  1. Samsung Galaxy S10e Dual Rear Camera Replacement, Eject the SIM/Micro SD tray: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Samsung Galaxy S10e Dual Rear Camera Replacement, Eject the SIM/Micro SD tray: crwdns2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0
    • Insert a SIM card eject tool, bit, or a straightened paperclip into the small hole in the SIM card tray.

    • If you accidentally inserted the SIM eject tool into a different hole, don’t worry! You most likely haven’t damaged anything.

    • Press firmly to eject the tray.

  2. Samsung Galaxy S10e Dual Rear Camera Replacement, Remove the SIM/Micro SD tray: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Samsung Galaxy S10e Dual Rear Camera Replacement, Remove the SIM/Micro SD tray: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0
    • Pull the tray straight out to remove it.

  3. Samsung Galaxy S10e Dual Rear Camera Replacement, Heat the back cover: crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0
    • Opening your phone will compromise its waterproof seals. Have replacement adhesive ready before you proceed, or take care to avoid liquid exposure if you reassemble your phone without replacing the adhesive.

    • Turn your phone off completely before you begin this repair.

    • Prepare an iOpener and heat the back of the phone along the right edge for about two minutes. This will help soften the adhesive securing the back cover.

    • You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener several times to get the phone warm enough. Follow the iOpener instructions to avoid overheating.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the OLED display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

  4. Samsung Galaxy S10e Dual Rear Camera Replacement, Prepare to slice the adhesive: crwdns2935265:04crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Samsung Galaxy S10e Dual Rear Camera Replacement, Prepare to slice the adhesive: crwdns2935265:04crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0
    • In the following steps, you'll be cutting through the adhesive securing the back cover.

    • The adhesive is laid out as seen in the first image, which shows the inside of the cover after it has been removed.

    • As seen from the outside of the phone, you'll be slicing through the adhesive in the highlighted areas.

    • The adhesive is the thinnest on the right side of the phone, just below the Bixby button.

  5. Samsung Galaxy S10e Dual Rear Camera Replacement, Secure a suction cup: crwdns2935265:05crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0 Samsung Galaxy S10e Dual Rear Camera Replacement, Secure a suction cup: crwdns2935265:05crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:02crwdne2935265:0
    • Secure a suction cup to the back cover, as close to the heated edge as possible, just under the Bixby button where the adhesive is thinnest.

    • The suction cup will not make a good seal on the curved portion of the glass, so avoid putting it on the very edge.

    • If the phone's back cover 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.

  6. Samsung Galaxy S10e Dual Rear Camera Replacement, Create an opening gap: crwdns2935265:06crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Samsung Galaxy S10e Dual Rear Camera Replacement, Create an opening gap: crwdns2935265:06crwdnd2935265:02crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0 Samsung Galaxy S10e Dual Rear Camera Replacement, Create an opening gap: crwdns2935265:06crwdnd2935265:03crwdnd2935265:03crwdne2935265:0
    • Prop up the heated edge of the phone on something that is about 0.5 inches (13 mm) thick. This will angle the phone so that the opening tool is easier to insert.

    • Lift the back cover's right edge with your suction cup, opening a slight gap between the back cover and the frame.

    • This may require a significant amount of force. If you have trouble, apply more heat to further soften the adhesive, and try again. The adhesive cools very fast, so you may need to heat it repeatedly.

    • If you're using an iOpener, follow the heating instructions to avoid overheating it, or the gel pack may burst.

    • Press the edge of an opening tool into the gap.

    • The rear glass can break if you use too much force or attempt to pry with metal tools.

    • Insert an opening pick near the top right corner of the phone and slide it around the corner and across the top edge of the phone.

    • Follow this guide to reinstall the back cover and replace the adhesive.

    • Be sure to turn on your phone and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing the phone.

    • If desired, you may reinstall the back cover without replacing the adhesive. Remove any large chunks of adhesive that might prevent the back cover from sitting down flush. After installation, heat the back cover and apply pressure to secure it. It won't be waterproof, but the leftover adhesive is usually more than strong enough to hold.

Great guide! Reinstalling the mb was a little wonky with more pressure to put back into place than I would like haha

SchoobyDoo - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

After following this guide and replacing the camera, opening the default Camera app gives "Warning: Camera Failed" and forces it closed. The camera will still work in other apps (Snapchat, Facebook, even downloaded a 3rd party Camera app, etc.) but not on the default app. Attempted to reset app settings, permissions, and booted into safe mode. Could not update because no update was available. Did everything short of factory resetting the phone. Nothing will get the default Camera app to load, despite the cameras working well.

Anyone have any ideas as to a solution?
