Actually just got done helping someone with a similar issue. Just refer to the link provided in the post.

If you're on stock rooted, the stock recovery overwrites the custom. That zip should fix the issue.
I just flashed it through Rom manager it seems ok now if not I will look into that thank you for your reply

Just tested with ROM Mananger, it can backup just fine.. as soon i choose a ROM to install it loads recovery and fails, just like when you do it manually.

Sounds like stock recovery installed itself. If you are rooted remove/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh then reflash cwm manually or through rom manager.

I have had this happen on my NS4G. I know they are a little different, but it seems like you are having the same thing happen that I did and to solve it, I open Windows command prompt(or terminal depending on you OS) and fastboot flash recovery (insert recovery.img name here) and reflashed the recovery partition with clockwork. Very easy fix. Just make sure you boot straight into recovery after flashing and flash the Rom you want to flash before booting back into stock(also make a nandroid before that). After that you shouldn't have any more problems unless you unroot. There must be a small glitch somewhere when flashing the clockwork doesn't fully erase stock recovery partition.

Pretty common lately...Android for Nexus S recovers its recovery if it is changes...
"You dawg, we heard you like recovering your recoveries, so we made recovery recover in recovery." and all that...

The Nexus one did the same thing. Most OTAs verify / replace this file. It's easy enough to deal with if you're unlocked and rooted.

Check the rooting guides for the directions.

I got the same problem after flashing the Clockworkmod 5.0. Then I flashed the 4.0x version (found in the rooting guide on XDA) and it's now working smoothly

You should make sure you are erasing the old recovery before flashing a new one. This can be done as a fastboot command or through the advanced options in rom manager.

Hi
A couple of days ago I tried to flash the newer version of ClockWorkMod recovery (from v3.0.2.4 to 5.0.2.0) via ROM Manager, it seemed to install properly but when I tried to enter the recovery it sent me to the BOOTLOADER and there was written that I have no boot or recovery image installed, when I try to install the CWM manually via ADB it cant recognize my Nexus S when I'm in the bootloader (I re-installed the drivers but it didn't help) but when the phone is on I have access to the phone via ADB but I cant flash the CWM.
I tried the next commands:
adb shell
SU
flash_image recovery /sdcard/filename.img
and it showed me allot of memory errors.
Does anyone can help me?

thanx, I tried it but it also didn't work
same problem here noob in nexus s please help
After I sent my NEXUS to a lab it works OK with the recovery they say that they don't know what this issue was but after the changed the rom to stock every thing worked OK
I am also suffering from the same issue, I think itnis caused by only a certain amount of memory being aloted for a recovery image as the newer version is a bit larger, anyone know how to fix this?

in the lab they said that they pushed stock rom via some linux script they have to the nexus and after that they flashed recovery but I think that you can find how to do this in this forum (going back to stock) and to root it again and then you can flash recovery
I'm going thru the same thing after flashing ics rom. Now I had to downgrade to 3.0.0.1 in order ffor my recovery to work.....I even tried flashing each recovery one by one until I was on. 5.2
But its the same issue. No recovery unless I downgrade. Also none of my back ups are recognized.....

I did the same thing with my I9020T, I accidentally used the 4G one click unroot and it installed a 4G rom on my T-mobile NS. Now when I try to flash a stock rom for the I9020T it gives me a signature verification errror, I'm still trying to figure it out
I haven't tried it out yet but I have a theory. The recovery on my phone I realised is the default Google one. Not CWM so I'm gonna try and reflash CWM and try to install an i9023 stock rom.
It you have a comp around try it would you? I'm not getting home for a while :/

Go get the correct rom then rename it to update.zip move it to the root of your sd
Go in stock fastboot mode
Go to recovery hit the power button and when you see the the android question mark guy hold volume up and power
Go to apply update.zip and when your on your correct rom do this process to flash any stock rom
You should just flash the correct ICS rom ,good luck and please read read and when you think you got it read some more

Another way I can think of is to flash koushs recovery img in fastboot mode and restore one of your backups, hopefully you didn't delete them because there still there but you have to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to see them

I tried using the default Google recovery to flash back. Hopeless. I keep getting the security error. I'm pretty sure Koush’s cwm will be able to fix it but I need a damn computer!

Solved. I flashed CWM. Flashed a rom(CyberGR) and a baseband(XXKB3) and I realized my efs was screwed. I restored my efs with Root explorer. And done. Problem solved.
I have the same problem too, and I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396224 to boot using recovery mode. It works!
I have a Nexus S, rooted, and every time I install CWM, I restart and then when I restart the recovery after a full boot, it is gone. I am now trying the TWRP recovery(I like it) and it still does this, it is on 3e recovery everytime it reverts back. I remember something like this on my Vibrant and I remember I had to flash a custom stock kernel or recovery.... I don't quite remember how it worked. Really would like to know how to keep the recoveries I installed, just in case I ever need it.
I even followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396959
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Did you rename "install-recovery.sh" to "install-recovery.sh.old"? If not, your phone will revert back to stock recovery on each reboot.
