## Features

- Boots to TWRP and executes checkra1n with one button

- Provides DFU Instructions in App

### Instructions

- **Root Required**

	- Open the App

	- Allow root/su permissions

	- Tap the reboot button

## FAQ/Info

- **Why run in recovery?**

    - TWRP provides an environment with fewer services fighting over the USB controller. checkra1n relies on a highly controlled data flow over USB.

- **Will this work with all Android phones?**

	- No. If you could already do this manually in TWRP, yes definitely. My Nexus 5X (2015) and Mi Mix 3 (2018) both work.
