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

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 .

you may try flashing a custom kernel which has recovery included in it. you will need flashtool
I flashed a generic TFT and unlocked the bootloader with Flashtools and rooted the phone with EasyRoot. But I can't figure out how to boot into recovery. Neither by pressing the volume buttons nor by trying to boot into recovery from Quick Boot, ROM Installer or ROM Manager. It just keeps booting normally.
If it's useful:
Android 4.3
Kernel 3.4.0-perf-g8330588
Build no. 14.2.A.1.136
Also, running linux on my laptop.
Have you installed Nuts Dual Recovery? Because EasyRoot dosn't install it...

Xperia z not entering recovery
I previously was on an older firmware with unlocked bootloader, philz dual recovery and was rooted . i got the update to 10.5.1.A.0.283 however i cant update it using the over-the-air as i have an unlocked bootloader, so i install flashtool, download 10.5.1.A.0.283 and pick up the android 4.4.4 package from here
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/xper...0-283-t2879266) even thought my phone is c6602 (did not install the ftf file from the link)
i installed the 4.4.4( using recovery- flash zip)and then installed the 10.5.1.A.0.283(using flashtool).
the phone boot up just fine, but i no longer can access any recovery on the phone, at the bootup the notification light doesn't glow up at all.
Please point me in the right direction

Go to XZDUALRECOVERY thread and install recovery, OR , flash custom kernel :thumbup:
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.

Your bootloader is locked? If yes, you must unlock it in order to install TWRP via installer.
But, if you want a recovery and bootloader locked, the only solution is to install XZ DUAL Recovery
