I don't know modding stuff, if developer release a patch for poco f1 , I'll be very thankful, please help me, i love this app very much.


As we know that the oneplus series support drivedroid very well, you may ask the developers of pocophone kernel to merge the "f_mass_storage.c" file of oneplus 6t kernel and the one of pocophone kernel. The file path is "/drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_mass_storage.c". Do remember to add "#define READ_CD 0xbe "at
the "#defines". FYI :the link of oneplus6 file https://github.com/0ctobot/neutrino.../drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_mass_storage.c

this app saved my ass so many times its incredible! (i am it guy, and also the one who forgets to take usb-s with him)
i installed numerous linux and win pc-s with this and it works flawlessly still after all these years.. a true life saver and one of the most usefull apps ever
I've also installed Ubuntu Linux manyatimes with this wonderful app. But always failed to install Windows, it asks for drivers at the start of installation. Probably the installer looks for USB CD-ROM driver. Do you know how to obtain it?

What windows are you trying to install? Sounds like XP. Follow an easy2boot tutorial for creating a USB drive and then just copy that to an image file in drivedroid. I created a blank image in terminal and then used drivedroid to mount it and then I could write what I wanted to it like a USB stick

Hi, I am running Nethunter on a Nexus 5x with Nougat and the Kali kernal 3.10.73 and have not been able to host USB or CD. I'm not sure where to go or look for a solution. Does anyone else have drivedroid working on a similar Nexus 5x?

Sorry for my bad english
Hi please can anybody confirm that usb or cd drives are able to show up in windows 10 64 bit latest update, when any os is mounted from drivedroid some error message is coming while mounting with usb or cdrom on windows 10 not showing any mounted drives. But while booting it's working, not all distros are working, only slacko, porteous Linux are tested with successful boot up.

Are you using CD emulation? If yes choose the second option - pendrive.

Very useful app, congrats. Installed on AospExtended, Nexus 5. Worked nicely today performing an install on my mum's laptop.


Noticed a couple of things:
- A few mirrors didn't seem to be updated (Fedora and Linux Mint)
- Setup routine worked pretty much flawlessly.

Also, uh, is it possible to add Alpine Linux images there? Anyways, thanks again.

Hi! Thanks for this Super-Project.
My Device only shows CD-ROM on PC, and there isn't USB Mount Option. My ISO just supports USB Installation.
Can you please give me a patch for kernel
for fixing this issue? I'm using Snapdragon 425 (Samsung Galaxy J4+).
The Patch you posted in thread is for CD-ROM but I need USB one. :)

Simple Kernel 1.4 – released 6 hours ago – has DriveDroid support and I was able to boot into Kali on a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s. Need further testing, but last week when I started testing DriveDroid, it failed to boot.

Hello good people! I am using samsung a310f and I just can't make it work. InstaWizard tells me I'm fine and my pc even booted with drivedroid demo but when I try to create an image, it appears as cd-rom and I can't do anything with it. Can anyone help, please? (OS A 7.0, A310FXXU3CQL1, core version 3.10.61 - 12219145). if you need any other info i'll send it asap. Thanks in advance

Hello. EMUI5 P9Plus does not have DriveDroid support in the kernel, but in EMUI4 everything worked very well. Please tell me what needs to be fixed so that there is support for DriveDroid? The source code for the HUAWEI VIE (P9Plus) kernel for EMUI 4 and 5 I have.
