Unfortunately if you tear the black cable you will need to replace it !!!

You’ve probably received your answer by now but for future enquirers, it does help the process of taking the screen off if heat is applied to the screen. If you have a hair Dryer use that on a low setting to heat the edges of the screen until it’s almost too hot to touch then slip very thin metal spudger around the edge to cut the adhesive. The carefully lift the screen with the help of the spudger and continue with your repair

Hi, Basically steps 6,7,9,10,11,&12 aren’t needed to remove the lcd/digitiser

In My shortcut there is no need for this step. I now follow the guide to remove the digitiser.

But basically all you need to do is heat the edge of the screen with a heat gun or hairdryer until it’s almost too hot to touch. Then work a thin metal spudger under the screen and work your way around the screen. Be careful around the home button. Use picks on the corners once you’ve loosened the grip and also the middle of the sides. Reheat if you find it difficult to continue with the spudger around the edges. Be patient and you will have success. My replacement lcd/digitiser didn't come with adhesive so i applied 3M 2mm double sided tape for the sides & 5mm double sided tape either end. if you don’t have this you could use B-7000 glue it will do the job.

I felt i didn’t need to remove the battery or take the mother board out to remove the lcd & digitiser. I did however disconnect the battery and use the tape that covers the connection to tape between the 2 connections.

I will also comment in later steps where i made shortcuts to removing the display
