OnePlus Nord Rear Glass Replacement
Replace only with OEM-approved parts and following official guidelines to avoid damaging the display or touchscreen functionality.
- Begin by purchasing a replacement rear glass specifically designed for the OnePlus Nord, along with the necessary adhesive.
Step 1 | Loosen the rear glass adhesive
Do not touch any sensitive components — risk of thermal damage.
- Switch off your phone completely.
- iOpener: Heat it up to loosen the rear glass adhesive. Apply for at least two minutes, ideally at 45°C with a heatbed or repeat several times.
- Alternatively, use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate but be careful not to overheat: the AMOLED display and internal battery are susceptible to damage.
Step 2 | Create a gap
Apply a suction cup to the back of the phone near the top-right corner.
- Pull on the suction cup to create a gap between the rear glass and the frame.
- Insert an opening pick into the gap.
Step 3 | Slice the adhesive
Slide the opening pick to the bottom right corner along the edge.
Leave the opening pick in place to prevent resealing of adhesive.
- Insert an opening pick as needed, then remove suction cup if desired.
- Continue using suction cup for better grip during this process.
Step 4
Insert a second opening pick under the bottom right corner.
- Slide it along the edge to the top right corner.
- If needed, use the iOpener again to soften the adhesive.
Leave the opening pick in place to prevent resealing of the adhesive.
Step 5
Insert an additional opening pick under the top right corner of the back cover.
- Slide the tip of the new opening pick along the edge towards the top left corner, carefully cutting the adhesive.
- Leave this opening pick in place to prevent resealing of the adhesive.
Step 6
Place the opening pick at the top left corner.
- Guide the pick along the edge to the bottom left corner, cutting the adhesive.
- Leave the pick in place to prevent resealing of the adhesive.
Step 7
Insert a fifth opening pick under the bottom left corner.
- Slide it along the edge to the bottom right corner.
- Continue sliding until you've cut the remaining adhesive.
Step 8 | Remove the back cover
Remove the back cover.
Allow 3-5 minutes for the adhesive to set before handling the device.
- Apply strong, steady pressure using a stack of heavy books
