SELF-INSTALL GUIDE
How to install PF Shield yourself.
Prepare your own compatible Pixel, install GrapheneOS, then use our Software Flash License to complete the Privacy First setup remotely.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Start with a clean GrapheneOS device.
Our security software and configuration is designed for GrapheneOS. Do not begin the Remote Flash process on a standard Android installation.

Use GrapheneOS's official web installer to install GrapheneOS on the device.

Start Remote Flash
When your device and licence are ready, open the Remote Flash portal to begin the software installation.
05
Keep the instructions open
Open the installation instructions in a separate browser tab and follow them from start to finish while completing the Remote Flash process.
READY TO CONTINUE?
Have your device and licence details beside you.
