How to download and Install OrangeFox Twrp V3.3.1 for Xiaomi Redmi 8 (Olive)

The Redmi 8 recently received its own official Twrp recovery and as most of us already know, Twrp has a lot more functions and features compared to stock Mi recovery, like ability to flash unofficial firmwares, custom ROMs and more.

Now, an XDA users who goes by the name Altsec has just ported an unofficial Orangefox custom recovery for the Redmi 8. OrangeFox is based on the popular Twrp recovery but with a whole lot more features.
