First make sure you have at least 1gb free space on your internal storage/ ext card.
Then boot to cwm and make backup from there.

Have u installed cwm on ur fone? If no, then first install it(search cwm for miro) and follow the steps.
1. Turn of ur phone
2. Press power button.
3. When you see sony logo, start pressing volume - button repeatedly. You will be in cwm.
Press thanks if i helped.

Check the Development Section. Plenty of ROMs available there for Miro. See which one suits you.

It depends whether the phone has an unlocked bootloader. ;P
For example my Miro's BL can't be unlocked so I can't install cm 10..which obviously sucks.
So what I wanted to say is that you have to check if your bootloader is locked or unlocked.

Why not use flash Gordon app made by androguide.fr? Google flash Gordon xda and you'll find the apk. You can use it to flash zips

Would test this on JB?
1. Install any kind of launcher first(just in case if this xperia home not working)
2. Make a copy of your orginal xperia home.apk a.k.a backup first.
3. Extract zip and move to specified directory. Permission rw-r--r--
4. Follow the instructions in this thread

Only CWM can flash this launcher, don't flash without CWM.
If you want CWM you need flashtool, boot.img (for launch CWM) and stock kernel.

1)CWM kernel: http://www.mediafire.com/?i6zk4rarrzm9j3s
Stock JB kernel (Warning JB only): http://www.mediafire.com/?pa13gp9yknugy1e
2)Fastboot mode, because only fastboot can flash kernel.

Help please (CWM)

Hello budys, yesterday i bought the xperia L, it is really amazing...! I rooted it but i cant find how to put cwm on it... I have BL locked can you help me please? Thanks in advance.

CWM is only in kernel's. If you allowed to unlock your BL then do it and flash a kernel and you will have a CWM. No CWM for locked bootloader's.

U.u my BL allowed is No

Because they can. Our kernel got bug that prevent cwm for working properly and without patch cwm will not work.

Unlock the phone (carrier lock), that should change the capability to unlock bootloader.

It may be in the furture.
But at this moment it's not possible.

It's not possible due to XL not having recovery partition.
Thanks bye, forgot about CWM on LB or sell your XL and buy one which can be unlock.

I've added cmw of xperia z locked bootloaedr said that the operation was successful, but do not know how to enter the cmw in my xperia l

You need to unlock your bootloader and flash kernel which have cwm build in.
