http://androidforums.com – My MicroUSB port is broken (well, it works occasionally, but not reliably, and the fixes I've read about haven't really helped. And It's out of warranty.) I charge the battery with an external battery charger. The phone is not currently rooted and I don't have ClockworkMod Recovery on it. I do have a microSD card and microSD card reader. Is it still possible to install a custom ROM? I'm decently tech savvy but I've never rooted a phone or installed a custom ROM before. I know instructions for installing a custom ROM say you need to install ClockworkMod Recovery using a USB cable, but is i (General)

[Q] Vivid value 31 weeks 3 days ago

I am selling my second Vivid and not getting many offers that are not scams, I think I may have it priced too high. What do you think a fair asking price is for this phone.

The offer is a factory refurbished Vivid running the stock ROM and not rooted. The OEM wall charger and microUSB cable, a dual port USB car adapter and second microUSB cable and a 32GB microSD card.

So I had my phone rooted and everything was fine. And when I tried to flash another Rom onto it my phone got bricked. I fixed it back to stock. I rooted my phone again but I can't seem to get the custom recovery back on it from the "All In One Recovery" thread.

Dear developers/experts user I had my htc tattoo phone rooted and installed clockworkmod recovery (by Maverix) but when he tried to install custom ROM from SDCARD after opening and verifying update package the recovery says

Background: I am still on ICS 4.0.4 rooted and unlocked (atleast ez unlock says im unlocked and i have superuser and voodoo says im still rooted) .

However, when I try to flash a custom recovery , ROM manager gets stuck at 100 % and closes. I have also tried installing a custom recovery via EZ recovery, and it says its flashed.

hello excuse me . I'm new to xda .

I'm getting a new microSD card for my Triumph and I'm wondering if I will still be able to boot into CWM after switching SD cards. Basically, was the recovery.img saved on the phone's internal memory or on the SD card? Also, if I copy and paste my nandroid backup from my old SD card to my new one, will I still be able to successfully restore it? Any info would be greatly appreciated. :)

Cant reboot into custom recovery! 33 weeks 10 hours ago

I rooted my phone by odin method . Flashing clockwork mod recovery over stock recovery . And somehow I was able to install Superuser. But now when I try to reboot in recovery it takes me to stock recovery mode not custom recovery. I tried both recovery and they work for a while and after some time they dont. Why is this happening ? Su is working fine and I m on UVLH2 .

With all this OTA talk, I've been getting many questions about accepting and OTA while stock rooted.

IF you are stock rooted, you can't get an OTA update because you most likely have a custom recovery installed (Clockworkmod). To accept this OTA, you will need to install the STOCK recovery.
