Why did you cd to the phone's mount point before issuing the adb command? If the command was successful the phone would reboot into recovery mode and that directory would not be available. I doubt that would be the cause of this problem, but to be sure try again without the cd.
I'd start at the beginning though: the first adb command should be "adb devices". That will tell you whether you have a connection at all. If not then fix that first: check the cable, that USB debugging is enabled on the phone, that the computer is authorised for adb by the phone (probably not relevant if you are running android 4), etc.
But recovery mode won't get you fastboot: you want adb reboot fastboot for that.
(Consider yourself lucky you have a palaeolithic version of Android here: with a newer device the storage would be encrypted and so you would have no hope with this method).
