1st, do you have drivers installed? Just for clarification, what theme did you install from what rom?

Having a different modem shouldn't effect the booting into recovery part. It would cause a hell of FCs and get into a boot loop.

you need to build a jig or buy one if your key combo does not work on the phone (usually build number 1010 or later).
