Nitan Alexandru Marcel edited this page Sep 2, 2023 · 4 revisions

You can have a full OS on your mobile device by installing it in your PC with qemu, or virt-manager, then convert the qcow2 disk image to a bootable iso:

Convert the disk image file to a raw file

  • qemu-img convert /path/to/disk.qcow2 -O raw /output/path/to/disk.raw

Use dd to create an working iso image for IsoDrive

  • dd if=/path/to/disk.raw of=/output/path/to/disk.iso

Push the iso image on your mobile device and boot it with isodrive in read write mode

  • isodrive /path/to/disk.iso -rw
