just by how short this video was, it's fair to say that samsung seemingly make diy repairs alot easier than other companies
Don't discount Hugh Jeffrey's experience and expertise! I used to repair many devices, but I tip my hat to this man!
I've repaired a few phones like this as well, and I think LG did a good job with making their phones easy to repair. However, for better or for worse, LG doesn't make phones anymore.
Not really, he didn’t replace the screen only, he replaced the frame with the screen which is much easier and cost much more
Androids don't have unnecessary micro components like iPhones.
aphole = shit
I guess you probably know this, but even if you reset the phone with a hard reset ( 5:47 ) the previous account will still be on the phone just like iCloud lock. You can still remove it, but this can be quite tedious. I would recommend to go through the setup process to make sure you don't need to type in the previous owners Google account.
exactly. could also be the reason why he did not show the home screen because it is still asking for previous owners google account.
removing that usually takes 5-7 minutes lol) googles reset protection is a joke
@@mrfoxesite2000you can bypass it easily on samsung unlike iphone
@@koshkingdedamage how do you remove it
@@JaimeKing1989 there is a ton of videos on this topic on the web. The way I do it - using the keyboard settings to open privacy policy - open CZcams app from that webview and install corrupted Google services to simply add my account - old one disappears.
But this is a very old method, today there are a plenty of newer and faster ones
I find it really satisfying to watch restoration vids like this
It looks so effortless when you do these repairs! Great job!!!
Samsungs are effortless.
If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have wanted to start repairing electronics. I asked for an iFixit toolkit for Christmas and I’ve been working on iPhones. I had some decent screwdrivers I got with an iPhone 8 LCD and I’ve already repaired my friends screen and his girlfriends screen on their 2nd gen iPhone SE’s. I even replaced the battery in my old iPhone 8 and multiple screen replacements
Edit: PS, best regards from the US
I used to fix my phone myself since s4 mini not that I destroy them a lot but if they are problematic I can fix them. Recently I fixed my pixel 6 pro back glass and I had to remove the front screen too for nfc and charging coil but when I reinstalled it I had left a glass shard right behind the screen long story short there is camera punch sized on the left mid of the phone where you usually read messages which is quite annoying
Where you get parts from?
@@wb7551 Aliexpress
It's still a great phone. That zoom camera is still one of the best out there.
what about the FRP lock? many newer android phones have it enabled
It was pretty easy to take out google frp lock. From 2023 they fixed almost all backdoors that was used to bypass it. If somebody dont update smartphone then its not a problem.
Bigger issue is samsung frp lock.
One thing that always confuses me in these videos. If you hard reset through the recovery menu, doesn't that result in the device being Google locked when you try and set it back up again?
Yes if the previous owner didn't remove it from their Google account and had not turned off "Find my Phone". If that's the case, you will need to hopefully have the seller's info; otherwise, hope you paid with paypal
no, android devices don't have no such thing like iPhone's if that's what's confusing you. Google doesn't lock devices down that's absurdly dumb and anti consumer they would be adding on to the e-waste and bricked devices apple does and many repair shops show off the tons of devices they got sitting virtually useless for no reason!
Scrolled too far to find this comment. I was hoping to know more about it because I accidentally locked down some phones while fixing them in this way
Is this a thing in other countries? Here in Australia this is not a thing I have reset many phones in the exact way he did and have never even heard of a Google Lock.
@@Bombasticdude11 there is a bypass for most Android versions. In this case you may also be able to put it into download mode and flash the stock rom using Odin
Great job Hugh! Very professional and positively riveting to watch! 😊👍
For anyone wondering, this phone is almost part for part identical to the Note20 Ultra in disassembly so take notes here. Hugh is usually better at explaining and showing sneaky things than other repair channels on CZcams and explains things MUCH better.
I worked as samsung auth. repair engg. one of the common issue i found with these condition phones is the dust from the damage or mishandling stuck under the camera and troubles in focus and stabilization. Hope you got that good here. 👍👍
I have one here... trouble in focus and stabilization of camera.
It's not easy to find an original one (it is too expensive here in Brazil).
But what about the frp lock ?
