Your recovery partition is locked.

  1. Make yourself a developer (go to Settings -> About Phone -> Tap on Build until developer
  2. In Developer options turn on Enable OEM unlock
  3. Flash the new recovery, don forget to "fastboot oem unlock"
  4. Important: don't allow phone to complete a normal reboot after flash. When rebooting, press Vol Up + Vol Down + Power to enter CWM recovery directly. Otherwise the stock recovery will replace CWM again.
