Just copy the recovery file to your sd card and install it from terminal on your android. It's easier and for sure to work. I think I couldn't get abd to work either so I think it's why I just used the terminal emulator.
open terminal
type: su
hit enter
allow root to terminal
type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
hit enter
when prompt returns type: reboot recovery
hit enter

Make sure recovery.IMG is in the root of your micro SD card, this means don't put it in a folder, follow instructions to the point and you should have cwm. Also make sure that you are rooted with supersu and have terminal emulator from the play store.
ok i have an update I ended up installing the unofficial cwm 0.6.something lol going by the directions with the emulator from play store and was successful thank you all for the help and also i have flashed Droidsmith and love it i would suggest it for anyone that wants a custom rom you all have been a great help and i thank you all for every thing you all are great !!!! :smokingsomb:
