Title. I've tried using dd but it doesn't work -- the .img file is written but it does not boot. Thanks in advance.

Your gonna need to provide a lot more information, because what your saying sounds very wrong.

Is the img file an android OS? What are you hoping to boot it on?

AFAIK, no phone can boot from external USB, so what exactly are you trying to do?
