Thanks for this tutorial. For folks looking to replace the display/digitizer assembly, the narrower of the two cables is the digitizer connection. I did the partially assembled test and the touch screen didn't work. I went back and seated that connection deeper and that got everything working. The screws are T3, which should be obvious when you try to fit a T4 into the heads. Also note that my display assembly didn't come with the two plastic strips that fit into the mic and speaker slots. You can pry the old ones out with a spudger, then I used the spudger end to push the strip's tabs into the corresponding slots. The pry tab on my battery connection broke off easily, but I could pry out the connector with sharp angled tweezers. The connector reseats and works okay. I'll probably replace the battery in a while and assume it has a new connector.
Very unfortunate to watch a 6 mins video with the description saying, "charging port fix" only to hear only a single sentence about the charging port that "it is not user serviceable." Do not list something in the video title if it is something you don't cover. otherwise, would have been a good video. Consider changing the title
I am also disappointed about this. I'm writing this comment on my dying Nexus 6 :(
The charge port repair service is here: www.ebay.com/itm/Nexus-6-Motorola-Broken-Charging-Port-Repair-Service-/371640985983?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
Vince N. Thanks, but that's pretty expensive. I am already going to get the 6p soon anyway
I agree. Stupid TH-cam click bait
The fix is the wireless charger
Thank you! Various other videos either warn about disconnecting the volume control ribbon cable, or show a quick disconnecting and reconnecting without describing or showing in detail how to do it. Yours is the only one that shows the latch that has to be popped up and resecured once the connector is in place. Cost me an hour or so of examining under a loupe and experimenting, trying to figure out how to reconnect the two cables. Wish your video had popped up first!
Good instructional video! Excellent tips! Especially, about how to start prying the back panel using the SIM card hole. I couldn't find any opening after excessive heat and trial several times. Before I started to damage the back panel, I found your video and was able to get it off a lot easier then. Thanks!!!
If I may also add, in the process of re-assembly, to replug the ribbon cables, align them on the plug on top of the connector and pres gently to snap it in. If it doesn't plug-in with a simple pressure, it probably isn't lined up correctly. Good luck everyone!
Wow,this is a pretty straightforward process to get the battery out. I was kinda worried about what to do once the battery degrades,but as long as I can find a replacement I guess I'm good. it'd be nice if I could throw an extended battery in this big phone considering how slim that one is.
Nice Video, clear and well produced. I have a new Nexus 6 with no documentation but now I know the battery can be replaced. Thanks for this.
Protip for those having trouble with the glue holding the back cover on: breathe on it for a good 30-60 seconds (like you would if you were warming up your hands in the cold). This actually worked really well for me in loosening up the glue. I didn't do this for the whole thing, only for the edges/corners, then once I had enough wiggle room I stuck an exacto knife in there to cut the rest of the glue.
First time commenting on a video. This video was unbelievably well done. seamless fast-forwarding and skipping!
Great video, I just bought a Nexus 6 and it's good to see that things are a little less fiddly than in the HTC One X I had before.
Thank you for making these videos as I don't need to send to any phone for repair
Brilliant video, thank you - i've replaced my battery and the phone's as good as new
Thanks a lot for the video! I plan to use my Nexus 6 for a long time so it's great news that changing the battery isn't all too difficult.
Well done! in the market for purchasing a new phone. This took out all the guess work for replacing the screen if and WHEN it breaks.
Thank you for providing this video. Looks like one of the easiest phone to fix. I have had worse... I hate glue. I welcome the screws !!!!
Fantastic as usually . helping home techs help others...keep up the good work...from the land down under:) james
Thanks man! Its almost 3 in the morning where I live, so its finally time for bed. Glad you enjoyed my video!
er zerlegt das teil so easy als ob es es selbst entwickelt hätte. bester mann
Thanks Zach I just got the old relic from a friend and it needs a new LCD looks super easy I'm going to replace the LCD and battery , sorry the LCD it flicers when u touch it and the screen is not color correct anymore
Well; i had that old Phone N6 on the sidie in the Nexus collection replaced the battery without any problems Thx Zach
Your voice is very relaxing.
My experience is that the repair is not this easy. Nearly so, but after ordering the tools and part linked in the comments, I still ended up returning them and buying an entirely new phone.
I ordered the parts linked in the video. The part arrived without the mesh backing or frame. The mesh backing is unsalvageable off your old Nexus 6. I managed to salvage the frame off the old Nexus 6, however the glass from the old screen was still adhered to this frame. The part I ordered came with no way to adhere the new glass to the salvaged frame. I did have the means to clean the old glass off the salvaged frame, or to adhere the new glass to the salvaged frame.
