ZE551ml "continue the fastboot process" prompt in fastboot,can't boot into recovery

I tried to go back to stock rom from CM 14.1 Unofficial following this youtube tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inzG5MLS2y4
I downloaded 2.20.40.196(Latest Android L) but couldn't find appropriate recovery for it.So I searched xda and got one.
I followed this sequence:
1.) fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img

2.) fastboot flash boot boot.img

3.) fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
the boot.img and droidboot.img being extracted from the stock rom itself.
But after flashing, it shows "continue the fastboot process" in blue and selecting recovery option reboots the phone and brings it back to fastboot.
I CAN ACCESS FASTBOOT MODE,MY DEVICE IS RECOGNIZED BY MY PC.
But there is no recovery.
Kindly suggest what to do in relevance to my post.

down load zip file and extract it. place extracted files in adb fastboot tool folder. in empty place right click and open command window here. now run the following commands
fastboot flash splashscreen black_splashscreen_551.img
fastboot flash token bom-token_ze551ml_2.20.40.184.bin
fastboot flash dnx dnx_ze551ml_2.20.40.184.bin
fastboot flash ifwi ifwi_ze551ml_2.20.40.184.bin
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot_2.20.40.184.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

after it reboots to boot loader run the following command

fastboot flash recovery recovery_sign.bin for stock recovery
or
fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.0.2-Z00A.img for TWRP

after flash now use volume key to navigate options at top of the screen and select recovery mode and reboot to enter recovery mode. ( you may see android logo with error. When you see that screen. Press and hold power button then click volume up of down button and release both button)

now you can update stock via adb sideload

Why go through all of this when you can just use the flash tool and reboot into stock?

cool down buddy. it was for informational purpose only. he was already using commands to do so. i just told him the correct way.

second for using AFT he have to download raw firmware. which is more than 1 Gb of data which will be costly if he is using mobile data to download. as he mentioned he already downloaded LP firmware from asus. with above method. he will be able to install the earlier downloaded zip file without any additional firmware download.

third as he mentioned he was on CM. i doubt installation with AFT might not be successful. he may have to flash stock ifwi and recovery and boot etc...
