Urgent Help Required (Rooting)

Hi Guys,

I am having a problem with rooting my G1, For the last hour I have been stuck at the point where I have downgraded the phone to the RC7 successfully and am trying to press enter twice and type the telnetd.

At this point I'm not sure if it should give me a sign that it has worked but I then goto telnet command prompt which is showing some questions marks them the # sign but when I type in the commands from the instructions the following happens: Typed exactly as it appears on my screen

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# #cd sdcard

# #flash_image recovery recovery.img

No such file or directory

# #flash_image recovery/sdcard/recovery.img

usage: flash_image partition file.img


# #cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img

recovery.img: No such file or directory
