hi,
no way don this guide if you are using Lenovo S650, for Lenovo S650 follow this guide http://bit.ly/1iicCPu to install custom recovery on your device

thank you for your answer….
btw, someone at needrom said that twrp ver 2.6 only supported JB rom, is that right ?

hmm. i think it not. but it has 2 version for china and for international version this one must be same as your ROM, wrong flashing will make boot loop.
TWRP v2.7 only available on china version now so there is no TWRP v2.7 fro international version yet
