I would suggest you all to take a backup of existing ROM by going to Backup and Restore and Then Tapping on ” Create Backup on External SD Card”. Do not tap on Create backup at SD card as it will create a backup in internal storage and hence consume memory of apps storage and hence less storage for apps.

This means that you have not yet installed the recovery successfully! So you can repeat the same procedure! Make sure that you have installed the drivers!
