Good news. You can switch from your couch.
I dunno about them but my phone is only at 22% battery and I can't reach the cable from where I'm sitting.
I believe in you
It's been a minute since I flashed a rom but I feel like I'm gonna need a cable and a laptop?
I installed Graphene on my last phone by using another phone (and a good cable). This time I used a computer (and another good cable), and it worked exactly the same lol (that is, perfectly).
I love Graphene
Yup that's what I read. Need a particular browser according to their guide but that's easy.
This all reminded me I should pull out my old phone first and make sure that's logged into Google before I go wiping my primary. I do have backup login codes etc. but never hurts to be prepared.
I dont think you even need that anymore, ive been on graphene for ages though its hard ro remember. I think your phone just needs enough battery or to be on a charger.
So like, unlock, reboot, download something from Graphene's site and just run it and reboot again?
If that's true damn, we really live in the future.
Edit: ah no that is not the case.

Yeah someone else replied to me and said you'd need at least another phone.
You do need a secondary device and a cable, but that device can be another phone
