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.

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.

OP yes check the Development threads and run/test for yourself.

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.
Sent from my C2104 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.

@darwin25 is this a custom bootloader? I prefer fastboot over download mode.
It will be help full if we got android 4.4 (officially ) and one want to downgrade it to 4.1.2 jelly bean . Then flashing ordinary pda file will bootloop the device , but by flashing the above files will install jb .
(It happend to me when I was s advance user and wanted to downgrade to gingerbread )

"The bootloader configures the device to an initial known state and has a means to select where to start executing the kernel" (wiki) If you have a locked bootloader you cannot flash kernels or Roms. There are those which can be unlocked, a procedure that erases device sd and data, and the other kind(that should be wiped out) protected by keys. Considering unlocked bootloaders, there are versions, considering 4.2.2./4.3/4.4.2 that are incompatible with certain code.First you unlock bootloader, install recovery, root, flash what you want, there you go. Sorry for bad english.
So how to unlock bootloader then?