Perhaps it's bad on me, but I thought if I ordered all the parts and tools in this video I could do the repair. However without salvaging the frame, removing adhesive from the salvaged frame, and re-adhereing the new screen part (that's linked in the video), you may not be able to make this repair.
wow that looked very simple you are one skilled tech guy I liked that :D
I have one of my own with a broken because it fell down and it been two years i haven't fixed it yet, thanks for the video, I will try to fix it..!
Well done! Great instructional video.
Jerry you the best man, Thank You*
Why say in the title of the video, that you are going to fix the charging port, then just say that it's not replaceable?
DrKlown Good point. In fact it *is* replaceable! Microsoldering is involved like any other micro usb charging port. Local mobile device repair shops here will do it for about $60. They will replace the battery for about $40.
Video title says "Charging port fix", yet you state in the video that the USB port must be soldered and instead we can use a wireless charging pad. That's not a fix, that's a workaround. Clickbait or honest mistake?
I did explain how it could be fixed. So i guess it just depends on your perspective. But i see your point.
+JerryRigEverything Have you attempted a USB port replacement? I have a replacement part but I'm skeptical after several other videos note it could be very difficult.
James Gose I keep meaning to do one on the PS4 controller... but I just havent had time. But I agree, it looks pretty hard.
You can find the service here: www.ebay.com/itm/Nexus-6-Motorola-Broken-Charging-Port-Repair-Service-/371640985983?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
Hi Zack. You have made several references to the Nexus 6 in other durability videos (for example to the logo on the back. I would like to see how this device stands up in your durability tests. The construction seems unique, so I wonder how it would hold up. Thanks, I found this vides informative and enjoy your channel (yes, I am subscribed).
Awesome tutorial. However I'm in the UK and it was T3 screws. Secondly the back panel is a pain to get off, Was soo well stuck together. Took me about 5 mins to gently peel it back. When taking out the screws make sure you are pressing down firmly otherwise you will strip them. Overall an easy job but fortunately I work with my hands on a daily basis. However for anyone who doesn't just take your time it really is simple and just follow this tutorial as you are doing it. Good luck ;)
Nice video. Well explained. I need to replace the battery of my Nexus 6 as it keeps shutting down randomly. Do I need to take data backup before I replace the battery ?
Like always jerry love to see your videos very helpful.
Jose Esquivias Thank you for watching!
Your welcome buddy
awesome vid dude!!! Hope 6p will be be as easy to repair ....
I just preordered mine. So we'll find out as soon as it gets here!
+JerryRigEverything ordered mine too but will leave disassembly to professionals like yourself 😊
Thank you!! Thank you! My phone will now charge!
Great video! Thank you for this, it helped very much!
Great video, only problem is my official Motorola sim card tool is such a cheap, lightweight piece of junk it bent when i pushed from inside the hole. Same with a paperclip. I'll have to get a titanium pin or something I guess, lol.
Did you do a burn,scratch and bend test on the nexus 6?
hey jerry,
Superb video. What I would like to know is that if only the glass can be replaced, as the touch on my phone is working fine.
Thanks for the video. I wish there was a battery with more capacity than the stock one to put in.
like before watching the video. keep up the good work man, thank you
bestgame foot Thanks man! Glad you enjoy my vids.
Very nice video, well done.
Thank you m8.. Very useful
I'm replacing my battery, so these are note as I go:
1st off HOLY SHIT is that tough adhesive! Took over half an hour of slowly prying and peeling once I learned the trick of sticking the pin in the simm card port. This is the second video I watched as the fist just peeled it off like no big deal, didn't even tell you that one, so wheew.
2nd Turning my T4 screwdriver that came in my repair kit does nothing, it's too small to bit, yet my T5 is too big. Shit, now I'm stuck.
Wait, are they T3 or T4? Some sites are saying T3 instead, so maybe I have a T3 driver in my kit, but T4 in the phone and that's my problem. Well, played around and found my eyeglass repair kit flat head works, but they are in TIGHT! Got the pliers to turn them and they seem to be coming out now.
Nice tutorial. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this phone when it has been dropped in a pool and does not power back up after a couple of days to dry out?
Thanks a lot! It was really helpful!!! :D
Hey Jerry, excellent video as always!
