I cracked this top right corner because the camera cutout causes it to be more prone to cracking. Make sure to use heat in that corner, and spray some >90% isopropyl alcohol in there to loosen up the adhesive. I would do this corner last.

Actually, you don’t need to remove the loud speaker as long as you can do with 3 daughter board cables hanging off and distract a little bit, there is no effect with it bcoz the cable is flexible

Does the same method apply to Note 10+ as well ?
The method is similar but not identical. We will have Note10+ guides up within this month!
Would the phone still be water resistant?
Depending on adhesive you use to put back glass
For anyone thinking about doing this -
The screen on my wife’s Note 10 cracked. She lived with it for a little while, but of course the cracks spread and got worse over time. We decided to take a stab at fixing it ourselves.
From what I can tell, the instructions here are spot on. I was eventually able to fix the phone myself - looks brand new. You definitely don’t have to be a rocket scientist to do this - just some patience while you go through the steps.
My one regret is that I tried using a heat gun to soften the adhesive. While her screen was cracked, the LED display was still working. After using the heat gun, the LED display was no longer working - so I had to order a new one (they’re not cheap). At the time, I did not know about the iOpener. I would be very curious to give it a try. As long as it provides enough heat, it would probably work a lot better due to the increased control in heat application. For the price, it’s probably worth giving it a shot if you’re planning on doing this.
I only replaced the back glass, it’s the only one that is cracked, tho i already have the replacement for the middle frame, I got scared that i might brake the LCD (HAHA) but this guide is spot on
This is removing both the lcd and the screen correct?
If you are referring to a touch screen, it's not. This guide is for LCD/Digitizer assembly replacement.

Whilst removing the LCD of my note 10 I noticed i tore the s-pen flex ribbon cable. Is there an explanation on how to replace or repair that cable?. Is that even repairable?