Love your channel mate. I have been watching you for ages and I can’t wait to use the knowledge I learned from you to repair technology as well! :)
Love his channel because he’s so thorough and gives solid advice
love your stuff man
That was a nice easy repair, from what I saw - I don't see why Ifixit has to give these Samsung phones a low repair score when replacing a display, back glass and battery is relatively straightforward with the right tools in hand.
There's only one type of screw used, and no software locks to be seen in sight.
It’s difficult to open them without cracking the back glass, the battery has no pull tabs so it will get bent or damaged when removed. And the display costs more than a used working phone. Although this might not factor in the score. While it’s better than an iphone, it doesn’t compare with their older phones like the S2 on repairability.
I don't know why they give the iPhone a high repairability score. They lock everything to the phone. Can't change your battery without a message popping up and battery health being disabled. Can't change the screen without it messing up true tone. They may be easy to take apart, but they are technically impossible to repair without being able to register the new parts.
It's because they bought a screen with a frame already attached to it. The screen came with a whole housing. Granted the housing of this phone is really messed up, but I've seen Hugh do the same thing for phones that have good housings as well, unfortunately.
If you try to use your own phone's housing, that means you need a ton of glue and a ton of patience to remove the old screen which will definitely shatter into a million pieces.
iFixit takes that into account. Hugh Jeffreys doesn't, for some reason.
Its pretty obvious. Samsung does not pay IFixit while Apple has always had a shady relationship with iFixit. If Samsung paid ifixit too, the scores would be high. I never trusted Ifixits repair guides tbh
Thanks hugh. I've repaired my broken phone because of your videos!!
Typing this on the same phone i repaired 😍😍
Very satisfying and informative!
2:28, i don't think that's a liquid indicator sticker. I believe that's just a sticker to hold in the tiny foam balls that are inside of the speaker.
Oh yes 100% true, just noticed that too
Sunday morning pancakes with a new Hugh Jefferys video is a nice way to start the day. Cheers mate
Beautiful work👌, The Ewaste is less or none with you 💪
Nice Great video as usual Hugh!
How did you avoid the FRP lock (Google lock)
Great! Thank you.
Just replaced the screen and back following your video. Surprisingly easy 🙂
How did you get around knoxs the security in the phone usually if you reset the phone you need the previous owners info to get pass the security
Your videos are ABSOLUTELY AWESOME !!!!!!!!! it's super relaxing to sit back and watch these after a day of FIXING CARS , WHAT A BIGG W :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 'water damage indicator' you saw on the bottom midframe/speaker was actually just the cover for the little balls the are in the speaker. They are red from the factory so no worries there.
OK can someone explain what the little balls actually do. I've been trying to find out and still don't understand.
@Jack Kraken make the speaker sound bigger and richer from what I can gather.
@@doosanengineer7659 I know but how?
@@jackkraken3888 "What those small balls does is bounce the sound waves around each other and scattering the sound waves out thus making it sound "larger"".
@@RonaldoTalison thanks does it also some kind of distortion? Sometimes I notice this on my phone and the distortion goes away.
Always cool to see your repairs ^^ Any tips on how to get a half broken display from a Surface Pro 3 removed without heat?
Had the same exact repair done on my S20 before I was selling it, just severely less damage. They charged me over 400 dollars. Damn, if I knew it was this easy I would have done it myself.
Im really greatful, you have gave me so much confidence in fixing devices and making money, Thanks, From Tom
Hugh Jeffreys with another great repair video.
And we're done... soon to be a famous youtube ending. Thanks Hugh always like your short sweet and to the point posts
Good call on replacing the battery. Ever since the S8, there's been an alarming number of cases where new Samsungs started developing pillows. Not even the S20 is safe.
Ive been watching u for so long and i really really love what you are doing with any tech you are basically a magician!
Didn’t get to see if it was FRP locked after the reset 👀 But great video as always Hugh!
Yeah that was weird, normally they show the phone in it's homescreen near the end.
I had to look up what you were talking about, I dont know if this is a regional thing or if you are referring to this in Australia but I have never seen FRP or encounted this on any device that I've factory reset the way he did in the video, the phone is just able to be setup like normal.
