Root Stuck in Fastboot Mode

Hi, I rooted my pantech pocket and can see the SU icon, and the root explorer getting root access. This indicates I'm successfully rooted.

But when I press power+volume down+home it doesn't get into recovery but instead gets into fastboot everytime.

I think I accidently flashed a different phones CWM from rom manager.

Can someone please help on how I could fix this?
 
If you did flash a CWM version that is not for your phone then that is probably the problem; it is important that when you flash a custom recovery, it must be one compiled for your exact phone model.

Now I am not familiar with everything about your phone model, here's a couple of ideas on how to fix it.

One. If you can find the exact version of CWM (or any other custom recovery) specifically designed for your phone, you can flash it while your phone is booted into fastboot mode, providing you first have the USB drivers and fastboot program on your PC with this simple command:

Code:
fastboot flash recovery [file name of recovery].img

The other way would also require the USB drivers and adb installed on your pc and it depends on whether the file exists on your phone that checks for custom recovery. If it exists, the file name would have been "recovery-from-boot.p" and if so the name would be changed to something different. That file would be located in /system on your phone.

I'll quit for now and wait and see if anyone else chimes in or not.

good luck
