I knew this solution but i wanted to do it simple way by entering stock recovery mode and data wipe.
Anyway i flashed stock firmware .now working ok but still i cant enter in to stock recovery mode by hardware buttons..no pink light during startup .
why is it happening..Do i need unlocked bootloder to enter stock recovery mode??

Do i need root to flash recovery?
No,recovery works independently of your rom, and the thing you root is the rom.

well.. if you can enter the recovery mode, you can clean flash again the rom, make sure you wipe factory data, partition chace and dalvik chace, and then flash it, and then flash gapps.. i've been there in that situation manytimes, even worse..! try as many as rom suits you.. for now im using unoficial carbon rom for xperia zr.. hope it would help

I guess that you have flashed a custom kernel and tried to make a normal boot ...Xperia ZR won't boot normaly when you flash a custom kernel!!Just enter to recovery mode,flash root files,and then flash the stock kernel and the device will boot normaly

Before doing anything ... Remove your device's back cover and push the small button for 5 seconds...
Your device will vibrate 3 times.. After that wait 10 seconds and switch on your device...
Try installing a new recovery... Try the doomlord's advanced system recivery or doomkernel..
After installing the recovery try to flash the zip again..
If nothing happens ... Try a stock rom...
All the best !!! Hit thanks if it helped ...

Follow these steps... firstly copy the superuser zip file into your external SD card.. Be sure that your device is atleast 60-70% charged..
1. Flash a stock ROM via flashtool in flash mode.
2. when flashing is done... flash the recovery u want from flashtool in fastboot mode.
3. switch ON the device and enter into the recovery ... (CWM recovery)
4. install the zip ... wipe cache and dalvik cache.. and reboot..
try this recovery..

What you mean by that "sony logo has disappeared"?
Have you unlocked bootloader and flash new kernel maybe?

This does not make sense.
Please tell us if you had installed a recovery, which one and if you have unlocked the bootloader
right bascially before the cyanogen mod boot sequence there used to be a stock sony one before it, now there is just a black screen then cyanogenmod one then the phone boots up fine but the if i try and boot into recovery it wont work and it just boots up the phone normally again, and yes unlocked boot loader and i have phillz clockwork mod recovery installed
If you have CM installed then the recovery is in the kernel, so you should still be able to get into it
Try using fastboot to flash just the kernel again
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Looks to me like android quick boot is enabled.

Is that even available on CM and if so, how would you disable it?
I'm having the exact same issue as the OP. I tried flashing a lot of boot.imgs via fastboot, but none of them seem to be working. The LED goes orange but the screen stays blank.
What ROM are you running?
Which kernels did you flash?

I don't know about the OP, but I am running CM11 from CyanogenMod.org and I have flashed their boot.img (which contains the kernel, for as far as I understand).
Look in developer options under root access to see if quick boot is enabled

There appears to be no such setting there.
I ended up using FlashTool to flash the official firmware, flashed DoomLord's recovery from there and rooted from that recovery. No more CM11 for me as it's just trouble. The lastest official firmware has more features than when this phone launched, so more than happy with this working setup!
I have a similar problem. I have installed cwm recovery and I checked that it is installed from the Rom manager app. I have stock firmware 4.4.4 . When I try to boot into recovery mode my phone boots as normal with the sony logo and then the xperia logo. I have tried many things,apps to boot it into recovery mode but it boots into normal mode. I want to install cyanogenmod. I tried to install it through rom manager but at boot it boots normally. What could be the reason?
How did you install cmw?
If you want to install cm, then fastboot the kernel from the update.zip then enter recovery and flash the update.zip

I installed it through one of the tutorials here on xda. It was dual recovery. When I check in rom manager it says cwm and twrp installed. The problem is entering into recovery. I tried to enter recovery mode by pressing the volume button, by using recovery boot option in rom manager but nothing seems to work. I have cwm and twrp installed.
I just want to boot into recovery mode.
Do you get the double vibration when you boot up?
If so keep pressing and letting go and pressing again the volume + button when the double vibration happens

Yes, I get the double vibration when the phone boots. I tried what you said ,it just vibrates and boots as normal. Isn't there some log or some info I can provide you to see what's messed up. I tried to repair my phone through sony companion but it says that your phone software is modified so can't go further.
I want to go into recovery mode so I can install cyanogen mod on my z1. I have rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, installed dual recovery but can't go into recovery mode.
