Use this guide to remove and replace the screen assembly including the frame of the Motorola Moto E4 Plus.
Before you begin, download the Rescue and Smart Assistant app to backup your device and diagnose whether your problem is software or hardware related.
While this guide is written with the XT1771 model, you can also use this guide for other Moto E4 Plus variants, such as XT1772, and XT1773.
Before disassembling your phone, discharge the battery below 25%. If your battery is swollen, do not heat your phone. Swollen batteries can be very dangerous, so wear eye protection and exercise due caution, or take it to a professional if you're not sure how to proceed.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

Bonjour cher ami
Grace a vous je me suis lancé dans le remplacement de mon ecran explosé par le passage d’un véhicule. j’ai suivi vos explications a la lettre dans le démontage et pour le remontage aussi vous n’avez pas signalé de récupérer le revêtement de cuivre, j’ai réussi de le décoller en chauffant. Tout fonctionne comme avant.
Merci de ce tuto. Félicitations.
Thanks for your comment. Glad to hear you could get it back to working conditions. Welcome to the club of fixers.
