A broken or malfunctioning rear camera on your Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus can result in blurry photos, failure to focus, or a completely black screen when opening the camera app. Replacing the camera module is necessary when software resets fail to resolve these hardware issues. With patience and the right tools, you can swap out the damaged module and restore your device to full photographic capability.
Required Tools
- 1
Power Off the Device
- Begin by completely turning off your Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Remove the SIM card tray before proceeding to avoid damaging the internal pins.
- 2
Heat the Back Glass
- The glass back of the phone is secured with strong adhesive.
- Use a heat gun or hair dryer to apply even heat around the edges of the back cover.
- Keep the tool moving to prevent overheating the battery, aiming for a temperature just warm enough to soften the glue.
- 3
Slice the Adhesive
- Place a suction cup near the bottom edge and gently pull up to create a small gap.
- Insert a plastic opening pick into the gap and slide it around the perimeter to cut the adhesive, being careful not to insert it too deeply near the camera area.
- 4
Remove the Back Cover
- Once the adhesive is fully separated, carefully lift the back glass away from the phone.
- Set it aside in a safe location where it will not get scratched or broken.
- 5
Disconnect the Wireless Charging Coil
- Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the screws securing the wireless charging coil and motherboard bracket.
- Gently lift the bracket and use a plastic spudger to disconnect the wireless charging coil connector from the motherboard.
- 6
Disconnect the Battery
- Safety is paramount, so immediately disconnect the battery flex cable using a plastic spudger.
- This ensures the phone has no power running through it while you work on the delicate camera components.
- 7
Remove the Old Camera Module
- Disconnect the flex cables for the rear camera assembly from the motherboard.
- Carefully pry the camera module out of its housing with a spudger or tweezers, taking care not to damage the surrounding motherboard components.
- 8
Install the New Camera
- Place your new Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus camera module into the housing and press it gently into place.
- Reconnect the camera flex cables securely to the motherboard, ensuring they snap in with a satisfying click.
- 9
Reconnect the Battery and Coil
- Snap the battery flex cable back into its socket on the motherboard.
- Reinstall the wireless charging coil and secure it with the Phillips screws you removed earlier.
- 10
Seal and Reassemble
- Clean any leftover adhesive from the frame using isopropyl alcohol and apply a new precut adhesive strip.
- Press the back glass firmly onto the frame and apply steady pressure for a few minutes to ensure a watertight seal.

FAQ
Will this repair compromise the water resistance of my phone?
Yes, opening the device breaks the factory waterproof seal. You must apply a new, high quality adhesive strip during reassembly, but you should still keep the phone away from liquids.
Why is my new camera failing to focus?
Ensure that the camera lens on the back glass is completely clean and free of fingerprints or dust. If the lens is clean, check that the flex cables are fully seated on the motherboard.
Do I need to transfer any parts from the old camera?
No, the replacement rear camera module typically comes as a complete unit. Just ensure you purchase the correct part specifically designed for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus.
Can I use a hair dryer instead of a heat gun?
Yes, a standard hair dryer works perfectly fine for softening the adhesive. It might just take a little longer to reach the necessary temperature compared to a dedicated heat gun.
