Use this guide to replace a cracked or broken display on your Samsung Galaxy S8.
Note: This guide instructs you to replace only the display while leaving the original frame, motherboard, and battery in place. However, some replacement screens for this phone come pre-installed in a new frame (a.k.a. chassis), which requires a very different procedure—transplanting your phone's internals and installing a new battery. Make sure you have the correct part before starting this guide.
This guide involves removing the rear glass cover, you will need replacement adhesive to reattach the back cover to the phone. If your replacement screen does not come with adhesive, you will need to use tape to secure it as well.
If the frame is damaged or bent, it's important to replace it, or else the new screen may not mount correctly and can suffer damage from uneven pressure.
The process of separating the display from the frame usually destroys the display, so don't follow this guide unless you intend to replace the display.

-
Peel the adhesive backing off of the new rear glass, carefully line up one edge of the glass against the phone chassis, and firmly press the glass onto the phone.

If the phone's screen is cracked, the suction cup may not stick. Try lifting it with strong tape, or superglue the suction cup in place and allow it to cure so you can proceed.
-
Lift on the suction cup and insert an opening pick under the display assembly.

Did my first repair two days ago. If you've done any other samsung repairs such as S7 or S7E, this will be cake for you to do. If you have big fingers like I do, the most challenging thing will be the fingerprint scanner flex on the back glass, connecting and reconnecting.
I go about this repair a bit differently if I want to salvage the lcd. I remove the battery motherboard and sensors , and start through the opening in the frame under the battery. I drip isopropyl alcohol along the perimeter of the battery opening applying heat and work a playing card in between the LCD and the frame, loosening adhesive as I go.
I like the way you think.
Thank you. My utterly novice self ordered only the glass, thinking it would be moderately easy for a layman. I didn't realize the LCD was nearly permanently stuck to it, and don't have $190 to replace it. I'll try your way. Thanks!
Great guide, very accurate. Be very careful along the right side of the device, as it is very, very easy to shear the connector flex in half. To avoid any chance of damage, I remove the board and front camera/sensor flex. It's an easy job, and saves a massive headache if any parts are damaged. Overall quite a familiar phone to work on, if you've ever done any S6's and upwards.
