update!

OK! So I got the one I ordered from amazon today, great I thought.

Opened and first problem I have is it's the wrong color, know I ordered the black, but came in the gray/blue color. Figured no biggie since I have a case so for most part you wouldn't know.

But the second problem turned out that it isn't an exact fit. The old (which didn't come off as easily as some have said) was a very tight fit (nats ass to the back cover), the replacement ended with a larger gap (approximately 1/32nd" gap all the way around). This will definitely effect the water/dust effectiveness.

But, for now it will due until I can get the right one, genuine glass replacement. I will have to be more careful with it around water and dust as I believe it won't due the trick. I will try to upload some images.

Pics are not the best
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Mark Goetz:
Also, If anyone has ordered the one off ebay I would like to know how that one fit.

Thank You

Be sure to take advantage of LG and their new 2 year warranty for the G6. All you have to do is register your phone on their website. Just came out yesterday
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] stargate823:
Oh good, so 2 years worth of warranty that won't cover an obvious manufacturers defect. :confused:

Got may replacement parts... now I just need the time to deal with it. I'll report back once I make the repair. I'm going to watch a few YouTube videos first to get more comfortable with what I'm doing.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] stargate823:
Well, I bit the bullet and made the repair tonight. Got it nice and warm with a heat gun, and managed to lift and edge enough to get a plastic pry tool under it. You definitely want to replace the adhesive when you do this. You're likely going to destroy it.

Here's a shot with the new adhesive applied.

And here's the final shot. It fits exactly like the original. The color looks off in the photo, but it must just have been the way the light hit it. It's definitely the correct color.

Where did you get the black lens cover i did a converting of my phone to clear but i broke the lens cover and want a black one.

Had phone for less than 2 weeks and despite using a sturdy caselogic case the camera lens cracked. I haven't dropped it and it's mostly sat on my desk. I think I'm thinking the theory regarding the LED light causing expansion/contraction on the crappy camera lens glass is the likely culprit. I can't really think of anything else?

TMobile could care less. Pay the $175 to get a refurbished phone or send to the muppets at LG, who for the most part seem to always blame the user and demand between $80-150 to replace a few dollars worth of glass. And the kicker, they won't offer any warranty on the glass or tell you if it's any different from the piece of crap that broke. If you're like me and stuck with this crap there's a couple of guys selling replacement glass lens. One is an eBay guy in Spain who will rip you off by making you buy the glass and adhesive separately (he won't combine shipping so he can charge $10 shipping twice for something that weighs nothing), the other is a guy on Amazon from somewhere in Asia who will send you a full kit including adhesive, tools to remove the busted glass etc. $14 but takes a month to get to the states. He only has white or blue, so must be for international versions but the lens cover looks identical to our H872 TMobile variants. I ordered blue.

There's one other company on Amazon that sold replacement camera glass with adhesive already on the back for the G6, they should have a G6 version within a couple of weeks.

Hope this is useful for any other poor sucker who bought this garbage. I should have known better when the startup logo "life's good" popped up and I immediately thought of my refrigerator.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Mark Goetz:
Beware!

The piece on Amazon is going to be wrong. It isn't an exact fit (check out my post from earlier). I am now getting the one from Ebay because "Stargate823" got that one and said it was a perfect fit. I believe the one on Amazon is actually one for an older model (G4, G5?), or another model. I think it was close enough to say it was. Which would explain the odd colors for G6 since LGs site doesn't show those colors. But you could be right in saying it's colors for Asian models but I know for a fact they don't make a whole new mold for the housing of the phone and since it doesn't fit right I would say it IS NOT for G6.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Rinzler:
Ok so from sparesworld.net....you ordered the adhesive for the back cover, the adhesive for the camera glass, and the actual glass.

It appears the adhesive for the back cover was unnecessary because you did not open the back cover and only needed the glass adhesive correct?

For those reading.....website is www.sparesworld.net

Camera Glass (Black) Part Number/SKU: MKC66179702

Glass Adhesive Part Number/SKU: MJN70094201

Back Cover Adhesive Part Number/SKU: MJN70133501 - (Not sure if necessary yet)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] stargate823:
Correct. The back cover adhesive is not needed. You can just remove the camera glass by itself, and peel off the old adhesive. Be damned careful putting the new adhesive on. It's unbelievably sticky and you only get one shot to get it on straight.

It was several weeks. About a month passed from the date I ordered and when I had parts in hand.

I agree. These cracked camera lens seem to be the black version of the phone, has there been any for the other colours?

