[Q] Problems booting into recovery

---

I am pretty sure I have followed the directions for installing CWD correctly but I cannot boot into recovery from "Power Off" state. This is a cut-and-paste of my ADB session. Everything looks OK right?

Thanks for any help.

# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096

I did the power+downvolume+3D multiple times. And then it finally worked AFTER I unplugged my phone from my laptop(it was low on battery and I didn't want to have it power off in the middle of flashing).

Thanks for your help!

Cant flash ClockworkMod Recovery

---

When i type the dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096 to flash over the clockworkmod, into my command promt it says 'cannot open for read: No such file or directory' and i dont know what im doing wrong.

I mean everything else seemed to workout fine. i downloaded the recovery image it said to save it but it was already saved to my computer after i downloaded it so i dont know if this could be the problem.

Then i used the adb push recovery.img/data command to push the recovery image to my phone, i think this might be where i messed up. After i put in the command a long list of text pops up on the command prompt. It starts out showing 'Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26' then is followed by a long list of adb commands. Idk know if this is what its supposed to show.

Next i did the adb shell, su, dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096 command and that worked fine it said 2560+0 records out, 2560+0 records in 10485760 bites transfered in 0.413 secs and i actually found that file on my sdcard. So i think i did that right.

Next i tried to use the command 'dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096' and like i said earlier it just says 'cannot open for read: No such file or directory'

Lastly i tried the rm /data/recovery.img command and it said rm failed for /data/recovery.img, No such file or directory in the command prompt.

Im sorry i am new at this but i thought i followed the directions perfectly and any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.

I did this the exact same way and got the directory not found or no such directory. I have the recover.img file but when I type in dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096 to flash it just doesn't work. What am I doing wrong or where do I need to put the recovery.img after downloading?

Recovery.img needs to be in
/sdcard
