Tilling over plywood in a shower

Hi there guys I am a tiler myself and to be honest very rare Tilling on plywood walls actually just a few times in small areas like kitchens but never a shower. The problem is that the tiles needs to be replaced as the old ones are popping out and the guy said that there was some tanking done and he wants this time the job done proper. Is a looft conversation exterior wall acutually both shower walls in a corner of the room and he said that the builders used some exterior panels outside than some insulation and inside plywood. I told him that we need to identify why the tiles are coming off and I know that plywood is not suitable for wall tilling especially shower. In the same time I said I will search the best way to fix the problem in the shower ( the odd thing is that only in the shower are coming off ). I mean not that odd as the temperature and moist and condensation is there and probably the thin wall temperature difference popped out the tiles. What do you suggest ? Acording that I will have to take out the actual popping tiles and replace just the tiles in the shower but finish flush with the ones left and right corner I was thinking about thin Hardy board and waterproof ( but that will push me out to much and I'll get in trouble finishing flush with the other tiles around and the taps of the shower) Or a schluter waterproofing membrane and kit and tile over Definitely using some great Keraquick adhesive for this job I am open to suggestions from professionals The job wasn't done by me ...