I have the liquid titanium TMobile version and have a cracked lense in a otter box. So it's not just the black version I am sure it was the popular choice

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] I Like Soup:
I went to take a quick photo this morning and the screen was all hazy. Sure enough, I have a cracked camera lens that is centered right in the middle of the wide angle lens. The last photo I took was at 9:10pm last night. I do have my phone in a Spigen thin case and a tempered glass screen protector. Now, last night was the first time I ever had anything in my right pocket with this phone (wearing gym shorts rolling around with my twin baby girls), which was my Plantronics bluetooth. But that was short lived. I guess I could have rolled over on my right side and my bluetooth pressed up against the camera lens. I must say though, I've owned the G2, G3, G4, and now the G6, and a myriad of different work smartphones and have had my bluetooth in my pocket on occassion with no instances of this happening.

The responsible, own up to making a mistake part of me thinks it must have been the bluetooth headset pressing up against the lens that cracked it. But am I suspicious of a cracked camera lens due to some material issue from LG considering previous issues I've heard of from them in the past?...yep.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Joeboo25:
Bummer. Did you actually get a ship notice and/or tracking number or did it just show up one day? I've contacted them a couple times and the last they said on 7/3 was "it will ship today". But then nothing changed.

I'm fine with stuff taking forever from China, but they at least let you know when the ePacket or whatever leaves the warehouse.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] stargate823:
Yes, they did notify me once it shipped and I was provided with a tracking number.

LG G6 Camera glass shattered around the flash

Exactly. It's only day two I owned the phone. I got shattered rear camera glass . It is definitely not causing for any regular usage fault.

For me, It shattered around the flash.

How I use phone? Will appear to be insanity to everyone. and it's now my habit.

Mostly keep in my front pocket and make sure nothing there.

Take the phone out before I sit.

While driving I keep it in driver glove box (always).

If any kid around I always secure it in my hands.

Insanity I know but that's how I am.

I bought my LG G6 end of July from Argos. The camera screen just cracked by itself in less than three weeks . Disgusted. The back of the phone is in protective case and only small camera part was exposed. It appears to be a quality issue as sudden tempeature change cause this to break as its just next to sensor button and you can touch camera window accidently.

Shattered through lens protector.

Just put a tempered glass lens protector on it last week. Today it shattered. Lens protector is unscratched. Anyone had luck getting this repaired under warranty?

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rkingsparx81:
Does it matter if the replacement is plastic or tempered glass. I ordered a plastic one only because I didn't want to deal with the possibility of it cracking for no reason as the OEM has.

This seems like a real issue regarding G6. I was considering buying it but now i seems like not worth taking chance since warranty probably would not cover broken glass.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Mark Goetz:
I like to see more people posting on their success with repair...

To include with post: Where they bought? How long did it take to get new parts? And, If it was right color and fit or not (if it wasn't a perfect fit like "stargate823" was, then I say it was the wrong one)?

Reason I am asking this is because I had ordered the lens and gasket from where "stargate823" got his, over 2 months ago now and still haven't received. I don't know what happened to it since it had to be done through paypal (which I, for some reason or another, can't log in to see what is going on with it). So now I am trying to find out if others have received theirs and if they found it somewhere else? So I can try to order it, AGAIN!

Recently I have tried to find it somewhere else (not successfully).

Thank you for any help in advance!

I found my lens cracked on Monday night. Tuesday I researched how to fix it. Then Tuesday I bought a lens on Amazon Prime and received today (Thursday). I had it replaced in less than 5 minutes. Super easy. Perfect fit. Cost $11. I live in Chicago, IL USA... guessing Amazon may not be available outside the US?

From what I know the only colors for the US are. Silver, black and orchid gray
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FluxionFluff:
At launch, the US will only get Midnight Black, Arctic Silver, and Orchid Gray. I've heard that the Coral Blue might be an exclusive unlocked model when I asked about that color at Best Buy, but no confirmation on that. All I know about the unlocked variant is that it should come out in May or somewhere around there.

Initially, for a month only Gold and black versions were available. Coral Blue is available for S8+ only here in INDIA. Trust me it looks fantastic. And the color shades change/look different from different viewing angles. You can never go wrong with Croal blue/Orchid Grey. These look much better than the Midnight Black and Maple Gold versions.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Kyrohn:
Hi guys, first time posting.

I have now a moto g4 plus that was OTA updated from Android 6.x to Android 7.0 and that caused it to bootloop and die later. Before that I had no knowledge of ROMs, bootloaders, fastboot, flashing, sideloads, ADB, RSD or anything like that. But this last week I acquired a superficial knowledge thanks to google, foruns of all kinds and you guys from XDA.

