KARBONN A1* (Star) [MT6575] Booting in Recovery Problem.

My Issue:
Days before when I tired to boot into stock recovery mode ( Pressing Power button + Volume up ) it successfully booted showing Android System Recovery <3e>.
Yesterday I mistakely flashed unofficial cwm recovery.img of Karbonn A1+ with Mobile Uncle Tools thinking that it was of Karbonn A1* (Star). Now When I try to boot in recovery mode it gets stuck in the company logo showing 'Karbonn Smart' but it boots normally and works properly. I built cwm recovery online using stock recovery.img and tired flashing it but still the same it won't boot in recovery. I tried rom manager, mobile uncle and many other apps for booting in recovery mode but nothing helped. Can anyone help me ? If you could manage me to boot into recovery mode I would really appreciate.
Also can anyone build cwm for my brand?

Edit: Pressing Power button + Volume Down took me into blue screen with these menu:
Full Test
Item Test
Clear Flash
Reboot

When I click Clear Flash my phone got factory reset. But still can not boot into recovery mode.

SOLUTION:
I solved this issue by making custom clockworkmod recovery image from original recovery image and flashed it. Please read here:

Read whole thread carefully.
I didnt used mobile uncle tools for flashing recovery. Instead I used SP Flash tool. Read here:
