Flashing CM12, need help (noob here)

[sumicool7]

Hey guys!
So I have my Xperia M currently running on stock firmware 4.3. Although I am happy with the current firmware with the exception of the low internal storage problem but everything needs to be updated regularly

I joined XDA for the very reason so as to flash a custom ROM for my XM but trust me when I say that you are dealing with a complete noob who is just lost in all the jargon associated with flashing a custom ROM. It means that I will be in need of a detailed guide to help me boot my very first custom firmware :3

Here are some details -
Running stock 4.3 firmware
XM single sim
Bootloader can be unlocked (Need a tutorial to unlock bootloader too)
Device not rooted.

Can anybody help me with this? I'll be happy to read out any existing tutorial threads as such
I was also worried about the storgae limitation within the XM, anyway to bypass it by installing CM12? Also what process do you follow when you take a backup of your device while installing a new firmware?

I am just looking for a stable and beautiful firmware for my aging XM :fingers-crossed:

Thank you for reading! :angel:

Yeah it's better than not being able to experience Lollipop on XM
How's your experience with the new CM12?

Lollipop being the number one thing, the second is the battery life:

Well the battery might be pretty bad for you to comment like this
So I shouldn't flash it then?
