Enroll a fully managed device

Android Enterprise offers a quick and easy way to enroll corporate devices from startup (or after a reset to factory settings), by tapping 6 times on the first screen and scanning a QR code. This enrollment method sets TinyMDM as device owner (managed by EMM), and it applies the correct configuration to the device based on the policy you defined.

Prerequisites:

  • The device must be new or reset to factory settings.
  • The device must be running Android 7.0 or higher
  • You must have a TinyMDM account with users assigned to one policy.
  • This enrollment method is not compatible with Huawei (EMUI 5 or less) and Xiaomi devices. If you have this type of devices, refer to the enrollment via afw# code.

1. On the initial startup screen, tap six times in a row anywhere on the screen (but in the same spot), and wait a few seconds. This first screen is often the language selection screen, but it may vary depending on the device manufacturer. The key is to tap six times on the very first screen that appears.

2. The device camera opens: scan the QR code visible in the admin console (or via email if it was sent to the end user). You can scan the QR code without any additional settings, or force the enrollment using mobile data (except on Android 10) or add a pre-configured Wi-Fi network from the TinyMDM console, by checking the corresponding boxes next to the QR code:

3. If you didn’t preconfigure a wifi network, you can select one, enter its password and follow the steps of the configuration wizard.

4. The device automatically downloads TinyMDM. Click Begin and accept the Terms of Use.

5. The configuration defined in the policy applies directly!
