Yes you must flash boot.img in fastboot. S-ON devices aren't allowed to flash boot.img in recovery, no matter if you install or restore a rom.

Put TWRP back on. Go into recovery. Keep connected to PC. Transfer a sense ROM and flash it. Assuming you're S-ON: flash MeanBean. Or flash a different sense ROM that has an S-ON installer. Or fastboot flash boot boot.img when you install.

If you've unlocked the bootloader before then you know how to unlock the bootloader.

Unlock the bootloader again, first of all.
Delete your current recovery.img.
Re-download your recovery.
fastboot erase cache
install your recovery again
fastboot erase cache
boot into recovery
when connected you should be able to transfer files from PC to phone.
Otherwise you might need to use USB-OTG I think.
wipe data, cache, delvik/cache, system
Install the ROM.
reboot to bootloader
pull boot.img out of your ROM download
fastboot flash boot boot.img
reboot to system.

Flash Rom in twrp. Pull boot.img out of the Rom's zip file and place in your working fastboot directory. Reboot to fastboot/bootloader from twrp. Command from your pc will be
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Whatever you do, do not restore efs in TWRP. It will make you bootloop in fastboot and the only option you'll have Will be to flash a fastboot rom.