My phone started doing nothing at all and I progressed, solving the not charging battery problem (disconnecting and reconnecting it), the not lighting up led (with the original turbo charger and a three minute hold of the vol - and power up buttons) and finally accessing the fastboot mode and later the recovery mode which allowed me to dive into all kinds of tutorials about the reasons that I could not use ADB (usb debugging disabled) or flash custom ROMs (unlocked bootloader and unchecked "allow oem unlock"). All the research ended up to the conclusion that the only thing I could do was to flash the stock rom of Android 7.0 through RSD or fastboot/mfastboot. Did that, wiped cache and users data/factory reset and... nothing. The phone installed the stock ROM but it still doesn't pass the Motorola logo screen.

After that I came to three possible solutions:

1) Try to install the brasilian ROM version I have in my sister's Moto G4 plus (NPJS 25.93-14.4), but I can't find it anywhere (thought about backing it up from her phone, but root would be needed and her phone is still in warranty).

2) To wait till Android 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 stock ROM be released for Moto g4 plus flash it and hope it do the trick.

3) Send to Motorola assistance so they change it's motherboard (last resource considering the phone is not in warranty anymore).

Well, as I said my knowledge is new and superficial so I need your help and opinion about my conclusions and other possible solutions.

I thank you all for all I've learned so far and for any tips you can spare on me. Thanks again and keep doing what you do here.

Hello Kyrohn, before I go into any specific idea on what you should do have you ever tried considering flashing Lineage OS onto your device?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Ayan Uchiha Choudhury:
if your phone has charge i would suggest you to do the following

1. make sure it's switched off, drain the charge and then recharge if you can't be sure if it's switched off or not.

2. install your drivers properly.

3. then connect your device(in switched off condition) via usb cable while simultaneously holding power button and volume down button only.

4. the phone should enter into a black area and from there reboot to bootloader.

5. follow this link properly

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369

this should do it. cuz it should always boot to recovery/bootloader from moto screen

HIT LIKE IF IT HELPED
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Kyrohn:
Hi Justin, thanks for reply. Lineage OS is a custom ROM, right? So the stock bootloader won't allow me to flash this ROM considering my bootloader is locked and the OEM unlock option is unchecked (and inaccessible).
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] MisterSteve:
Have you tried flashing stock marshmallow?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Xavario:
Okay I understand, I will guide you through the process of unlocking your bootloader then.

Requirements:

A computer and a usb cord,

Moto G4/G4 Plus,

ADB/Fastboot Drivers: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566,

Moto G4/G4 Plus Drivers: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481,

Once you have installed the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool, launch the tool from the desktop icon named Minimal ADB and Fastboot. You should be brought to a command window.

Now power down your phone and hold the volume down and power button at the same time. you should see a screen pop up. then press the volume down button until you see bootloader and leave it there.

Now at the command window, type:

fastboot oem get_unlock_data

It should return with something like this:

$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000

After that, go to paste it all into notepad (A Windows application) and delete the bootloader text and all other spaces so it looks like this:

0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000

Go to Motorola’s bootloader unlock site and login with Google. Paste the entire code from notepad into the input box there. Then click can my device be unlocked and agree to the terms.

You will then be sent an email to unlock your bootloader.

Put the key that they send you into notepad and put it in the command line like shown below:

fastboot oem unlock "YOURKEY" (Replace YOURKEY with the key you received)

It will unlock your device. Congratulation you have successfully unlocked your device.

Hi Steve, yes I tried, but I can't downgrade the system, the stock bootloader doesn't allow me :(
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Kyrohn:
Thanks for the reply and patience again Justin. But as I said before the option "Allow OEM Unlock" in Android Settings > Developer Options is unchecked. So when I try unlock the bootloader with the commands you passed I get the following error: Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings > Developer Options. But I can't do that considering the phone doens't boot Android.

Maybe I'm using one I shouldn't. The first error appears on this command line "mfastboot flash oem oem.img" and the error is "Invalid PIV signed oem image". I also tried the next line "mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0" and the error is "Invalid PIV signed system image". Isn't that an error when we use an incorrect ROM for a region? I'm trying the asian ROM cause I couldn't found a brasilian one.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Kyrohn:
Just tried to flash a supposed brasilian retailed marshmallow ROM, but got the same PIV error. Any ideas about the reason why?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Could redownload your ROM to double-check it's not corrupted. Also, is your device carrier unlocked or provided by a carrier? I've had a quick look on that error and in a few cases may be due to a carrier restriction.

However, in order to downgrade, you need an unlocked bootloader which isn't achievable as you've mentioned. And the fast boot won't work either...

When did you buy your device? I recall reading on the Motorola website the warranty is 12 months in Brasil, unless you've been told different? (Edit:https://help.motorola.com/hc/apps/settings/legal/global/pt-br/index.html?t=T1700272834 unless this is out of date)
