Can't get recovery working after flashing

Hello folks,
I tried to flash a custom recovery on the Dell Streak (Stock, 2.2.2 351), and according to the fastboot output the image has been written to the partition.
However, if I go into the recovery menu and select "Update from pkg", it still shows the stock Dell Menu.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm using the following code to flash StreakModRecovery or Clockwork:
sudo fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
And, like I said, it says that the image has been written to the storage. And is there another way to do nandroid backups? Like using "fastboot boot" (which doesn't work either for me, I get a "booting... FAILED (remote: invalid command)" error).
Thank you very much for your help!
Marc

URGENT HELP!! - Reflash Factory Image (Bootloader unlocked, not-rooted)

My phone is OEM unlocked but not rooted (secure boot - enable as so said in fastboot mode).
Basically my phone cannot get to bootup. It doesn't show "Google" on startup or "X" animation. it crashed yesterday and got stuck on the "X" screen animation. So tried to factory wipe and adb wipe stuff. and things gotten worse. And i need my phone urgently to work because i'm waiting for calls for job interviews. so this is an urgent request!
i tried the LG Google Nexus 4 toolkit to flash Google Stock image but i'm getting the error
"failed <remote: flash write failure>"
i can boot to Custom/Stock Recovery without Permenently Flashing it with Clockworkmod or TWRP.
i tried "update from ADB" option in Android system recovery with "adb sideload image-occam-jdq39.zip" and it's able to send it to the device, but i'm getting "Installation aborted"
I'm out of options and i'm really lost....please help!!

Can you flash a recovery using? :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
If you can, then download a rom and flash it through the recovery that you installed.

[Q] Eclair 2.1 rom

I was looking for a light 2.1 rom and found this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038337 (Lite edition)
Being a beginner, i got a few questions.
Do i need my phone flashed to V20E using .kdz beforehand? My current is V20B + fastboot.
There is kernel img provided, but iam not sure how to use it.
Which clockwork recovery do i need? As i understand 2.1 roms can only be flashed with old recoveries, such as 2.5.x.x . My current version is 3.0.2.4.
Thanks.

Img files can be flashed via fastboot commands:
on your PC type:
fastboot devices (makes sure its recognized)
fastboot -w (wipes data, cache)
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
You'll need the fastboot drivers to be installed of course

Tnx for fast reply.
But do i need V20E.kdz rom specifically and flash my phone with KDZ updater? I couldnt find working links for V20E.kdz, only A,B&C.

LG V20 only access to fastboot

Hi I've seen threads around that have the same issue is there any help I can get.
I only have access to fastboot
my device will hang on LG logo
I've tried flashing recovery and it won't boot into it
I also tried https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70393155&postcount=3 and cannot flash misc, fota, but I can flash cache
- the error i get here is " remote: cannot erase this partition in unlocked state "
-- so i locked it with fastboot oem lock and fastboot flash lock and i get the same error with it declaring a " locked state " forcing me to unlock the bootloader again
I've attempted to flash .kdz files with no luck as im in download mode and the guides even say to put in download mode and LGMobile support tool isn't able to detect phone saying it's not even plugged in.
- is there a .dll file or something i need I've read twice in two different post maybe it's typos
I ran LGMobile support tool and it fails after downloading the .kdz file (my guess) not being able to put the phone in download mode is causing it to do so
I'm running out of ideas can anyone help?

Sounds like you're using an older version of fastboot. Try this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/bc1k1lol9nudy68/fastboot.zip?dl=0

Explain the steps you undertook to flash TWRP via fastboot.
If you haven't used the following,
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.xxxxxxx.img
fastboot boot TWRP.xxxxxx.img
where TWRP.xxxxxx.img is the name of the image file (while typing, pressing TAB after typing t autocompletes it, so that should help). I believe there is where you're going wrong.
