Your phone. Your drive.

Prepare it.
Keep it ready.

Vendroid works directly with external USB storage. The bundled Ventoy payload lets you use the core tools offline.

Install Ventoy

Set up a fresh MBR layout with an exFAT data partition. Review the selected drive and options before confirming.

Update an existing drive

Use a compatible bundled or previously downloaded payload to update a supported Ventoy installation.

Inspect and repair

Reconnect a drive to detect its Ventoy installation and use the repair tools for supported layouts.

From phone
to bootable drive.

You prepare the USB drive on Android, then boot it on a compatible computer.

What you need

  • Android 6.0 or later
  • A phone or tablet with USB host support
  • An external USB mass-storage drive
  • A USB OTG adapter or cable, if needed
  • A drive up to 2 TiB for stable MBR installs

USB compatibility and power requirements vary by device and drive. Internal SD card slots are not supported.

  1. Get the app

    Check the GitHub releases page for a published APK. No public APK release is listed yet. Android may ask you to allow installation from your browser when a release is available.

  2. Back up and connect

    Copy anything you want to keep off the drive. Connect it to your Android device, using an adapter if needed.

  3. Review, then install

    Choose Install Ventoy, grant Android USB permission, and check the selected drive. A fresh installation erases that drive after you confirm.

  4. Add images and try a boot

    Copy supported boot image files to the USB data partition, then test it on your computer. Compatibility depends on the image and the computer’s firmware.

Know your channel.

Stable and beta use the same Vendroid app package. Installing beta replaces the stable app.

A few useful answers.

Have another question?
contact@fhas.sa

Does Vendroid need root?

No. Vendroid uses Android USB permission to work with supported external USB mass-storage devices.

Can I use it without internet?

Yes. The bundled Ventoy payload and previously downloaded compatible payloads work offline. Checking for or downloading a newer payload is optional and contacts GitHub.

Does installing Ventoy delete my files?

A fresh install erases the selected USB drive. Back up first. Keep backups before updating or repairing an existing installation as well.

Can I use an internal SD card?

No. Vendroid supports external USB drives. Android does not expose internal SD card slots to the app as writable block devices.

Can my phone act as the bootable USB?

No. Vendroid prepares an external USB drive. Phone-as-USB mode is not included.

Do offline features require an age check?

No. Offline USB operations are available without an age entry. Optional GitHub features use a local eligibility check under GitHub’s service terms. The birth date is not saved or sent. See the privacy policy for details.
