I am trying to install cwm recovery through fastboot. I tried executing the command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

But I am getting the error as partition 'recovery' not support flash. Please any one help me to fix this. Whether I need to change anything on the recovery partition?

try this: first, root your device, and install root explorer. go to /system/ and delete this file "recovery-from-boot.p". use SP Flash tool, and install cwm through it. it's worked for me (lenovo a316i)
