Well, I know you are going for brevity rather than an exhaustive explanation, but something continues to mystify me about what seems to be missing between your steps #2 and #3.

The root exploit which this method uses requires a normal OS boot for the rooting operation to take place - the custom recovery boot partition can not be overwritten until this happens. Now, I never used the one-click app, and it may well be possible that "clicking the button" causes an immediate reboot to take place, in which case, from an operational point of view the user is not "doing" anything. On the other hand, if you want people to follow along your instructions, it is good to let them know what they should expect to see happening. In that case, an additional sentence such as

"The phone will automatically reboot after "pressing the button"; wait for the reboot to completely finish, and then power the phone off as you normally would before continuing to the next step."
