What a Ventoy drive looks like

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

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

|---|---|---|
| Partition layout | MBR | GPT support |

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 uses the Vendroid update mirror. The app verifies each download against its published SHA-256.
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.
Does Vendroid ask for my age?
No. Vendroid does not ask for, store, or send your age or birth date. Optional update downloads use the Vendroid mirror, whose hosting providers retain ordinary connection information. See the privacy policy for details.
