Tipatch patches TWRP to allow for full data backups

Many of us in the XDA community us the most popular custom recovery, TWRP. It's mainly used for flashing, but some people also use it for backing up data. Sure, you can back up your app data, boot, system, etc. But, it has one problem: you can't back up your internal storage by default. So, users of TWRP have used other methods for backing up their photos, videos, and more. These methods were most probably adb or MTP.

One might think that internal storage is an essential addition to the so-called full backup. XDA Senior Member kdrag0n thought so and made a useful application called Tipatch that patches TWRP to allow full data backups, including internal storage. For the Tipatch to work, it first has to emulate internal storage as a part of the data partition. As you may know, TWRP already backs up the data partition, so you'll now be able to make a truly full backup.

What's more interesting is that the application works on both rooted and non-rooted devices. If you're rooted and already have a recovery installed, the application will patch the recovery for you in one tap. But, if you're unrooted, the application will patch the image of TWRP, which you can download from the official website.

The developer said that the application works for virtually all devices. He tested some devices on all possible system-on-chips, including Snapdragon, Exynos, Kirin, and MediaTek. If you have any problem with the application, you can always report bugs and ask for help in the XDA forum thread. You can download the application from Google Play as well as XDA Labs. Both of the links are below.
