Creating TWRP recovery ZIPs

This popup allows you to create TWRP recovery ZIPs to use in TWRP recovery.

You need to be rooted and have TWRP recovery installed on your device to use this feature.

First you need to choose where apps will be restored:

  • Internal memory (the default)
  • System (only available up-to Android 9, beyond that version, system is read only)

Next you need to specify an option to prepare files for restore:

  • Post-boot APK installation and data restore.
    • Compatible with Android up-to 12 (maybe 13)
    • Tested on a Galaxy S7 running Android 12.
  • Direct APK installation and post-boot data restore.
    • Compatible with Android 14 and above.
    • Tested on a OnePlus 9 Pro running Android 14.

Note that results may vary depending on Android variant and manufacturer.

You can select both options, but the resulting ZIP will be twice as big to be compatible with most versions of Android.

Considering TWRP becomes less and less available, it is very complicated to test all Android versions and devices. Should you use that feature, don’t hesitate to report your findings sending a request from app’s settings, help and support.
