Make sure you have newest version by flashing through ROM manager.

He can't boot, therefor can't use ROM manager. Flash recovery.img from fastboot. You can find CWM recovery images here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686
If you don't know how to use fastboot and flash from it, just search xda, and you'll find many guides ...
Good luck!

Sorry, I'm a noob. Didn't see missing boot img in subject. Had problem flashing with ROM manager before until I updated Clockwork mod recovery. Thought it was similar problem. Lol. Duh.

Flash it with fastboot, of course. There are plenty of posts here and on the net in general that explain how.
or you could use flashimagegui. its a paid app in the play store, & its also posted here by the dev

Or install the ROM Manager app, which can flash CWM for you.

I ran across one like that and I simply flashed Revolutionary and that took care of the problem.
How did you flash it when theres no recovery?

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

Boot.img flash qustion

Hello I just got the one s I have rooted and s-off. I have seen that you have to flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot or use the flash img Gui app witch extracts the kernel from the Rom .zip and instals then you install the Rom after. Witch I have done with the cm 10.1 and the viper rom. qustion is do I even need to worry about flashing the boot.img if I am s-off? Thanks for the help in advance.

No you don't need to use flash image GUI or fast boot, just flash a ROM straight from recovery

soething like this also happened to me when i tried to flash cm11 to my xperia sola it was because the kernel i was using was not supporting the ROM once i "fastboot flash boot boot.img" , boot.img given in the zip folder i was able to flash the new ROM. Best of luck
Did you flash the boot.img over pc or on the phone?

I support. This seems like a boot.img problem. Try to make it via PC while the phone is in fastboot mode.
This is for a galaxy s3, would download/odin mode qualify as a fastboot mode? :S

I tried flashing boot.img in recovery, it failed. Anything else? :/

I would recommend using the latest twrp. I find it much more reliable than CWM. Just my two cents.

Make a flash able zip for boot.img.
.img cannot be flashed through custom recoveries. .
Only zip file can be flashed.

I used TRWP and compressed the boot.img into a zip to flash and attempted it but I get a failed message.... Should I just scrap it throw away the phone at this point? Nothing seems to work...

its most likely overwriting the recovery when you boot into android normally, there are similar cases and different answers for this situation. have you tried flashing it via Rom manager off the play store?

Thanks for answering!
Yeah, I did flash recovery via Rom Manager. I searched for my device on the list for the right recovery and it said Clockworkmod recovery was succesfully flashed but it won't boot into it.
