I have an iPhone 7+ that reboots constantly. I can’t use it for more than 10 mins max without it rebooting but it is more...

Its a pretty easy procedure: (1) Heat the back cover with a heat gun, blow dryer, etc. to loosen the adhesive (2) Use something small and thin to get between the glass and the phone’s housing and separate the glass from the phone (3) The new back should come with some adhesive, otherwise apply a small bead of glue all along the outer edge of the glass back (4) Place the glass back onto the phone’s housing and press along the outer edges to create a seal between the glue and the housing A back can be purchased here Hope this helps! Update: The fingerprint sensor/camera lens may have to be transferred from the smashed back to the new one. Simply use a little bit of heat to loosen it from the old back and glue it down on the new one.

You could try opening up the phone and disconnecting the battery for a moment to do a power cycle which should kick it out of DFU mode

If your broken screen was still showing backlight, theres a good chance that your iPhone is still functioning. Connect your new screen and it should be working. Post your findings once you’ve tried this

A little bit of E8000 should do the trick

If the LCI isn’t triggered and your phone is working normally then I’d say you shouldn’t worry, but just to be safe you could always bring your phone to your local repair shop so they can open it up and make sure there’s no damage further into the phone than you can see, or, if you’re feeling adventurous you could try it yourself

Double check to make sure a screwdriver didn’t slip and nick the power button cable near the top of the phone. If there is any damage to that cable try replacing it.

Is there resistance when youre putting the screen down? Is it possible that the clips aren’t quite sitting right and its putting pressure on the LCD?

Do you mean recovery mode? There is a software called iMazing which can take your iPhone out of recovery mode and you can download it here Hope this helps!

Only thing to do is replace the screen, you cant expect damaged parts to function like new ones

It’s better to get at it sooner rather than later. If you have experience with phone repair, the first thing you want to do is open up the phone and disconnect the battery to prevent further electrical damage. Check out this guide to repair a water damaged phone. If you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself, bring it to a service centre.
