[Recovery][CWM][TWRP][UB]Flashable Recovery For Xperia ZR

wai10691 · Feb 19, 2014

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

If you like my work, press the THANKS button or consider to buy me a beer.

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?

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.

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?
