I do think a new CWM or TWRP recovery needs to be ported for this phone because the current recovery I can find is CWM 6.0.3.7. I am sure for CM11 and above we need at least 6.0.4.5. Also, there is a chance you might not brick your phone if you use a working rom and flash the recovery. As long as you can boot into the rom or bootloader, I think that you will be able to flash another recovery with adb and superuser access if the one you have is corrupted.
