Hi Everyone, I'm sure there are a lot of us out there that feel that ifixit skimped on explaining exactly what went into removing the Nexus S Bezel...So anyone who knows what to do get it off...please explain in the finest detail possible please!!!
Google search ns teardown
Editt
nvr mind u did
U remove back screws then pull on the left and right part of side bezel and once they separate/unlock you can pull the back (with little force)that's as far S i got because I only had to reseat speaker cable.
Maybe ifitit will become easier to understand after that....think u have yo pretty much dissemble the whole phone to remove it
Also try searching YouTube might be a tutorial

I'm just wondering if anybody was curious enough (and maybe brave enough ) to try tearing down their new Captivate yet? I started, figured out that if you lift in the middle of the battery lock as you pull out, you can slide it a bit further than normal, exposing the remaining two of the six screws on the back of the device.
However, I was unable to separate the back from the front, and gave up because I didn't want to force it and chance breaking my phone. I think there might be another screw underneath the sticker in the battery cavity, but I'm not certain.
Ok, scratch that, there is NOT another screw underneath the sticker. I just peeled it back a little to check. Theres one small hole where it feels like there might be a screw, but its just a hole
I am tempted to press on, I'd like to get some pictures of the internal hardware so that we can figure out what this does or does not have, (FM Radio -> I'm lookin at you!)
It definitely looks to be the same basic PCB structure as the Galaxy S i9000. I just which I could get the back cover off without feeling like I'm going to break my phone.
EDIT: I made a little progress, got the back *mostly* separated from the phone. All but one latch at the top of the phone that appears to be very stubborn. I'm not sure if there's an adhesive there or just a stubborn latch, but I can't get it out.
EDIT 2: Got it!!! Its open now, will post pics of its innards soon..
looking forward to finding out if the fm-radio is possible, was mad after i found out att had disabled it, but if the chip is still there then there's hope

I'm not entirely sure which chip to be looking for, but I've got a few pictures up, the quality may not be enough to work out what chips are or are not present, I'm going to work on getting ahold of a better camera, hopefully tomorrow, to get some clear pictures of the board.

Were you able to locate the internal SD card? Any signs that it may be replaceable for, say, a 32GB? Or is it soldered on?
it definitely looks to be soldered on. There is what looks to be a samsung flash chip...
Hi!

looks like you don't understand the word "disassemble". It is the opposite of "assemble" i,e. to break down the thing apart. to remove the inner parts separately. It's nothing to do with going back to original ROM.
If I'm not wrong, this guy has two spoiled XT720 sets which he want to take out and put together as a good one.

I just want to replace digitalizer from my LCD because right part of touchscreen isn't working on my XT
ehhhhh sorry, bad translation from google translate jejeje
O yes, i'm interested in this topic, i want to see some information about disassemble guide. I hope some one have it.
mainly you need to unscrew 6 screws. here's the list
-beside camera lens, covered with rubber cap.
-under 8.0 Xenon label.
- two screws above battery. (visible when you remove the battery cover)
- two screws partially hidden under speaker grills. (also need to remove battery cover to see)
the most difficult part will be the two at the bottom under that speaker grills. You'll need to remove the speaker grills to be able to remove the screws and it can be damaged in the process.
Did someone allready managed to get a disassembly guide in his hands? I just dropped my XT last night, and the camera doesnt work now any more. I purchased my one in Germany but I´m in Australia for half a year now and dont think that the repair centers can help me here, as this phone has never been released in Australia.
Hi,friends, I recently open my phone to remove dust from front camera, fot that I had searched a lot and with the help of below comments I have got many thing to know about the phone hardware. I have found many manual for our phone which can help u on hardware base and may be software,too. So I am attaching the manual below.
Let me tell u that I am providing this manuals so if u want to mess your phone, you can open it with help of it. However decision of opening the phone will be only yours, i will not be responsible for damaged caused to your phone. If u are having warranty than then the best way to visit service center only(Advisory). After all choice will be yours...
I am not expert of hardware. I am just sharing the manuals that can help you. How ever u can post your questions based on hardware and person who will have solution will reply. I request to reply who has solution.
It may help u to open the phone.
Will be back with some more manuals.
Here down my problem was...
Hi, friends. I have got dust in front camera of my phone. It had happened three three months before also, but at that time had got it done as only two day of warranty were there. But now it has happened again. So I thought to try to open my phone. I opened seven screws from back side. But i can not open inner back cover as volume button and lock button are attached with it through holes. So need help if anyone have tried before and have opened the phone before. I searched on google also to find proper answer but i didn't get. I found manual of our phone but there was nothing about hardware. If i can open inner back cover and can remove dust by my self. I think if i can solve it by my self and don't have to pay money to sammy as i find that they some times take much money. So if anyone can help here before I need to go to sammy.
Search google disassembly of galaxy S GT 9000

Theres dust in your front cam glass means your touch screen glass has slightly come off near the front cam. Try to just pull out a little bit.. N insert a ear bud... Yess a ear bud to wipe the dust off. And then a couple of adhesive drops will stick the screen back.
It had happened to me.. N this is what i did.

