01 · Register

Label, photos and first registration with DH-scan or the DeviceHub WebForm. Each phone gets a custom_id that stays with it throughout the process.

02 · Prepare

Check charging, booting and locks before removing accounts and running the factory reset.

03 · Test

Workbench Android records the inventory and hardware tests in DeviceHub; no results are left lying around on paper.

04 · Hand over

The clean, prepared phone goes to donation. If it comes back, it re-enters through visual inspection.
