There's an odin thread in the android dev section. See if that has the files you're looking for.

Also try to download a nandroid backup in the android dev section and try to restore it first. It might be able to fix your problem if you accidentally corrupted one your imgs. It flashes all the img files to your nand.

Hello I used super one click to get root.
I installed Root Explorer.
I know I have root because I get:
#
Then I type su and get
su
But when I try to open root explorer it doesn't prompt me su permissions.
Also ROM Manager won't flash recovery either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction

Download the app 'root checker' and use that to see if you really have root.

I use the root checker and it told me that I didn't have root.
I ran Super One Click and did the test again and still the same results.
I can get to su in adb but still can use any app that requires root or flash CWM Recovery.
I am going to try the video method u sent me.
I will post results.
Hopefully I can install the Maximus Ginger ROM.

Finally Worked
Ok I followed the video tutorial and I finally got root and CWM.
I am now going to attempt to install Maximus Ginger...
If you guys want to use the same method I did download and use this:
http : // tinyurl. com/ Sidekick 4GALLin One
Delete all the space in between
Its an all in one Root and Recovery...
Hope this helps those who had the same issues as me...
Thank u all for your help...

Its actually 4.0.0.2 if you're going to be anal about it...
I'm pretty sure downloading cwm from rom manager doesn't flash a voodoo recovery (3.0.0.2).

ROMs wont install
Ok so now I have ran my SK4G through odin 5 times...Going on 6...
Root and Recovery work perfectly with that method...
But everytime I install a ROM I get stuck at the boot screen with my sidekick vibrating and restarting....
Everywhere I read it talks about the Mounts... Yes I know they are very important...
So I make sure they are what they are supposed to be when flashing the ROM...
But once the ROMs install it reboots automatically and I cant change the mounts...
I have tried both Smooth Maximus and Maximus Ginger, Lightning ROM, and Clean Fusion...
The same thing happens to me after I install any of these ROMs....
It always reboots after the installation...
Has anyone ran into this issue or can help me figure out what to do now...
Thanks Guys

After you use the All in One download ROM Manager.
Then Flash the SK4G Recovery through there.
For some reason you have to reboot into CWM recovery only by using ROM Manager.
If you reboot manually or through adb you are going to have to choose install packages then CWM Recovery will load.
I am still stuck with no custom ROM...
every rom that I install soft bricks my device and then I have to use odin to restore.
Does anyone know of a ROM that I can flash through odin that is nice like Smooth Maximus or Similar?
Thanks

Did you try to flash bali kernel (froyo) before back up and when finished reboot recovery and flash a GB kernel?
Sent from me
this is the first time i'm trying to flash a custom rom. I can't seem to install cyanogen 7.1.0. I tried flashing the file named "update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip" using twrp recovery. But I get this error in recovery saying " installing update
assert failed: get prop "ro.product.device" =="
Error in E:temp/side load/package.zip (status 7)
And then I reboot to my stock Ics. My nexus s is running the matr1x kernel. Nexus s I9020.
Has this got any thing to do with the fact that my phone was running the stock ics prior to being rooted?

Are you sure you have downloaded the correct file?
I thought that the nexus s file contained the word "crespo"

Did you try flashing the stock firmware image using fastboot (a guide for 4.1.1 is here, but applicable for any google image as such)
Once you flash the stock image, you can re-root and try flashing custom ROM's
I fixed it now all I did was unroot then root my phone again. Thanks for all the help and I will use these suggestions next time if this happens. Thank you all again thank you very very much.

nope. use fastboot to flash recovery. nexus s hacks has links to everything you need. (USB & fastboot drivers, recovery img files, and su zip files)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
replace the recovery.img with the actual filename of your recovery IMG file, then place the su zip on the root of your SD card & flash through recovery. I use cwm, but there are others available.

Maybe you can see in this wiki cyanogenMod ( iam sorry, i can not give the link because i have no permision to give the link
There's a lot instruction to instal android sdk, fastboot or instal CWM
