a spudger into the top right corner of the rear glass.

• Work the spudger down the right edge, slicing the remaining adhesive.

Remove the rear glass.

• If stuck, slide an opening pick around the perimeter until separated.

After reassembly: Apply strong, steady pressure for several minutes to ensure adhesive bond.

• Secure rear glass with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided tape during reassembly.
