Hey guys. I am new to this, and i wanted to know if it's safe to use the cyanogenmod installer to install the cyanogenmod 11 for my phone. I have already rooted the phone with towelroot and unlocked the bootloader. Also will the installer flash a custom recovery? For some reason i have been unable to access the built in recovery, i tried this only after i unlocked my boot loader. And i wish to install either CWM or TWRP. I'm a big time NOOB :D Looking forward to some suggestions :D

Hmm. Well the reason i asked is cause i saw reviews on various posts online abt ppl trying it out on phones which werent included in the compatible list. Well where can i get this zip file? I'd like to get one with as less bugs as possible :)

Hi Kash.

To get started with Cyanogenmod on the Xperia ZR (Dogo) follow these steps here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_dogo

Since CM 11 is not officially supported, I use the excellent unofficial ROMs from the FreeXperia project: http://fxpblog.co/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-11/

Just download the correct ROM for Dogo and then follow the instructions as on the CM wiki.
