can the glass and LCD be separated after step 21?

allen immaraj - Reply

No, it can’t. It strips te polarizing layer off the LCD and ruins it, so dont buy just the digitizer to repair. Having said that, also dont buy the LCD either as its not worth the cost as a new phone will be cheaper or similar price.
