I'm also here to reply and say that this is like the only video on UA-cam detailing specifically how to disassemble this exact Moto Stylus phone, and thanks to this, I was able to replace my phone screen as well! Thumbs up, and thanks!
Great video and thank you so much! Clear and concise without any fluff. I've never taken a phone apart before but I wasn't going to spend $200+ having a professional replace the screen on this $180 device, lol. So I bought a $50 screen on Amazon and spent 1.5 hours fixing it myself.
Thanks and you're welcome :)
Thank you for this! I had to replace my battery, after 16 months (ugh), but the video was very helpful for my nerves, so I knew what I had to do to get to the battery!
Where'd you get the battery?
The best repair video I've ever seen, you sir just earn a new sub.
Thanks!
Thanks a million. Replaced a coworker screen with this guide. Psa you don't gotta remove the motherboard to change screens. Hope this helps others
Glad it was of help 🙂
Thank you so much, I'm just getting ready to attempt that
Great job as usual! Thanks for doing these videos!
Thank you and you're welcome
You all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost my password. I would love any help you can offer me
@Cooper Kane Instablaster :)
@Frederick Maximiliano I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Frederick Maximiliano It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass !
very detailed, great tutorial
Thanks!
Thank you for this very helpful and informative video. I just successfully replaced the screen on my wife's Moto and used your video as a reference.
You're welcome, glad it was of help! 👍
It would be awesome if somebody invented a dual speaker part for this phone
Thanks man i built the phone I'm using now thanks to u
you're welcome :)
I have to replace the glass lens cover on my rear facing camera I got it in the mail today and because of your video I'm going to be able to do it fairly easy thank you for the video keep on doing the good work
You're welcome. The outer glass camera lens cover is held down with adhesive so you can heat it up and pry the glass portion off if you don't want to pry off the back plate. Also if you need any replacement parts for this phone or adhesive etc. they sell the original parts for this phone at mobiledefenders.com
Just did this today, and this was the most helpful bit of the internet to do so.
Did you do it? How?
Alex, read the 2 other comments
nice, good teardown,keep it up brooo
Thank you!
Love this video. I just got the phone replacing Lg Stylo 4. What a sweet phone. But when is parts going to be availble for the 2021 version? Ty
Shouldn't be too long, usually takes about 2-3 months for them to start showing up.
@@PBKreviews I hope I bought without that extra insurance.
Can we use acetone to remove the old battery, and does the new battery need fresh adhesive?
PS, thank you so much for this! This is more than a helpful service; for some it's an absolute lifesaver 🧡
Thank you!
I replaced my C port and headphones jack board. Maybe my 5th phone I have worked on.
FYI if you do this board make sure you restart phone a few times and give it time to reset your network.
Thought I had a bad board for a bit.
You're welcome and thanks for the info.
I’m having network stability issues after replacing this same board , any tips ?
Hey Justin how do I Remove the STYLUS PEN stuck in the wrong way now it won't come out. Spring still works but It just doesn't come out. What do I do?
Question,
The small black wire that runs from the top, down the side and snaps on at the bottom? can that thing that it snaps onto at the top be replaced or can i solder the wire to the spot still? I cant afford a new phone or repair so i fix it myself but this is a little different
That connector should be replaceable if you can find a replacement from another phone or something and if your soldering knowledge or skills are good enough to do that type of work. As far as just soldering the wire to it, not sure I would assume it would work.
Can I use a used USB port to replace it? My phone hasn't been working and I wanted to know
Any ideas to fix stuck in volume buttons? Not sure how or y, never had this problem but I now have 2 push hard to change volume and then it sticks for a bit, it's either 0% or 100% volume unless I change it on screen
The button seems sunk in and does not spring back like b4
anything else that would be a good alternative to the plastic pry tool?
Nice
What adhesive do you use and how long will i need to apply heat to the back of the phone to take the cover off
Here is a link to a video I did on adhesive ( ua-cam.com/video/T4iiPUIM7-Y/v-deo.html ) and you can use a hair dryer to gradually heat the back plate evenly and get a pry tool in between the back plate and frame to work your way around prying it off. You can apply more heat as needed during the process but hot enough to the touch should be fine, no need to over heat.
ty
You're welcome
If I just want to replace cracked glass screen is still good can I pry it off the front and put the new glass on?
