disk utility – Can’t mount flash drive formatted in android device on m1 mac


I have flash drive which was formatted on quite old android phone and I want to access that data from macos. Here is diskutil output:

/dev/disk4 (external, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *124.0 GB   disk4
   1:             Windows_FAT_32                         124.0 GB   disk4s1

I guess it’s fdisk, not gpt, could this be a problem? What I tried and results:

sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk4 tmp/fat32 
mount_msdos: Unsupported sector size (0)
mount: /Users/anton_vesnin/tmp/fat32 failed with 71

 diskutil mount readOnly /dev/disk4s1          
Volume on disk4s1 failed to mount
If you think the volume is supported but damaged, try the "readOnly" option

Readonly access will be sufficient for my task, thanks in advance.