I have just one question though: is the process of separating only the glass the same you showed when replacing the Galaxy S3 or is there any new "catch" to it?
Thank you and keep up the good work! :)
+Gustavo Bronner I have no idea actually. I have not done a 'glass only' on the nexus 6. Good luck!
Ok, thank you! Keep up the good work! :)
just replaced the battery, was alot more glue on the midframe and Qi disk accidently ripped the Qi cable, but ordered a new midframe with new pad attached...considering im gonna have this phone atleast another year and half its worth the $25
+Lance Martin Just replaced mine, and you are right. It is more glue than is expected but I went through a ton of youtube videos to see from every angle and I was lucky it didn't break! ;) With Google updating the phone monthly it is worth keeping it running! ;)
Great Video, I have a question since this is my first time trying this. If the phone dies after placing it in a USB charger, Is it the battery or is the board dead? I can still pick Qualcomm when I plug it via USB to my PC but nothing else. It will not charge again. System reboot will not work. either
man.. same problem.. hope someone has an answer soon.. mine was dead after charging it a little too long... and same thing as you, Qualcomm via USB to PC but other than that, dead...
It looks like the your link to the replacement battery is showing a different brand than the EZ30. I know they're both made in China but I wonder about the quality of the cells.
You never did a durability test for this video, I've always wanted to see one of your durability test on this device :(
You miss something very important. You didn't fix the charger port,nor didn't show us either, nor mention it. Everything besides that, great job.
hey Jerry, awesome video, really cool, thanks for it!! Can you tell me what gives this phone its water resistance? I saw it submerged on videos for over 30 mins.
Akos Lipcsey It didnt appear overly water resistant to me. But I dont even trust 'water proof' phones under water.
Classic of jerryrig
Watching on 2019
thanks, my nexus 6 get very hot initially and the screen usually stop responding but resume later when it cool. but now, the screen no longer respond even when cold
you made the claim that it is pretty easy to peel off the back of the phone. It looks easy on your video because you have removed all the adhesive on the back of your phone. After a painstaking hour to remove, my ribbon cable is bent. Totally frustrating.
jerry please where can i get a replacement battery ? My Phone keeps shutting down for no visible reason several times a day and ive got to discover that the battery is the problem and the device is barely 3 months old.
Thank you
Tee Jay same with me im in desperate need of a new battery
did it work?
Tee Jay did u buy on eBay?/I have a similar problem
Does it work ?
hey jerry your awesome i have a nexus 6 in midnight blue and i want to swap out the housing cover and the back cover with the cloud white one, im scared. can you do it first lamoooo i dont want to break my phone.
The video is excellent however as with my Nexus 6P and apparently many USB-C female jacks, the connector is flakey. After researching to re-confirm, there is no way to wirelessly charge it contrary to the comment in the video so unfortunately, it's upgrade time soon.
I recently purchased a new Nexus 6. When I started it up I noticed a page of Chinese or Korean caricatures. I now understand the phone may be rooted. Also my QI charger doesn't work on the phone. I took the protective gel cover off of the phone as well. STILL no QI charging. Could rooting the phone by the people I purchased it from have caused this problem? Thank you , David 🐈
phone looks really easy to repair. its a shame the lcd screens are still so expensive.. :(
What makes the glass repair so difficult on this particular phone? Is it because of the ribbon cables?
Incorrect. I've performed a lot of glass-only repairs, and as long as you have a vacuum hot plate it's super easy.
+Elisabeth “Beth” Anderson it's actually an AMOLED screen not LCD.
Jerry, what type double sided tape is this?
Awesome
The main reason I bought this phone was because it's water resistant, well was supposed to be but mine seems not! slight bit of water today and it stopped. That's why I'm looking at the video, I see there's nothing remotely close to water resistant looking at this. Thanks for the video, we'll see if mine works again..
+Patrick Weir
I don't think I've seen anywhere that said it was water resistant. Are you sure you're not mistaking it with a Moto G 2015?
Nexus 6 is not water resistant/proof.
great video. finally got to the insides of my nexus 6.
it fell in water and im trying to replace the battery to see if it comes back to life. one concern, do i have to replace the qi coils? i cant find it anywhere. hopefully when i replace the battery i can just reuse it. any thoughts on this?
Hi Zack, Do you know if replacement of the mother board is possible on cells without any connectivity issues? Inquiring cause if on my moto x pure, the charge port goes sloppy, the mother board is only fix right? Thanks, another quality tear down as usual. take care.
Great video...
DuoMagico CarlosySinai Thank you!
super easy !!
