I thought you had to root the phone to install graphene?
IIRC, no. You unlock the bootloader to install, re-lock, and enjoy your phone.
You have to unlock the bootloader, Grapheneos doesn't support root on the official builds.
Nope, just unlock the bootloader through developer settings connect phone to USB, install through official website and lock the bootloader back. Currently only pixel phones are supported
