Choosing and flashing phones

Flashing and enrolment

Answers the question How does a handset become a device in your console?

The phone has to run GrapheneOS with a locked bootloader. The server checks that when the phone first reaches it.

If the phone already runs GrapheneOS

A phone that already runs GrapheneOS needs no re-flashing. Connect the handset to a computer by cable. The connection tool creates the work profile alongside the personal side and ties the device to the Wyrd server. Photographs, messages and accounts stay where they are.

A private space is no obstacle.

If it runs something else

GrapheneOS is installed with the project's own installer – the installation instructions. Installing erases the handset completely.

Enrolment

Create the device in the console and run the two commands from the connection window on the computer the phone will be plugged into. The first downloads the connection tool from your Wyrd server, the second runs it. They need curl and Python 3.8 or newer.

Once the tool has reached the server, the console opens the connection page in a new tab. If the browser did not let it, the connection window has an Open button. From there, follow the steps on that page.

On the phone, turn on USB debugging and confirm the work profile.
