Final Thoughts
Using Magisk, KernelSU, and OrangeFox Recovery to root your Realme GT 7T provides many customizations and features such as remove bloatware, install mods, Google Camera on your GT 7T and create backups but voids your warranty and may cause your banking app to stop working (or cause play integrity to be disabled) if done incorrectly. Therefore, please ensure all of your information is backed up, that you have downloaded the appropriate firmware files, and make sure you read and complete each step in this guide before proceeding.
If you encounter any problems during the process, go through the prerequisite steps again, check your init_boot image patching again, and visit some of our other Realme root guides on the page above for additional assistance and/or guidance.
