Root Problem with Recovery

[flspnr]

I just rooted my phone and I'm having a problem with Amon's Recovery. Following the steps from this thread, http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/53963-guide-stock-1-5-latest-root-2-1-a.html, I finally got it to go through without the low memory problem. After this, I tried running "db shell reboot recovery" as well as turning the phone off and restarting it by holding volume up and power to boot into recovery to load a custom rom. When I do either, it just shows the skateboarding droids, and stays on that (has been there 4 min so far this try), until I do a battery pull. What am I doing wrong?

When typing in the stuff to the command prompt, this is what it looks like:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>cd c:\androidsdk\tools

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push recovery.img /sdcard

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell reboot recovery

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>

Did I miss something? Thanks!!

Anyone?

What is it supposed to say when I type everything into the command prompt? Does it say anything to let me know when it's successful? I'm not thinking I can load a custom rom until I get this, and I really really want to, but I'm getting pretty frustrated. I'm sure it's something simple I missed, but I can't figure it out.

NVM! Directions are missing a step. Got it loading a new rom now!

EDIT: I didn't see you had gotten working already lol I have to learn to read everything and not just skim through it lol
Ok simple fix ...
You didn't flash the recovery.
Follow these directions its far simpler than running grdlocks...its kind of outdated,

III: Flashing a Custom Recovery
Flashing a custom recovery will make your life easier when flashing ROMs in the future.

1. Download the Recovery file from down below.

2. Move the recovery.img file to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK.

3. Open up a command prompt and go to your tools directory, and execute these commands:

WINDOWS USERS

From your tools directory in the sdk do the following command

adb reboot bootloader

You will have FASTBOOT highlighted in red like it is here

Now on your computer do the following

Fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img

Ok after that completes pull the battery then power back up with Vol Up + Power to enter recovery

and the command to reboot was wrong
it should be

adb reboot recovery

EDIT:just change this Fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img to the corresponding name of your recovery. like
Fastboot flash recovery yourrecoveryname.img

Thanks anyways, hopefully your post will help future noobs like me! That was exactly what I was missing. Now to find the perfect Rom!
