Sony Xperia Tipo ST21i can't install firmware

Hi
I tried install XPERIENCE™ Tipo Beta 2 ROM but I forgot one step (format system). After installation i rebooted phone but stuck at black screen of course. So I pulled out battery and go to CWM again and I did everything, format data, system, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats and tried install ROM again. But CWM can't read from internal memory so i decided to reboot phone and go to CWM again but now I can't go to CWM and phone stuck at SONY logo. So I tried flash firmware by flashtool but of course there were error.
Installation process starts normal but after few steps phone disconected itself and tried to boot.

Every time I press the BLU button it shows "your bootloader cannot be officially locked"

Then I thought I could use the stock based roms and installed Dark Moon AVD Rom 4.1.2 using the CWM recovery. The instructions included the flashing of the kernel which again I was not able to do, the flashtool responded the same way. Now I don't know what to do with my phone. Please help. When I charge my phone now and press the power button once I can see the battery logo but when I try to turn on, the orange led blinks once and then nothing happens. Thanks in advance.

Use Pc Companion or Flashtool to repair it. Good luck.

now i realise after some searching on the net that i have wiped cwm and system and userdata. when i tried to flash cwm, it told that the device needs to be rooted. i tried this via fastboot. i cant flash supersu or cwm. what should i do??

Use Flashtool, it should be resolve Your problem. (One click root, SuperSU, CWM)

the root device and install recovery button is disabled. so, shall i flash a firmware to solve this problem?

Help....
thanks in Advance!

@rohith.gm:
Are you sure to use a correct ROM? Miro have a lot of different versions. Find your current one.
@aaditya:
Your phone isn't rooted already? If not, then try to flash a correct stock, then root, CWM, and then, maybe a correct custom ROM, like CM.

How can i boot to system? Tried allmost everything. 4 hours......... Fastboot also tried. Bootloader is locked. Never been unlocked. So can i do samothing else with locked bootloader. Tried to downgrade 5.1 and 4.4. Now its 6.01.

Ensure you have the latest flashtool installed. Re-download the FTF.
If that does not work try forcing a software repair using PCCompanion.