No, the glass is fused with the screen, the complete screen assembly needs to be replaced. Only factories with special tools and machines can properly defuse and remove the outside glass and replace it without damaging the screen or "mickey mousing" a new glass on with touch or other problems etc.
Any advice for this phone not turning on? Volume and power button not responding and when the charger is connected, only a white blinking light starts. No charging symbol.
white blinking means battery is completely drained and its attempting to charge. Let it charge for 5 to 10 min and it should turn on. If not, then its a bad battery probably.
I tore my Graphite pad a bit. sigh. I am guessing from what I have read its important for temp. reasons. I am curious where I could find them to buy? I am struggling to find it.
It's not an easy part to find. If you tore it a bit, its fine. It helps transfer some heat but phone will still work without it. You can also use one from another phone if its similar in shape/size etc.
i can’t seem to get the back plate off after heating it up. any tips?
You may need to use a smartphone suction tool to help you make leverage to get a pry tool in between to help you pry off. If not you can use a thin razor blade but that would scratch up your housing.
Hey bro the video was really helpful but I have a problem my microphone doesn't work nor my fingerprint sensor after my disassembly could you give me any tips on how to fix that?
Fingerprint sensor, check and make sure the finger print flex cable is connected properly to the main board. As for the mic, make sure the flex cable connecting the main board to the sub board is connected as well. Aside from that, not sure.
Where can I get replacement battery for the phone?
Ever since I got this phone on launch. It's been the best cheap phone that I've used. Still holding strong through 2022. I had one incident were my charging port on my phone broke. How hard would that be to replace? Is it possible to upgrade the port or does it have to be an exact replacement? Because I had it professionally repaired. For some reason they put an old type c port in. It took away the phones ability to turbo charge. Plus I can't use anything type c through USB. Like type c earphones for example. It only charges normal speed and that's it. Even with the proper charger and cable. If anyone knows what I can do. Please let me know.
You would need the charge port assembly and not just the usb c port. You can look at this link and check with them to see when they will have it in stock or check other places to find it, but make sure you get the one for your correct model ( either xt2115 or xt2131 , you would need to check which your phone is ). www.mobiledefenders.com/motorola-repair-parts/g-series/g-stylus-2021-xt2115.html?
@@PBKreviews It's the XT2115-1
Do you know where I can get the screen replacement for this phone?
Hi here is a link for one. amzn.to/2RI8UXo
Hopefully I'll never have to use this video for my G Stylus 2021.
Yup! but if ever anything happens, you can get the parts on mobiledefenders.com
I made a mistake, and thought the top microphone hole was the sim card release (like older Motorola phones like the G7). Is it likely I destroyed the top mic after pushing in the removal tool? Thanks
Hi, no you should be fine, the mic sits above or bellow the hole so it wont be damaged.
@@PBKreviews Thanks so much. I didn't feel anything give/break when I put the pin in. And so far, sound quality on both sender and receiver are good. Thanks!
@@RideByNight no problem :)
Literally just bought this phone today then 30 min later, as I get out of the car it slips through my hands and shatters on the concrete, this is the only video I could find on this type of phone, but I still have no idea how to change the screen. Do I have to go through the whole phone yo get to the screen, or can I just go straight for the screen?
Oh that sucks. Ya you would need to take the phone apart to get to the screen. You can go to this link (www.mobiledefenders.com/motorola-repair-parts/g-series/g-stylus-2021-xt2115.html ) and they have all the parts for the phone. You will need the LCD frame assembly and the adhesive (back cover) part since you will need that pre cut original adhesive to re apply your back plate to the phone. The screen assembly will come complete with the frame, so you would basically need to move over all your parts like the mother board, battery, front facing camera and speakers etc. to the new frame with pre installed screen. You can order any additional parts you may need from that website. Hope it helps, if you have any other questions, let me know.
@@PBKreviews yes thank you this helps
hey man thanks 50 bucks for a screen and your video and my phone is fixed .. your eight it wasn't easy took me a couple hours but saved me a few hundred
You're welcome, glad it helped!
I recently have this phone smoke up from being plugged into my car after with it wouldn’t charge so I replaced the charging port chip, it charges but not won’t keep mobile network but will work on wifi ...any idea what may have broken?
