Here are two flashable zip for you to flash the recovery, CWM or TWRP into your Xperia ZR.
Quoting from this thread by @championswimmer:
What are the advantages of this method ?
Every time you flash a kernel, the recovery gets changed, because the recovery is present in the kernel. But if we are hotbooting a recovery in the fotakernel partiton, then even after flashing a new kernel (given that it supports extract_elf_ramdisk), your recovery is not changed. Thus even if the kernel's inbuilt recovery is broken, you can continue to use the recovery you have flashed onto your fotakernel.
All I have done with the installer script is pushing the recovery.img into your fotakernel so the recovery you prefer will always stay in the device no matter what kernel/ROM you flashed.
Benefit?
You will not need computer to perform the installation as you only need to flash on your device and you're good to go.
How to install?
1. Download the recovery zip you want
CWM: View attachment clockworkmod_touch_6.0.4.5.zip
TWRP: View attachment twrp_2.6.3.0.zip
2. Copy onto your device, boot into recovery and flash like normal zip
3. Reboot recovery to see if it changes your recovery to the one you flashed

The intention was only install one recovery in FOTAKernel. DualRecovery using another method but if you want you can use the other dualrecovery.
I have made CWM and TWRP available for user to move around without losing any recovery.

Great work!! I just have two questions:
1. Does this work on LB?
2. Does offline charging work with this recovery?
is it possible to use recovery in kernel when fotarecovery is installed?
how can it be uninstalled?
can u plz make a fastboot .img file to cwm or twrp ?
Can you find newer versions of CWM/TWRP? Or, can you teach me how to make em myself?
If I flash kernel that contains recovery (i.e CM11) will it be overwritten?

Yes !
But if the previous recovery was in system and was not with Kernel then they both may stay together.
any update to twrp 2.8?
Yes.Find it herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3047602

Right now I have no recovery on my XZR, so I cannot flash the recoverys.
What must I do, to get a recovery on my ZR, so that I can flash?

Hello people.I am a noob to rooting phones.I recently rooted my Sony Xperia ZR running stock rom , Kitkat 4.4.2
I used Towelroot by Geohotz to root the phone and have unlocked the bootloader with the official procedure of unlocking bootloaders
I would like to install TWRP or CWM custom recovery but i am unable to since i cant boot into recovery.
I tried quick boot and the hardware combinations but in vain
build number : 10.5.A.0.230
kernel : 3.4.0-perf-g32ce454
*********
I have now been able to flash the clockworkmod zip using flashify still ahvent been able to get into recovery mode
http://nut.xperia-files.com
Download the latest version for the ZR, and be sure to get the one that has 'installer' in its name. Extract and run install.bat and there you go - the latest PhilZ touch and TWRP. In fact, this is the only way I know of to get TWRP above 2.6.3.0 for the ZR.
The xperia ZR(c5502) is a great phone but a pain in the ass when it comes to finding anything on custom recovery for it. Does the dual boot work on unlocked bootloader cos mine is.
good morning all ,
i have xperia ZR with 10.5.1.A.283 stock rom inside (KK 4.4.4).
in order to try some custom roms, i have unlocked the bootloader.
now i have tried all the combination of hard keys to boot into stock boot loader but i can't.
i want to install cwm or twrp but i don't find a way to boot into recovery,
is there any one who can tell me if there is another way to flash a kernel with cwm or twrp inside or any other way to boot into recovery .
thanks in advance

you may try flashing a custom kernel which has recovery included in it. you will need flashtool
I have this ROOTED XSP .205 with LOCKED bootloader and I was trying to install CWM recovery by following a procedure that was only for Locked Bootloader Xperia Sp but I couldn't install it.
First in the cmd it was giving
'can't find specific path'
Then I found out that I needed to extract that zip file to C: that I did and after that im getting,
'You've selected Xperia SP, let's go"
And it is stuck on that, getting nowhere.
Im a newbie so not have much idea if someone can help that'd be a life saviour, please.
Have u tried again after restarting the computer and phone??
I am also trying to do so but stuck on *daemon started successfully*
After that cmd window stuck there. So any one have answer please let me know.

Try flashing recovery .img file with Rashr
You can't install CWM Recovery without a CWM Rom , and I think you can't install locked bootloader on unlocked bootloader, I recommend use Flash Tools and Unlock your bootloader. And Flash a Kernel with TWRP Recovery and Wipe and Flash a CWM Rom (huashan ROM for Xperia SP) after it you get CWM Recovery and TWRP Recovery for extra I recommend use Helium Kernel to do it

hello can you help me with somehting i am on android 4.3 in xperia sp yesterday i have deleted my prima files by mistake can you upload them for me from your phoone
I found installing XZDualRecovery very easy. You get TWRP, CWM and PhilZ.
-install supersu from play store
-activate usb debug in developer options
-unzip xzdualrecovery file
-run install program from the unzipped folder
-follow steps on the screen, you will have to grant supersu access on your phone at some point.
