Broken glass fix?

[JBmfG]

Dropped my Razr hd over the weekend and cracked the glass. It still works 100% but is annoyingly broken. Has anyone replaced just the glass on one of these? I saw a youtube of the glass removal and its pretty hairy. The LCD/glass combo is over $100 on ebay so I'm not sure what to do. I have insurance through Vzn but they'll send me a replacement with a locked bootloader. Unsure what to do. Any suggestions?

Not sure what the deductible is up to now thru Verizon insurance, but I'm pretty sure it's over $120.

I would buy the LCD/digitizer assembly and replace it myself and keep the unlocked bootloader.

I guess im more interested in just replacing the glass, not the whole LCD. I am eligible for a discounted upgrade and can get the motox for less than the LCD costs. Id like to wait a bit and see the s5 before going that route so im lookig to just get by until then. Anyone just done the glass replacement?

I've changed just the glass myself. And it works perfect. There is a video on utube That just shows the glass getting replaced. Good luck and be careful not to damage the lcd

Alright, well ive ordered a glass screen off ebay, and im going to give it a shot. If i screw it up, ill just get a new phone i guess.

I know its to late, but for anyone else out there I myself broke the screen. And I got a new phone through insurance, now instead of sending in the old phone I simply swapped the screens. This would allow you to keep your unlocked device without buying an expensive replacement screen outright.

Well i did it. Not for the faint of heart ill tell you that. It took me about 2.5 hours to get the glass off and i probably should have taken even more time. I dont know if i got it too hot or what but i have a dime sized area that has a yellowish tint. I also have two smallish places that i accidentally scratched up some of the darkening film on top of the lcd. Plus I scratched the hell out of a majority of the lcd. Everything works though, no bad touch areas or dead areas. Id say its marginally better than having the cracked glass.

Good luck if youre going to try this.