It could be a number of things. Maybe the sub board or charger port board is damaged and needs to be changed since it has antenna contacts on it. Also make sure the plastic covers are in place properly since those have antenna lines drawn through them as well.
@@PBKreviews in my many temps I failed after getting it damn near perfect , but because of family situations I had to buy a new one today but I'ma still go back and fix it as I love the challenge but thank you I'll look into it more and let you know
Great video!! Does anyone know what the part number is to the original factory OEM Motorola charge port daughter board? All of the aftermarket ones are junk and do not have any service with 4 G internet after replacement. I can't find one anywhere!!
Thanks. Here is a link for the replacement parts. Scroll down you will see the sub boards. Keep in mind, you want to make sure to order the correct model version that's for your phone. For example if your model number is XT2115-3 you want to make sure you get the same model variant, since the -3 is the region code and different region versions will have different antenna contacts causing service issues. Also keep in mind there is a 5G variant of this in a separate section on that website, so if yours is the 5G version, search for that one instead. www.mobilesentrix.com/replacement-parts/motorola/g-series/g-stylus-g-pro-xt2115
@@PBKreviews Thank you!! I have model: XT2115DL (DL means?) I really do Appreciate it man!! (Subscribed) Thanks!!
@@PBKreviews Thanks! Also, there was a black round grommet type gasket that fell out when I pulled up the mother board and front facing camera. Do you by chance recall where does the rubber round grommet gasket goes to? I can't seem to locate the original/ orientation / location. Thank you!
Ever since the company did upgrade on my moto g stylus my redial stop working , drop calls, people can't hear me sometimes when I call them. How can I fix this?
Hmm you can try backing up your data and doing a factory reset (factory reset will erase all your data and info). Aside from that you would need to possibly wait for a new software update.
Replacement screen for this cellphone link please ?
they have it at mobiledefenders.com
Do The Samsung W21 5G.
I replaced the screen but now the new screen wont turn on. I just feel a vibrate but now image. What is wrong?! I cant figure it out.
Make sure the replacement is not defective (sometimes replacement screens can be defective and not work). Plug your old screen in and see if that one lights up and works. Also make sure you did not damage any components or chips around the screen connector etc. You can also check mobiledefenders.com for original replacement parts.
What does the white wire cable do?
usually those coaxial cables are used for antenna connections or sometimes charging detection etc.
@@PBKreviews Is it bad if I damage one?
Those are generally WIFI or Bluetooth related and yes its bad to damage it.
Do they have replacement screen for this ?
yes, you can check mobiledefenders.com for parts for this phone.
With how the build is very similar to older phones with replaceable batteries this should have at least had clips on the back and not glue. Also the fact that they didn't is just sad for quick battery replacements.
Ha ha, I think your name 'Snoop" is the answer. Phone companies started making it almost impossible to remove the battery after the CIA found out that Osama was removing the battery in his phones so he and his men could not be tracked. Many people think that the reasons companies made it hard to remove the battery is to force people to buy a new phone when the battery dies. No that is not the reason, it's because the GOVERNMENT intimidated them to do that so they (CIA, NSA, etc.) can track us, and spy on us via emails, the mic and camera, etc.
Can I replace my front glass without removing the back of the phobe
the glass is adhered to the screen, you would need to replace the entire screen assembly.
Can you help me out with finding a replacement screen for this cellphone ? with a link
Here is a link. You can find all the parts you need for this phone here: www.mobiledefenders.com/motorola-repair-parts/g-series/g-stylus-2021-xt2115.html?
@@PBKreviews if you could find replacement screen for this cellphone I need to replace it
I NEED a video on how to JUST replace the battery? I have watched other of your videos and it seems you take a lot of stuff off (doing a disassembly of the phone), that is not necessary to just remove the battery? But I don't know?
Please I only need to replace the battery on a Moto G Stylus 2021, which does not have the fingerprint reader on the back of the phone. THANK YOU, Ron
You would need to heat up and remove the back plate, remove the screws on the top plastic cover and remove that, then peel off the graphite film over the board or lift it up so you can disconnect the battery cable from the main board. Then you need to use isopropyl alcohol and apply some to the sides of the battery and let it sit for 30 seconds so it eats away at the adhesive underneath making it easier to pry the battery off. You can apply more isopropyl alcohol if needed while prying it off. There is a link in the description for the isopropyl alcohol.
