No issues with Rescuezilla or the OpenSUSE live ISOs. No luck with a SSD connected to a powered hub as expected.

I used the Aria2app to download the respective images and connected a freebie flash drive from Microcenter as well as a microSDXC card with the Inland SD card reader via an OTG cable, and EtchDroid was able to write and verify the images.

I know the github specifically says it only supports USB flash drives and SD card adapters but I tried a USB powered hub and got the expected results.

If you bork something and need rescuezilla or just conveniently have an android device at hand this is a great option. If you're on Windows or prefer using SSDs you can use Rufus or Ventoy, etc.

I used with Linux Mint 22 MATE WORKING WELL

BUT for Windows 7 it did not work

maybe because your disk use MBT(for BIOS) partitioning table because other than rufus they all automatically set to GPT (for UEFI)

What is EtchDroid?

An application to write OS images to USB drives, on Android, no root required. It burns Linux isos, Raspberry Pi ones, other Linux\Windows created images, & DMG's as well (currently this ability is in beta-status) You can use it to make a bootable GNU/Linux USB drive when your laptop is dead and you’re in the middle of nowhere. Useful tool for rescuing computer with damaged bootsector, or if you don't have any other computers near you or cd's\dvd's\USB's.