Do you need glue to re-stick the coil to the battery and connectors?
Every other video here shows the back requires a heat gun to melt the glue even before it can be removed with varying degree of difficulty, how did you remove yours so easily? What's your trick?
+Peter Yee I did this with a brand new N6. I used the SIM ejector tool and pushed it through the slot in the SIM card tray. You'll have to push a bit hard but it will pop up just a little bit for you to stick something thin into the gap to start the removal process.
Umm hi my phone went in the washing machine so is there any way to fix it ?? If yes can you please make a video about it , it is a motorola nexus 6,thank you
You said the screws were T4 Screws. I went out and bought a screwdriver set that goes down to T4.
Turns out they're T3 Screws, and now they're stripped.
Douglas McFarlane Shoot man, T4 worked for me.
+Douglas McFarlane lmfao
isn't his fault
Hey man , great vid. Thanks
user error, and if your not resourceful enough to try diffrent thing before stipping your srews than its your own fault dude. Think before
Hi. My Nexus 6 got bricked. It won't turn on or charge. Can it still be fixed? If yes, what do I need to do? Thanks.
Thanks.. watching this. tried unplugging battery to fix my bricked nexus 6. not fixing it.. nothing really is. oh well. X_X
+Jeremy Judkins How did you break it? Software issues?
JerryRigEverything literally just did a video venting about it haha. So two things were going on at once. I was using it with a samsung fast charger, which i've never done before, and I noticed it actually got really hot. But that is typical. Secondly, I was installing the 6.0.1 ATT OTA update. I installed the 6.0 update manually with the files from google. So I don't know if my unlocked boot loader wasn't jiving with the OTA or what... the device wasn't rooted. I dunno. And every other article I've read related to this issue, they ended up sending to moto, but i'm out of warranty. Between this and my galaxy s6 active with the wifi problems I'm just not having much luck with phones.
***** lol oh no man! That sucks. Is the active completely shot yet? Are you still using your 6p?
JerryRigEverything Actually having a phone to use isn't a problem haha. I have have a zenfone 2 and moto g 3rd gen.. I think right now they have some nightly roms on them so I wouldn't use them unless I put stock back on. The active works.. I actually fooled around with different cables and found one that worked for charging. only issue now is the wifi that cuts in and out at random. not too bad, but it would add a few mbs extra to my data usage. I tried messing with my router and stuff but didn't do anything. Kind of just attributing it to saltwater damage.. or maybe all the drops and crap i've done to it haha. Anyway. I went ahead and got an LG V10 to be my daily driver for now. Never owned an LG device so was kinda excited.
***** Thats tight man. Lucky that your channel deals with tech so you can rationalize so many devices.
Hey Jerry,
Hopefully u still even read Comments on old Videos. I got a issue with the Charging. When i did the Steps when u said "wont charge otherwise" i did everything like u said but sadly my Phone still not Charging. i did everything same like Line Up the Holes and also the Panel on Top of the Mainboard. Maybe i Squeezed to Much the 2 Pin Part of the QI?
I have rebuild now the Phone Prob. 8 Times and cant fix it. Its for sure not the Battery since i also tested my old one.
my nexus 6 screen has a horizontal "dead zone" near the bottom half of the phone. what can this be? do I need to replace the whole screen or is there a lose ribbon inside?
can you do a bend test on the Nexus 6 to see the difference in build quality between the 6 and the 6P
No, the 6p Failed the bend test. Watch his video on it.
It's actually the complete opposite. Aluminum isn't strong, ever dented a soda can?
Good day jerry. i think i screwed up my phones motherboard. it got soaked in sea water. is there any place or site where i can get a spare motherboard? really love this phone. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the upload.
I have a nexus 6 that's been salt water damaged is it possible to fix it,if yes do I replace any component on the mother board and the touch screen doesn't work
But man what a great phone I think they should bring it back in updated form lol
Hello my phone has gotten over heated several times and now its not turning on. I pressed the power button and down button key and its saying that the battery is ok. So I feel it may be the port itself. but i saw that you said that the port cant be replaced. Can I try and see it charges with a wireless charger. I didnt want to get one if it may not work. Thanks in advance.
