EtchDroid to create Ubuntu installation media
EtchDroid sounds like it meets your requirements and has a good rating and sounds safe. I gave EtchDroid a trial and had good results.
-
Downloaded and installed EtchDroid from the Google Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.depau.etchdroid&hl=en
-
Connected USB flash drive using micro USB to USB-A converter.
-
Started EtchDroid and selected "Write raw image or ISO".
-
Selected the Ubuntu ISO file
-
Selected the target USB from upper right on the screen:
-
And clicked the write icon on the lower right.
At first I thought nothing had happened but when I returned later I found that the USB was ready for a Live boot or Install.
There are similar apps that flash image files to USB using Windows including Etcher and Win32DiskImager, and from Ubuntu including Etcher, Startup Disk Creator and Gnome-Disks. This is a handy free app to have on your phone.
My only complaint is that this app will not write to an internal SD card, but I understand that this is a safety feature.
