Your best bet would be to flash the stock firmware onto your device using flashtool.
1) Download flashtool from here: http://androxyde.github.io/
2) Download Miro firmware 11.0.A.5.5 from here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetR1ZuSWlUcTNNQVk/edit?pli=1
3) Install flashtool to your computer, keep the install location default to keep things simple.
4) Move the firmware to the flashtool directory. Default path is C:\Flashtool\firmwares
5) Install the device drivers provided with flashtool. Default path is C:\Flashtool\drivers. Install every driver firmware possible.
6) Open flashtool and click the lightning bolt. Select flash mode.
7) In the new window select your Miro firmware what you moved to the firmwares folder. Do NOT change any of the tick boxes as doing so can cause complications. Press okay.
8) Let flashtool prepare the file for flashing. Once it has it will ask you to connect your device in flash mode. To do so plug the large USB end into your computer, remove your phones battery and leave the back off. Connect the small end of the USB cable to your phone and hold the volume DOWN (-) button. Insert the battery. This puts your phone into flash mode.
9) Let flashtool work its magic. It takes about 2-5 minutes to make your phone work again.
10) Enjoy your working phone.

If have CWM installed you can run advanced - fix permissions if your phone's permissions are wrong.
Anyway with your current problem try:
> don't enter flashmode until flashtool asks to to do so.
> redownload stock firmware
> run flashtool as administrator/root

thank u man

For Flashing Stock ROM fastboot drivers are not required, only flashmode drivers are required which Windows manages to get them easily. I wanted fastboot drivers for my phone which were in Flashtool -> Drivers folder. But the installing always used to fail. After lot of google searches I found out as the drivers were not digitally signed Windows used to block it's install process. If you are having same problem just Google 'How to disable driver signature enforcement in Windows'. It helped for me

Please follow this tutorial, it will lead you to flash firmware using Flashtool
How to install the newest Android 4.1.2 for Sony XPERIA S LT26i
a) First of all, you need to install driver into your PC (You can use PC Companion to do it)
b) Download and install latest Flashtool from HERE.
c) Download also Android 4.1.2 firmware (you can find it HERE or HERE) for Sony XPERIA S LT26i
d) Paste the ftf file downloaded in step c) to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool
e) Open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean instalation and then restore your personal data.
f) Turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button
g) After few minutes all is done and your phone gets the new firmware
GOOD LUCK

TWRP should allow you to mount your device as USB device and install a zip file that contains a rom.
