Android Phone reboots every 30 seconds...

TWRP supports OTG so if it is stable whilst in recovery you could flash it from a hard drive or USB pen but you will need an OTG cable

Worth a try - the device stays on in recovery mode....

You stand a good chance then.
An OTG cable should only be a couple of quid too so no major cost if it doesn't work

Not played with custom roms since I had the first nexus so may not be fully up to date, but, I assume the phone is 'rooted'. If not, when I used to do this, you wont be able to use a custom rom etc.

The whole custom ROM scene has changed a lot since them Paul. I too remember when you had to gain root permissions before pushing custom recoveries and ROM's.

Most phones today don't need that anymore.
Certainly for my LG G2 I put on TWRP followed by CyanogenMod.
Then from within CyanogenMod I was able to just click a button for root access.

Certainly makes customisation far easier in my eyes.

Ah ok, fair enough, as you were
