We have created this step-by-step guide for your Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus when you need to replace the screen or its back cover. You can also use it separately for replacing the back cover or the screen only. Another scenario may be that you have the pre-installed screen in the frame. In that case this guide will not be helpful. For a pre-installed screen you have to remove all the components from the frame except the screen and battery.
However during the process the screen will come out in two parts. The first one is the front glass which should not be damaged. And the other one is the display panel. This process for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus screen removal will destroy the screen. So don’t try if you are willing to reuse the old screen. Additionally if you accidentally cracked the front glass you will have to replace both the front glass and the display panel. When reassembling the back cover you will need adhesive to stick the back cover with the frame. With that said let’s get started with the process.

Step #1. Switch Off Samsung Galaxy S24+
* The first step we have to take toward Screen or back Glass replacement is to switch off the phone
* One thing also important is removing all the cables and wires from the phone such as charging cable or hands-free.

* When you see “power off” written on the screen, touch it and let the phone switch off completely.
Step #2. Apply Heat on the Right Edge Of the Back Glass
* We will start heating the back glass from the right edge.
* Heating will melt the adhesive between the back glass and the frame and the disassembling process quicker.
* Use a hair dryer or a heat gun to apply heat on the right edge. You have to use the hot plate too.
*Please avoid overheating. Internal parts and battery could get damaged.
Step #3. Place a Suction Handle

* Please make sure to place it as close to the center as possible.
* When you are satisfied with the right application please pull the suction handle with the steady force.
* Look for the line gap to insert the opening pick between the frame and the back cover.
* Do pull the cover with extra force. Apply more heat if this action is tough.
Step #4. Insert Opening Pick
* When you see enough gap has been created between the back glass and the frame you can insert an opening pick.
* Be careful to insert the pick too deep inside the back cover.
* Slide the pick pick to cut the adhesive from the right edge of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus.

Step #6. Slide The Opening Pick
* Now we can move with the opening pick sliding it toward the bottom right corner and cut the adhesive from there.
* Move ahead and keep cutting the adhesive.
* Slide the pick pick from the bottom edge and going through cutting the adhesive from the bottom left corner take the pick on the left edge side.
*Move the opening pick upward on the left edge of the Samsung Galaxy S24+ and take it to the top left corner.
* Now rotate the opening pick from the top left corner to separate it.
* Now your opening pick is on the top edge of the phone.
* Move the pick back and forth to separate the back cover from the top edge too.
* Don’t insert the opening pick too deep.
* Additionally you can use more than one opening pick for your ease. Leave your opening pick here.
Step #7. Separate The Rear Mic Adhesive
* You will find a square of adhesive around the rear microphone. So you need to be positioned just above the flash.
* Take an opening pick and align its tip with the flash.
* Gently slide the pick under the top part of the back cover. You will start to feel some resistance as it hits the adhesive.
* Slowly move the pick downward toward the bottom of the phone. As you go lift the cover slightly to loosen it from the adhesive.
* Keep lifting gently until the back cover completely separates from the adhesive.
*Carefully lift and remove the back cover.

Step #9. Unfasten Thirteen Screws From the Charging Coil and the Loudspeaker
* As you can see some part of the charging coil is pasted on the loudspeaker assembly.
* We will open the screws from the charging coil and loudspeaker that are located at the bottom of the phone.
* Use the Phillips screwdriver to open these 3.5 mm long thirteen screws.
* From these thirteen screws six screws are securing the wireless charging coil at the top side and seven screws are securing the loudspeaker at the bottom.

Note
* If the screen is damaged or badly cracked please don’t forget to apply packing tape for protecting yourself from the added glass.
* Apply the packing tape strips all over the screen.
* Make sure there is a smooth area on the screen when you can apply the Suction Handle.
* The gap between the front glass and the frame is really small. So you will need a thin and firm tool to create the first opening.
* Also keep these safety tips in mind as you remove the front glass. Don’t hold any sharp metal tools by their edges with your bare hands. They can easily cut you.
* The front glass might break and scatter tiny pieces. So wearing gloves and safety glasses is a good idea to keep yourself safe.

* However with the insert plastic opening pick you can move around all the edges and separting the front glass away from the display panel.
* You can also use a hair dryer or a heat gun to melt the adhesive until the screen gets enough warm if it is difficult to cut the Adhesive and sliding the pick along the adges.
* Completely peel the front glass.
Step #15. Remove the Front Glass
* At this stage we can lift the front glass with the help of fingers and remove it from the phone

Step #16. Remove the Display Panel
* Now insert an opening pick under the display panel.
* In this display removal procedure of you are having difficulty moving the pick under the display panel you can apply heat using a heat gun or a hair dryer. Heat will soften the adhesive.
* Keep sliding the opening pick along All the adges under the display panel to separate it from the frame.
* At the bottom edge of the display there are several components attached to the back.
* Gently insert your opening pick under these components.
* Be cautious as you slide the pick to avoid damaging anything under the display.
* Hold onto one corner of the display panel and slowly pull it away from the frame to release the remaining adhesive.
* To make removal easier slide an opening pick under the display to loosen any leftover adhesive. Please be sure not to damage the front camera.
