Learn how to enroll a regular Android device.

Updated over 2 months ago

The Regular Enrollment method in Trio is a straightforward approach for adding Android devices using the Trio Agent. Ideal for environments where Android Enterprise or unified methods are not applicable, this flow is commonly used for BYOD and certain custom deployments.


Step-by-Step Manual

1. Download the Trio Agent

On the Android device to be enrolled:

  • Scan the QR code or open the download link provided on the screen.

  • If using a PC, download the APK and transfer it to the Android device manually.


2. Enable Unknown Sources

  • Navigate to Settings > Security

  • Enable the "Unknown Sources" option and confirm

  • On some devices, you may need to enable this for specific apps or browsers (e.g., Chrome)

This allows the installation of apps from outside the Google Play Store.


3. Enter the Pairing Code

  • Launch the Trio Agent app on the device

  • Enter the 6-digit pairing code displayed in the "Via Code" section on your panel

  • Alternatively, scan the QR code provided for automatic entry


4. Grant Required Permissions

  • Accept all required permissions when prompted

  • On certain models (e.g., Oppo, Xiaomi, Redmi), go to:
    Settings → Apps → All Apps → Trio App → Tap 3 dots → Allow Restricted Settings

This ensures the agent can fully manage the device, including accessibility and policy enforcement.


5. Start Managing

Once paired, the device is enrolled and visible in your Device Inventory. You can now assign the device to users, apply policies, push software, and track compliance directly from the Trio panel.


Additional Option: BYOD Enrollment

At the bottom of the page, you can choose to share an enrollment email with users—a recommended step for enabling secure and guided onboarding in bring-your-own-device scenarios.


This regular enrollment method is flexible and reliable, making it suitable for a wide range of Android devices in both corporate and personal ownership models.
