Flashing custom recovery software is inherently risky. Team Win explicitly states that users take full responsibility for potential damage, such as "boot loops" or "bricking" the device. It is vital to verify that the file matches your exact model number, as flashing a file intended for a similar but different device can lead to a permanent hardware failure.
