No. Methane is covalent, but it is a gas.
In covalent bonds, no electrons are obtained or released. They share the bonding electrons.
"Shares electrons" is a characteristic of covalent bonds, which form covalent compounds.
Phosphorus can, in fact, exist as covalent crystals in the solid state. Phosphorus usually exists in the solid state as non-covalent crystals. Under intense pressure, however, the bonds can become covalent.
covalent bonds and molecular solids are characteristic of organic compounds

Breaking covalent bonds throughout the solid would be required to melt a network solid.