I have a Nexus 6 that when placed on multiple different wireless chargers it charges for about 10 seconds and just stops. It's not the chargers as they charge another Nexus 6 perfectly, it is the phone. It charges via USB cable just fine. I am thinking the coil inside has come loose or damaged, does this sound right? Position doesn't matter either, it charges for 10 sec or so and just stops. Do you fix phones with issues like this? If so please contact me. Thanks
Men! Seriously, i have never seen; anyone whom actually do this any quicker, and to think that i was going to take it to a technician, and you have save me a few bucks. But i having problems with my battery, it's this normal? I just bought it two weeks ago, and i took it to get it fix under the guarranty, bit they told me that, they didn't have the replacements and to check with them later. I Heard you said that sometimes i'd you disconect the battery for a few sec, and plug it back in, it will automaticly fix itselt! How true this is? And would i cause any harm if i do this? I know this is básic stuff, but can you help me with this? I'm a new subscriber!! Thanks
Giovanny Griovatto Disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it will only help with some software glitches, and boot loop cycles. If you are having charging problems... it MIGHT work... but it might not. While you are still in warranty, be careful of taking that back off, because they will probably be able to tell you got inside it.
Hey jerry thank's for the coments i did exactly how you Said it and it went back to normal, thank's for the tips it really help alot! Glad to suscribe=)))
Nice! Glad you got it fixed, and thank you for subscribing!!
I'm not sure what specifically is wrong with my device, but I'm sure it has to do with the charging port. I receive the "charging" message on my lock screen only with certain cables and that's only when I position those cables in a specific way. Otherwise, I receive the lightning bolt icon with my other cables. I've been looking for a good wireless charger which supports quick charging standards and possibly includes an internal battery pack as an added bonus. Any suggestions on what I need to replace in my phone and/or wireless charging pads with my needs?
Thank you
I feel like you have taken this particular Nexus 6 apart several times. The back does not come off that easy!!!!!
Hey Zack what if the new screen doesn't have the screw holders around the edge?
It is T3 torx. NOT T4
yep
Clement Ho Depends on which variant of the Nexus 6 you have! The international version is different...
Definitely T4 on mine.
I put my phone back together, but it's not turning on. What do you think it is?
I just replaced my battery, but the phone won't turn on.
I checked the buttons ribbon cable and it was connected.
Also when I plug it in the charger the screen comes on and shows that it is charging, but can't turn the phone on.
Any suggestions ?
Is there any way to remove the screws if theyre stripped?
Thanks! my question is... Is there a clear way to tell the nexus 6 a part from nexus clone? with Out taking it apart
Why is the screen so incredibly expensive? I cracked my screen directly down the middle and it's tolerable but swipe texting has become basically unusable due to it cutting my thumb. I just don't know if I want to drop $200 for a new phone screen :(
is the proximity sensor stays with screen or motherboard?
fakin love u dude u saved me ...ama cryy
Hey Jerry,
What UV lamp/light do you use for curing LOCA glue (mind providing a link so I can purchase)? Also how long does it usually take for LOCA glue to cure?
Slecker95 With a good UV light, the glue will cure in about 2-4 minutes. If you look on my website, JerryRigEverything.com, I linked all the tools I use in one of my blog posts. Check it out!
Hey thanks Jerry, found everything I needed! :)
How do you access the storage? I have a problem in which I dropped my Nexus 6 in water, I allowed it to dry but it refuses to turn on. When I plugged it into charge after a few days of drying, it emits a green LED signal, and a white battery signal with a lightning bolt pops up every 3 seconds but the phone can never turn on, so I've pretty much gave up on it.
I was wondering if it's possible to retrieve the storage from the Nexus 6, but I have no idea where it's located. I like to retrieve all the Data that was on my phone. Do you have a solution for this? If you have a solution for the above problem, that'd be great as well.
Is there anyway I can send you a message about an issue I'm having? Not sure if I need to replace my phone or what needs to be fixed
My father passed and I wanted to retrieve some family photos from my older phone, the screen is broken, had water damage, phone will not power on and is not charging on micro USB / wireless charger. If I replace the screen and battery could the fix the issue? Does anyone know how durable the motherboards are besides having to replace the charging port?
question for you, WOULD a moto x pure have certain parts that are interchangeable? battery cover?
Could u please tell me that my nexus 6 does not turn on but flashes green light in the middle of the top speaker if i remove the battery connector and leave it for 30 sec it will be all right. PLEASE REPLY FAST
my wife's feel in a puddle and the charging port stopped working. any way I can replace it or the whole board with out buying a new phone?
hello good day, my nexus 6 has problems with the battery but now it turned off and I loaded it and turned it on but this time I do not start it just keeps loading where it says google and stays there it does not start, Do you think it's a battery problem?
