Try reflashing Clockwork Mod Recovery.

Do that, and if you have the means, try to check out the external sd on some other device to see what's going on. I'd start with pulling the battery for a bit and try flashing the backup again.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong but if you didn't flash anything because of misfiling xboarder's rom, there was no reason to use the backup in the first place.

Where did you put your nandroid - internal or external SD? They would have been determined by the recovery option you chose - Internal or External SD. Your stock ROM would download the Xboarder ROM to internal in any case, but your nandroid location depends on the choice above.
Since you did a total wipe, you do not have a ROM installed, so you will not be able to boot up, but you DO NOT have a brick.
You could flash the Recovery again with the Oneclick Recovery tool and choose internal, and then you could flash the Xboarder ROM. After that, see if you can find your backup (in the clockworkmod folder).

I didn't know that a wipe from cwm clears out the rom. I only ever wiped before flashing something else so I assumed it was more like a factory reset.

As far as I know, the wipe data/factory reset is exactly that.
There's also a wipe system function, which wipes the entire ROM also. It seems he did that also.
As for fixing the phone, what gaww said haha. If xboarder's mod isn't there, then in recovery while the phone is plugged in, mount the sd card, and put a rom on there using windows explorer or whatever, then disconnect and you should be able to flash it.

Boot into recovery, go down to mount, and mount usb. Then find the file on your internal sd and move it over to the external sdcard. I have had to do that a few times when I forgot to move the file.
WTF is going on, why has this (in the history of this phone) apparently never been asked? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over here, just trying to flash a simple rom.
i can access mine through CWM.
yes yes, the only thing i noticed that is different on this phone is that when i make a nandroid it puts it on my external sd instead of my internal but it still sees my internal.
If cwm is not recognising the internal sd card....you have a corrupt partition. You need to odin
Stock. Tar boot into stock recovery wipe data/cache 3 times each reboot. Then root/ flash cwm recovery back onto the phone and then wipe and flash your rom

Are you getting this message after you root the device? I had this same issue and realize I needed to first root the device, open ROM manager to give it root access then reboot. After that it was OK.

This............^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So, to make the long story short...
basically, I have no cache partion.
I was rooting my nexus s and flashing a rom everything was fine until I retardedly pressed wipe cache partition in clockwork recovery so now i can still boot up normally but i can't do anything as you all no, the nexus s doesn't have an external card slot, so my phone says that I haven't got an sd card inserted.
Is there any way to bring back the cache partition and how could i make it recognise it as the sd card?

The problem above seems to have fixed itself but now I have another problem. I have flashed MIUI rom and I don't know where the superuser app has gone since I rooted it. So now I can't flash a newer version of CWM and I'm stuck with this rom. I have downloaded the CWM 5.x.x.x.x from the other thread but I am not able to flash it even with update.zip. I seem to be unable to flash anything at the moment because in CWM it just aborts everything because the 'cache' partition is not there. Also when I go boot up normally into MIUI, I can't turn wifi on, everytime I change it to on, it just won't let me and it says error below the switch. Is there anyway to fix this at all?
I think you need to go back into clockwork mod recovery, go to mounts menu, make sure sdcard is mounted. If you can't mount it, you'll have to format it. If you can mount it, then do it, then go to mount usb, and hook up to a computer and back up everything you have in your sdcard folder just to be safe. You can now flash your ROM again.
If you have nothing in your sdcard folder when you connect to the computer, download an undelete program that works with flash drives, and see if it can restore your files.

thx for the suggestion, but I have tried that already and in clockworkmod it says that I can't mount or format the partition as because they don't exist so I don't have any idea what to do.
Also I am able to boot my phone into the rom I have flashed but when I try to turn on the wifi, it gives me and error and turns off, is there a way to solve this at all?
can you use SD partition in CWM to create it again?
Just throwin it out there, not sure if it would work or not?

I have CWM 3.0.0.0.0 so I am not sure about the other versions and this one only allows me to partition up to 4gb so not really useful on the nexus s.
thx anyway

do you mean flash recovery through fastboot with cmd? I tried that but in cwm or in MIUI it doesn't flash, it just says waiting for device, so I am guessing the usb connection is not working properly either. I can transfer files though if that is any help...
Then u need to install the proper drivers for your device

I did a full wipe (foolishly) including internal storage directly after rooting. No OS, No backups, no ROMs..So how do I get out of this one?

Download and flash the stock factory images.
Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...urce-guides-info-threads-linked-read-t2784527
You can either flash a factory image or can use USB OTG to flash a ROM from recovery or you can use the side load function of your recovery to side load a ROM using adb sideload romname.zip
or you could search because this has been asked about 1 mil times.
Hi,
Does installing TWRP wipe the personal data after it get installed on the device for the first time ?
Many Thanks to all of you
It shouldn't delete personal data. TWRP is recovery partition, it doesn't deal with the userdata partition. However, some tools used for flashing the TWRP might have an option to completely re-format your phone, so make sure that setting is unchecked. If anything, make a backup of your phone prior to doing this.

Many thanks for you help. actually I can not backup any thing, that is all my actual problem. I can not access to the android OS, but can access the recovery and download mode. Someone suggested to backup all the data from twrp before trying wipping all the phone ... what do you think about that ? Is it a good workarround so I can recover a functionning phone with all my data ?
Many thanks
Edit: I plan to use heimdall to flash the twrp recovery mode on the phone.

It depends on the phone. If it is Samsung, just flash the same firmware on top of the device using odin and make sure the re-partition is not checked. Or if you can access recovery mode, try hooking it up to the computer and use adb shell to locate your files and pull them off the device.
