IMO, Knockoff screens are just bad quality . go to apple for screens but with water damage it's never gonna be right. Apple will sell you replacement of same device for less than new one .
I also cracked my screen with this method ,not to be outdone I bought another phone for the screen .this time I used a thin guitar pick which I ran along the edges and around the phone carefully , it took a while but eventually worked the screen loose ( the glue area is small but still strong as I learned the first time) any way when the screen is loose enough , make sure the tabs on the inside cover are also loose (using the pick) I was able to then pop out the screen and replaced the mobo I have a nice new phone now ! Bottom line is don't pry on the screen it will crack loosen it completely and it will pop out nicely . Good luck .
I'm with u Greg , I tried the hard way it's like pulling a good tooth ! Something gonna break and possible bend . Great video though exposing the hidden screw.
