Benefits and Risks of Installing OrangeFox
Once you flash a custom recovery like OrangeFox, you’ll be in a position to flash ZIP and IMG files. So this automatically checkmarks all the custom ROMs, Mods, and even the Magisk ZIP for obtaining root. Once you have obtained root, you will be able to flash Magisk Modules, Xposed Framework, and Substratum Themes. Along the same lines, you could also take a backup of all the partitions on your device using its Nandroid Backup feature. However, this is just one side of the story.
OrangeFox flashing requires an unlocked bootloader. Doing so will wipe off all the data and could nullify the warranty as well. Likewise, SafetyNet will also be triggered, which will result in the inability to use banking apps [FIX: how to pass SafetyNet].

If all this is well and good, then let’s get started with the steps to install the recovery on your device.
