Hello everyone,

So I decided just to go ahead and put a custom rom on the Triumph, its been a year or so since I last rooted a device. First time trying to do this on a Motorola device. I went to the guide and tried to download ClockworkMod Recovery, its suppose to be a zip file but when its downloaded it prompts me to use a disk as its a image file? No option to unzip and place on desktop, what gives?:confused:

Take the recovery.img out of the .zip using 7zip or winrar. And go from there.
 
It's detected as image file because your operating system detects .img as pictures. Just put the .img file onto the phone & follow rest of directions.

you have to download and flash gapps as well. And it has to be right after you flash cm7-reloaded. So flash cm7, then flash gapps the same way then reboot.