@@PBKreviews Thanks PBK, I figured that when I get the back off I could figure it out, but a visual would be nice too. Also looking at my phone I'm not sure where I must start to get the back off? Mine almost looks like it all on piece?
I had the exact same problem! I realize now, to unsnap the battery cable that plate and all its little screws have to come off. But does the new battery need fresh adhesive?
@@coughdropkemp5483 Yeah, I finally came to the same conclusion by watching the video another time! ! ! That is BAD and stupid. Just to screw the customer and force him/her to pay the mfr. to install a new battery or buy a new phone!!
Yes the battery will need some kind of adhesive to secure the battery. See his follow up. I saw somewhere he mentions that in in one of his answers? And if you click on the word MORE above he added links to two different adhesives he tried?
My volume buttons fell off after this but the guy said he was no where near volume button when he changed my charging port.
Can you just use very small amount of super glue for front and maybe battery..??
You can find parts for this phone here: www.mobilesentrix.com/catalogsearch/result/?form_key=st7yLX0HUpYr1Fs6&q=xt2115 and its not recommended to use super glue. If you ever needed to do other repairs, it would make it really hard to take apart again or it can damage parts etc.
On the last vacation my son drop the phone on the pool ...we take it out and let it dry a couple of days ....but no luck ..... from where should i start replacing? Mother board ?
first thing always in that case is to not try and power on the phone, take it apart and disconnect the battery as soon as possible to reduce the chance of shorting etc. Once you take it apart you need to dry it out and brush off any corrosion with a small brush like a tooth brush from chips or connectors. Then you can re assemble and try to power on to see if it will work. If not you need to figure out which part is bad or if multiple parts (screen, battery, board etc). From there you would replace whichever you need to get it back up and running.
The volume button is broken and fell out of mine could you tell me where I could order a new one? The other replacement parts link does not have this phone on that website
You might need the entire lcd frame assembly, not sure if they sell the buttons by itself. You can check this website or ebay. www.mobiledefenders.com/motorola-repair-parts/g-series/g-stylus-2021-xt2115.html
I cant hear out of the earpiece for some reason.
Where's the internal storage located?
It's soldered onto the motherboard under one of the covered shields.
Could I take the battery for the moto G Stylus 5G and put it in this phone?
The 5g has a 5000mah battery, and this one has a 4000mah, but the phones seem to be identical in size and shape.
Hi, no the larger battery would not fit in the battery compartment. The phone size may be similar, but internally the allocated spot for the battery is smaller in size on the g stylus compared to the g stylus 5g.
@@PBKreviews okay, thank you
@@histguy101 You're welcome
So wait.. do I not have to apply glue on new screen ? I just have to put glue on back cover ?
If you get a screen with frame combo which comes with the screen pre attached, then no you don't need any new adhesive for the screen. But if you get a screen replacement that is just the screen with no frame, then yeah you would need to apply new adhesive or b-7000 glue to adhere it to the frame.
HELP ME PLEASE 😭 Do you know how to remove a STUCK STYLUS PEN from the Motorola g stylus2021 ?
You might need to take it apart and remove the cover from the inside to gain access to it.
@@PBKreviews THANKS I was really hoping it would not come to this. Apparently I am the only one who has ever had their pen stuck in this phone 😅
I have the same problem. The stylus pen got stuck in the phone. I chewed the bottom of it off trying to get it out with a tweezers and then a needle nose pliers. Did you ever get yours out? Any tips?
Is there a place to insert a MicroSD card in that phone? AND What is the largest MicroSD card it will take? 512GB?
Yes it has a slot on the sim tray, and the max is 512GB microSD.
@@PBKreviews Thank you for responding!
Wow first to Comment
poco x3 pro please
The main board doesn't come out that easy. You had probably previously opened the phone
Cant put it back together :/
what are you having trouble on?
I figured it out but now I cracked my screen so I'm going to try to fix it.
these phones are starting to be cheap at dollar general, doesn't matter what carrier it is, just change the mother board.
Are you armenian?
yup
@@PBKreviews ok, click this link, this guys voice is EXACTLY the same as yours. He is also Armenian. You'll be surprised 😮 😏
