Root [GUIDE] How to install custom recovery with broken USB port

Required:
root access
busybox
terminal emulator
custom recovery (recovery.img) already extracted if obtained in flashable zip form.

-If you are bone stock, busybox and terminal emulator are available from play store for free.

If your Triumph has not been rooted, you will need to do that first.
To acquire root access in terminal emulator type:

ln -s /system/xbin/sudo /system/bin/su
ln -s /system/xbin/sudo /system/xbin/su



Extract recovery.img from the flashable zip, to the root of SD card (you can put it elsewhere but for this example, that's where I put it)

I'll explain the lines in parenthesis

In terminal emulator at $ prompt, type:


Su
(for superuser permission. should get # prompt)

mkdir /sdcard/mobile

(makes the directory "/mobile" on SD card)

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard/mobile

(this mounts the triumph's recovery partition to the mobile directory of SD card)

cp /sdcard/recovery.img /sdcard/mobile/image

(this line copies the previously extracted CWM recovery.img to the proper directory of mounted partition, over-writing stock recovery. Proper procedure would be to rename original first as back up. If you didn't put the recovery.img in the ROOT of the sd card, then you must change:
/sdcard/recovery.img to the proper path.)

umount /sdcard/mobile

(unmounts the recovery partition)

reboot recovery

(hopefully reboots into CWM recovery so you can check it)