Exactly what I was thinking, he always seems to not encounter FRP whenever repairing Android phones and they just magically set up without problems, however this time he didn't even show it working
Bypassing FRP is no big deal
@@neerajdwivedi2015 Shit wait till u get to a s22 frp lock there getting hard to find people who can bypass
The genius that is Hugh strikes again 😊
I'm more amazed by the price Hugh pays for salvaged devices than all of the phenomenal work he does on restoring....I cannot find devices in great condition (demoed) at Hugh prices.
Ive been watching the channel since 2020!
As always my admiration to you Mr Jeffrey..
Arguably this is one of Samsung's best phones (inside out) especially when it comes to reparability. all this phone was missing is a headphone jack!
Indeed. With the S21 and S22 series, they even removed the SD card reader, and the A53 5G also has no headphone jack (and no charger). I think the best modern flagship Samsung with all features was the S9/S10 series, with things slowly going south from there.
@@Carahato iris scanner from the s9 is pretty cool
@@Carahato Imo the s10 was...
@@Archie.9005 The S10 already lost some of the features the S8/S9 had, like the iris scanner, 3D touch home button, heart rate sensor, or the notification LED (it got the fugly hole punch instead), but it was the last Samsung flagship that came with a headphone jack, a microSD card slot, and a charger in the box, so there's that.
@@denny1527 The s10 still had the heart rate sensor (minus the s10e), still had the notification light (via amoled ring light around the punch hole) and it had the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner (more accurate than the optical scanner found on other under display phones) I also think the iris scanner is a bit of a gimmick since Samsung is known for being the tech company with the most unusual products like the galaxy beam with was a phone with a built in projector, the galaxy round which was a phone with a display curved inwards and the zoom s4 which was a phone with the really big camera, all of which didn't sell well. Still think Samsung is a unique company unlike apple who sells the same shit every year and making it eyewateringly expensive and difficult to repair.
Watching your videos everytime🥰
I’m interested in purchasing this one for sure !!
These are so easy to repair and very nice to use as they still have micro sd card for extra storage.
Still have mines s20 ultra almost 1TB that's including the SD card storage hehe 🔥 have a few art app, fl studio, music downloaded & alot of photos and video doesn't lag one bit the battery life is almost good for certain people if they go nuts on the phone it decent :/ but has wireless charging can't beat that
@@Kushalien51_nv nice mate im running 128gb with 256gb microsd card atm until i find a 512gb s20 ultra pr samsung bring back microsd storage on the new models
Such a nice phone to repair . S22 ultra i did the other day such a beautiful phone
You make it look so easy! 😎 Touch wood that I never have to repair my Mum's S20! 🤣
Knock on wood…..
@@YeOldeGeezer They are probably not from the US, Knock on wood is the American phrase and Touch wood is the British variant.
@@JustA.Person most likely given that their profile picture is of the London Underground!
@@YeOldeGeezer I hadn't noticed that, haha
Great repair Hugh ! Just wanted to check how much did the S20 Ultra display costed in this repair ?
Well done - „a walk in the park“ 😂 for most of us it is like hiking on the Mount Everest
i have a question, why don't you mention the FRP bypass that you would need to do to have it fully working again?
Right? There is a chance there was no Google account on the phone. But it's probably like 0,01%.
Amazing and very informative video
thank you for getting me into phone repair :D
I have always found the s20 Ultra, as such a nice looking phone.
I have my s20 ultra still, it still works great. The only thing I've had to do to it was replace the screen because it had a nasty chip in the corner.
Where do you get your displays from? I was considering iFixit but their screens cost MORE than the phone does on eBay so I’ve just had a broken S20 in my drawer for the last year doing nothing.
I’m also looking for an affordable Samsung screen 😢.
IFixit is way too expensive like you said.
Does the FRP lock get reset when you do a full factory wipe?
Hugh, where do you purchase Samsung batteries? My S10e has a very worn-out one and I really need a reliable replacement.
thanks, this video encouraged me to order parts and repair my damaged s20 ultra which has a malfunctioned screen and a broken back glass. I have some experience in repairing electronics so wish me luck.😆
Good stuff!
Do you re-apply the thermal compound in devices which use them .
