I did the follwoing:
fastboot -i 0x2970 erase recovery
fastboot -i 0x2970 flash recovery /Users/xxxx/Desktop/androidtools1/cm-13.0-20160418-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2NN-crackling-recovery.img
fastboot reboot

all went well- terminal reported ok

then reboot into recovery mode to install the cm13.zip file - failed!
device does not boot into recovery. I get black screen and dead device.
device comes back to life after battery is out and in again.
so no recovery mode menu.
any ideas what to do next?

normally I just do
Code: 
fastboot flash recovery <recovery-image-file>
Also how do you attempt to boot recovery?
- VolDn+Pwr ?
- adb reboot recovery ?
What if you flash stock recovery or twrp?

do you actually write <recovery-image-file> ??
I thought the actual .img file needs flashing. ??
either way - VolDn+Pwr and adb. = black screen dead device.
I thought cm-13.img is stock recovery. I downloaded it from cyanogen
twrp needs rooted device. I am trying to instal the OTA update from 12.1 to 13.0 and it doesn't work. and i was advised to un-root my device.
so now i have a un-rooted device but with no recovery.
arrrghhh

if you unpack cm-13.0-ZNH0EAS2NH-crackling-signed-fastboot-2306277a34.zip from cyngn.com you may try to flash stock COS 13.0 as follows:

Code: 
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash hyp hyp.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img 
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img
