You can try holding volume up and power button until you feel 3 vibrations 1 after the other - Not 1 on it's own 3 will come soon after, Then try to boot your phone, If that fails then you will need to run a repair using either PCC or SUS found here install select phone and follow the on screen instructions

the PC companion said that windows 7 or previous version is needed to update my phone, windows 8 cant do it? BTW is there any way to get into recovery mode of my phone?

There is no recovery mode for the Xperia S however as your running Windows 8 have you considered or are you aware that you can install a free program called VMware Player which will allow you to install a virtual XP operating system thus allowing you to run programs like PCC or SUS VMware Player is free for personal use so scroll down the page if you are interested,
