Just bought an iphone 8 plus for cheap with the brocken back glass being the only issue. Im not super advanced but Ive done lots of phpne repairs myself and felt pretty confidentabout replacing the glass only myself until watching some videos and people warning you can completely mess the phone up? Is it worth it? What things do I need to look out for if attempted? I would just throw a case on it but a good amount of glass is alreasy missing from it.
The way it’s adhered makes it genuinely near impossible for beginners, sadly. Apple glues it onto the back of the frame in such a way you need to burn the paint and adhesive off ($$$) or use liquid nitrogen ($$). This is not for beginners, as you learned the hard way. For a new DIYer, buy a good OEM back that color matches, and transfer the SIM tray over so the IMEI on the board matches the tray. However, if you insist on trying, take the components and battery out so at least if you trash the back, you can buy a used OEM one and make it like nothing happened.