How do you bypass FRP after resetting phones?...great video btw
What I love about seeing these videos is that I've ALWAYS seen a phone in worse condition believe it or not.
youre my inspiration! im 13 years old and you tevhed me how to fix electronics i have so many in my collection beacause you teached me :)
I repaired my Xperia 1's fingerprint sensor (common issue in this model) thanks to your videos. it was inspirational and a housing replacement video of yours showed me where the retaining bracket might be for the sensor itself.
Sony Xperia 1 Mark 1?
@@DarkGhost9595 yes!
The 512gb model is rare in Europe as Samsung never sold the 512gb after preorders , and only sold the 128gb model
For sticking back covers back to the housing, which one is better Using a double sided tapes or adhesive glues?
Amazing Restoration Brother 🥰
Hey Hugh! Any advice when the device gets wiped but the Knox Samsung Factory Reset protection keeps the phone from activating???? I have three bricks that would work perfectly
Hugh I did I similar repair last year, but after I finished I ran into factory reset protection. How did you get around this?
I used to own a regular S20. It was almost the perfect phone. My only issue that led me to sell it is the idle battery drain which led me to get about 3 hours SOT every day
Won’t this have FRP?
as someone who does this, that red mark on the loud speaker is NOT an LDI. I thought that as well when I first started but even new ones (straight from samsung) have that red mark!
just for reference,the red dot its not a liquid damage indicator,it hold the balls inside the loudspeaker-antenna assembly
Did the fingerprint scanner work after replacement of the display? as always prefect video without any unnecessary stuff.
After replacement of screen on Samsung devices, the finger print sensor still works.
You can check in his other Samsung videos.
Love your videos. Just waiting for my ebay s20ultra with shdows on the screen. Hope is burning and not a black dot... A critic on the video: i missed information about prices of the replacements and the broken phone and the origin of the display. Is it original oled? Also how do you unlock frp (i suppose you dont tell that on purpose)
How did you get past the FRP lock if there was any?
Is it okay to replace the screen and keep using the on screen fingerprint without messing it?
With this much damage and disassembly, have you ever considered just getting the replacement screen panel and polishing & electroplating the old frame? Would be an interesting project at least and might end up being cheaper.
4:30 am, Studying and Got the Notification😅 Screw Homework
Raise your hand if you been watching Hugh Jeffreys for a long time 🤚🏻
Been watching for 5 years is thet long enough?
Of course. ✋🏻
🙋♂️

Next time you do one restoration, sell it to me. I'll gladly buy it.
Where does you get less priced phone
And where can i bought it in india
how do you get the orignal replaceable parts?
Thanks hugh
Hello, nice repair video. The initialization was not looked by the previous owner Google account? Usually hardware buttons hard reset requires to connect with previous owner Google acccount.
I think the the Knox E-Fuse is Tripped ie; 0x1 instead of 0x0
I love my S22 Ultra. Mixing my favorite, the Note, with Samsung's best.
hi, how much was the total cost?
awesome video!!
Always waiting to hear "And we're done" :)
how do you get around frp lock if the phone has it enabled?
The red sticker on the back of the loudspeaker is not a liquid damage indicator. It's just a red sticker to keep all the foam balls inside of the speaker module. I've repaired dozens of s20 Ultras and all of them have that red sticker
Could you do a video about carrier locks, blacklists and account locks?
Hi Hugh, if my handset is over heating is it worth me changing the screen which has white/green burn? thanks
Why did you block off the battery section with you hand?
Where is a good place to buy a replacement screen and battery?
This is so inspirational. Thanks for the videos, keep up the good work. Regards from finland😎
Would you be interested in an iphone 8 for parts? It's all in pieces as I was going to restore it but the price was too high and can't default the passcode. I was told it got wet but I can't see any signs of it had gotten wet. Except for the layers of the screen. Glass is still good.
My S21 Ultra reaches its second birthday soon and was tossing up if I should pay the money and swap it for another from Samsung as it’s insured with them. The phone has a couple of screen chips from it landing on the screen after dropping 30cm but other than that is perfect. After Hugh mentioned the battery I might think harder about it now.
Hugh Isn’t the phone google locked or do you have a way to remove it
Ouch! That phone had quite a beating but as usual you got it working again! Nice work sir.
Where do you find these cheap broken phones?
Where do u get these devices as i also want to do a restoration
Do you have links to these parts for Australia? I can find them on the links provided.
