1. Install flash image gui
-Go to settings>application>check unknown resources
-Use a file manager (get on from Google Play if you don't have one already) and browse to where you put flash image gui on your sd card>select it>install it. Put all this stuff on your microSD card if you haven't already...
-Open flash image gui and browse to where you put the cannibal recovery, select it, flash it>reboot Make sure non of this stuff was downloaded over 3G, it must be downloaded with wifi, if you haven't you may brick.

Yes, ROM is read only memory, its actually should be called an OS (operating system) but we call it rom because it is on the phones ROM....yes to the last thing.
So basically I can do everything on my phone. Install new ROMS. Backup my phone,etc. How does this work on phones without sd cards like the galaxy nexus?

Go to the top of the all things root page and read the sticky the truth about rom manager
posted by Andy Opie 150. If you read this you should be able to fix the black screen problem,get a custom recovery and flash a new rom.
If you have any problems just ask,someone will help.

As soon as I put the USB cable, the phone screen shows the LG logo instead of battery charging and then no key combination works to get me into emergency mode. Any tips?