@nitinvaid:- Thanx, typing "disassembling galaxy sl i9003" helped me a lot. Even i got all types of maual for hard-ware and soft ware base. Almost every stuff related with our phone both hardware and software....
@chinmay_7d:- I didn't get this "your touch screen glass has slightly come off near the front cam"... I cleared the dust with ear buds..
After all I did it my self. However it is quiet risky and one needs to be very care-full. One can brick his\her phone and divide it into little stone. I got one little crack on inner back cover but i will solve it and i got an ic loose which i had to attach with tap and cotton. However i got to know very much about the spar-parts. I am think of making this thread base on hardware help with all manuals available.....What do u say guys??? Should I or not.

Hey guys my screen has been broken brutally.. My younger brother just threw it away!
So the touch doesnt work now but i guess everything else is fine. The volume and power buttons work fine. But the tough or the capactive buttons dont respond.
From what i have researched since the touch and the lcd are glued both will have to be replaced together. So i researched and found an estimate of 65$ for a new digitizer + LCD. Now the problem is even if i order the tough and lcd i dont know how to fix it. I saw the ifixit teardown but dont really understand much since there are no detailed steps in it.
I am not going to repair it myself, will repair it from a local repairer but i am pretty sure around here people dont even know what this phone is, so i dont wanna risk directly handing over it to them. If anyone of you all could guide me with a step by step procedure it would be a greattt help! Please help me guys want a good solution for this precious phone!
P.S i dont wanna send it to Oneplus since only the shipping would cost me around 100$ and 100$ more for the screen replacement.
and please dont advice about how i should have taken better care! I had applied a nilkin tempered glass protector but since it hit the wall at the sides it dint really help!
I should have had a case! </3 i was on my way to buy one
Step 1: Open The Back cover
Step 2. Remove the screws
Step 3: ...... please guide me about how to proceed with detaching the screen.
i would b glad to share one of my sharable invites with you if you help me with it or a video would be just paradise! :good:

Where do you found LCD + digitizer for only 65$??
The less expansive i've found is on ali and it's around 125$...
I'm interested too as i broke my oneplus as you did... Except it wasn't my little brother who thrown it away, it was only me letting it down to the floor...
I think, about the procedure shown in ifixit, it is doable fixing the broken screen... It just seems to ask proper tools ans patience... And a heat gun... (Or hair dryer!!)
Procedure?

ifixit doesnt show any procedure.. m pretty sure you dont need to go through the first 19 steps before you an finally dettach the screen. As far as i know most of the steps mentioned in the middle are not required. So i want someone to assist me with the required steps.
heat gun? i dont think its needed that would be needed if the digitzer and lcd were seprate. Since thats not the case it should be even easier. Oh yes we need the right tools but i guess a local repairer would have them anyway. i would just want the procedure so i could guide him since he wont know about the procedure, about this specific device
I got the 65$ one from ali express too,
go to the site and search for oneplus one digitizer. There are a list of options. Cant post links!

I don't think that you will find someone who can help you. You will need detailed instructions and images, and I don't think anyone has documented a thorough disassembly yet. You can check on YouTube, it's been a while since I've checked myself. I did disassemble one of my OnePlus One's a few weeks ago because the motor was malfunctioning, but instead of trying to fix it I simply returned it for a refund.
I just need to know how is the screen attached

i dont wanna know all the steps. I just wanna know how is the screen attached. I think it should over all be pretty standard for all phones. So should not be much stress for a local repairer. And from what i have read when the digitizer + lcd are glued it is a very easy job to replace them together. I just want to be sure from my side that say the screen needs to be attached the same way that a Galaxy S2 display is attached to the phone. Then i can just ask the repairer if he would have known how to repair a GSII.
I really cant ship it back to OPO its gonna be almost as much expensive as buying a new One!

Did you only buy the digitizer? You should have bought the screen and digitizer that are already fused. It is absurdly difficult to take off only digitizer and broken glass cleanly. Believe me, I've been repairing things all my life and this is one of the hardest things to fix.

I haven't bought it yet. But dont worry i will b buying the digitizer and the LCD that are already fused together.
But even attaching to the phone is also kind of a challenge right?
guys,
Anyone please suggest regarding how durable and trustworthy are these digitizer +lcd combo that are available on ebay.in?
Can i purchase them? I broke the screen badly and waiting for a replacement. Found a replacement on ebay.in for apprx 100$. Thats fine with me but need suggestions from users who already tried using these screens...? can i go ahead and get it done from a repair shop?
Hi, is there a tutorial for when you buy the full screen assembly from aliexpress, this one:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Bran...or-OnePlus-ONE-free-shipping/32261491537.html
And dont need to do all the heating/separating stuff? Planning on replacing my broken OPO screen tonight but I cannot find a single tutorial that doesn't completely disassemble the phone into its component parts then goes messing around with the hot air gun like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/repair-guide-oneplus-one-disassembly-t2979351
Anybody know what Im talking about? I just want to swap the screens...
With the way the phone is designed, especially how the connectors connect to the motherboard, I'm afraid there isn't an easier way of replacing the screen. But that's not to say replacing the screen yourself is difficult, there are many videos that explain what to do:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRQW666skQQ this is the one I found most useful, and helped me replace my screen.
If you don't feel confident enough to replace it yourself, for the peace of mind it may be worth paying someone else to do it.
