A good video for the basic operation - thank you! Here is some additional detail from my experience: -most replacement backs come pre-installed with new adhesive tape. If this is the case with your part, you will want to make sure to remove all the old sticky tape from the phone prior to installing the new part. -when removing the microphone it is necessary to do this carefully so that it comes up with its sticky tape attached. It will need this to stick down in the same location on the new part. -the same is true of the many other parts that should be transferred over - the little foam bezels around the camera lenses, and the diffuser over the flash aperture. Use your heat gun (carefully) to facilitate these removals. -there is a some sort of an opening near the lenses (vent? mic?) that has a fabric mesh over it. This is also secured with sticky tape...this proved more difficult to remove and re-stick but the process is the same. I ended up putting a drop of super glue, applied to its edge, to get it to stay positioned. I have no idea if this has ruined its water resistance or not. Honestly, I think the IP rating is out the window when doing work like this. The new adhesive on the back is not of similar quality to the OE stuff...it's thinner and not as spongy...it's bound to leak. So keep it out of the bathtub! -there are a couple of tiny, stiff foam pads that seem to be positioned around as a means to minimize flex of the glass back when it is squeezed. Move these over as well, using the same method. -lastly, there are several instances of very thin vinyl tape...some with a small RF shield attached. These can also be moved...but they are VERY flimsy...even thinner than plumber's tape...and are hard to deal with. I chose not to move these...primarily because there were no indexed locations on my new back to tell me exactly where they should go. So it would have been a guess on my part. I doubt these are critical to the functioning/performance of the phone but Samsung wouldn't bother with the time and effort to put them there if they didn't serve a purpose...

Thank you for this step by step instruction. I did this in just a few minutes

This video title is really misleading, you wrote "start to finish" but that's not exactly accurate since you reused the glue, didn't show how you reapplied the back mic, and left out some other key steps when it comes to a repair. Would've been nice to see a real start to finish with glue application, functionality testing, and waterproof testing. Basically all you did was loosen and reapply the original backplate.

I really like this kind of maintenance video, full of maintenance knowledge, please continue to pay attention! !

What glue do you use to put it back?

So you don't have to disconnect pr re-connect any parts?????

Will this be the same IP level or we can no longer dip it to water even for 5 sec?

My back plate is undamaged but my sims are stuck in. Will taking the back off help me be able to get them out at all?

I'm curious if the water resistance/proofing would be the same

Isopropyl alcohol it'll fall off (if you have replacement glue)
