Hey for booting to recovery you need to press vol- and power key and do not leave those until u get into recovery also are you sure u had recovery flashed....
if that is again the problem persists use fastboot commands
download stock rom from the thread , install fastboot on your computer ( needs to be downloaded for pc after you download sdk seperately) and flash all the images respective places !!

 

[mastermind1024]

People, don't post anything anywhere.Please try to keep our home clean.
@ashudb70- u have seperate thread for this.don't post everywhere.
@ninad- he is being answered at respective thread.i do value ur concern to help but also guide such new members not to post anything anywhere with ur answer.
