    Blackra1n will work, but you can’t turn off your phone and turn it back on.

    If your phone turns off, you NEED to connect to a computer and run blackra1n and click “Make it rain” again, to boot up your phone. It’ts ok if your battery never runs out and you never need to turn off your phone or reboot it.
