You can download and flash TWRP (TeamWin Recovery) via Rasher (Recovery tools) or TWRP manger. Both apps can be installed from the Google Play Store.
I'm not sure if the jfltexx ClockWorkMod recovery will work but I've heard it may not, so I'd just flash TWRP (I prefer it anyways, much nicer UI.)
You can still flash it if you have ClockWorkMod, it will just replace your recovery with TWRP.
If you want CM12 official, you can use the jfltexx ROM zip.
Just make sure to flash team win recovery jfltexx 2.8.4.0 (2.8.5.0 did not work at all for me.)
You just need to match the recovery variant with the ROM varient.
Flashing the jfltexx recovery and using the jfltexx CM12 did not brick my jfltecan (I337M) phone or cause any problems. Works perfect.
