I haven't touched my Nexus S in well over a year, but I'm finding myself unable to flash a new rom. I installed clockwork recovery 2.6.3.0 via fastboot, but when I try to flash a rom (or even when I try to wipe the data) I get a red "failed" message.
Any new steps that came into play over the past year?
Edit:
I get:

E:Unable to wipe '/data'.

Isn't it TWRP that you tried to flash? 2.6.3.0 suggest me that. That version is not capable of installing 4.4 roms. I'm not sure if it has been updated yet.
So I'm using Philz recovery instead. You'll find it here: http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=0#files
Choose between crespo and crespo4g folders, and install the latest one (6.01.0).
I don't know why are you unable to wipe data, hopefully updating your recovery will solve this problem too.

I can't install any ROM's with CWM (I've tried 3), it says "E: Can't open /sdcard/<rom name>.zip" then "installation aborted".
The steps I've done are:
-wipe data/factory reset
-format /cache + /data
-install zip from sdcard
-errors of sadness
I've also formatted my sd card**
Not sure if it will help, but have you tried using TWRP instead of CWM? I've seen more people with issues using CWM instead of TWRP. May not be your solution but it's a place to start. Plus, I think TWRP is better anyway.

TWRP works better for our phone and is officially supported by the TWRP devs. I use to to use and was comfortable with cwm, except on this phone I have found that TWRP works, and actually is a nicer recovery.

Ok, I'll try TWRP, but do I need on uninstall CWM first? If so, how?

Just flash TWRP right over it
I get the same error as before, it says system is unmounted already and that it can't open the zip
I have an att htc one x that has 4.01 and 2.20 software. I was able to successfully root the phone and now I'm trying to install CM10 but it's failing when trying to install.
It says it missing a MD5 File and says theres an error in the SD card/download/ the cm 10 file.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you
Make sure the Rom is for our phone and check the md5 sum it might be a bad download
I've tried redownloading the file several times and I'm still getting the same error message.
I'm downloading CM10 from here http://get.cm/?device=endeavoru

Wrong version, endeavoru is the international (Tegra3) One X. Our phone is code named evita.
Just stick to the Development forum here, to avoid flashing ROMs for the wrong version of the One X:

Thanks for the information.
Was able to successfully flash to CM10 but I'm stuck at the CM10 boot screen. Circle going counter clock wise around. What should I do?

If you flashed an international rom, there's a good possibility you messed something up. Factory reset, wipe /system, and try flashing the correct CM10 rom again.
Ok. I'm trying to do a factory reset from bootloader but whenever I do, it goes to the CM10 boot screen where I was earlier. How can I do a factory reset?

A guy I was working with had the boot screen splash. If you've flashed the correct one, then wipe your caches. if that doesn't work reflash.

Don't do it from bootloader, it can corrupt your sdcard. Do it from recovery.
Go into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset and system. Then install the CORRECT rom.

-edit-
I was able to get back into TWRP. There I tried to do a factory reset but it tells me it failed. And after installing CM10, do I have to go back into bootloader and flash boot.img from the CM10 nightly zip file?
And there goes my stock rom... Factory reset is not working on TWRP and tried system reset thinking it would get rid of CM10 but instead erased my stock rom.
Please help, need a working phone soon..

There are stickies and tuts around here for this.. but, the reason why it's not working for you is you didn't flash the boot.img first. before you installed the .zip. Also, you'll need the latest gapps for that ROM as well.
Not familiar with the forums around here, so if you could link me some of these stickies or tutorial it would be great.

I have this problem. i went to the thread you posted, loaded TWRP, I've factory reset and what not, but now I'm stuck in TWRP without any real viable options. When I try to reboot to system, it brings me back to TWRP menu.

Do you have a rom flashed? If so, wipe both caches and reboot. If that doesn't work, reflash and do a system wipe from TWRP.

That doesn't work I tried that before.
Idk, that was my idea.
So it fails even when you try to wipe, that's interesting (also means my assumption was wrong).

I am having the same issue
hboot1.14.0002
radio 0.19as.32.09.11_2
I am unlocked/tampered but S-on.
I thought I made a back up of CleanRom5 when I first put it on the phone, but alas I find that I didnt.
So I am between roms with s-on. Is there a way to achieve S-off with. I can still get into bootloader, and recovery.

boot to bootloader fastboot flash a 2.3 version of twrp i use 2.3.3.0 boot to recovery mount usb transfer rom to phone flash rom be sure to fastboot flash boot.img reboot
This seems to be a bug with 2.4.x.x versions of TWRP. If you downgrade to an old version, it should be OK, from what I've read.

I installed 2.3.3.0 and the factory reset still failed..?
errors given were E:unable to mount '/sdcard'
did you factory reset from bootloader if so you have corrupted your sd card there is a fix let me find it
I did this and this is what Xsmagical and I did to fix it.
Take the stock android recovery from a ruu or stock Rom. (I used the one from 1.85 ruu but it doesn't matter.)
Fastboot flash the stock recovery to your phone and then reboot into bootloader where you originally wiped.
Factory reset from hboot and then Fastboot flash twrp again, mount sd should be available now. Mount sd, copy whatever Rom onto sd card and flash from there.
Freaked me out too man
this is not my post copy and paste
Thanks brother anyone else this may help

The solution I found to the staging error was to use super wipeFull from the android revolution thread however this will wipe the internal sdcard so back up your fish by mount you internal thru twrp or cwm
Do the wipe then reflash your Eos ROM
super wipe link

Go back to recovery, wipe everything and flash it manually.
You can ignore the staging error, it causes no issues whatsoever.

I just flashed one for a friend this morning and had the same issue. I had to reboot to recovery, wipe /system cache and dalvik, then reflash. Not sure why it happened but after that it booted right up!
If you are flashing EOS 4 Nightly 100, be sure to flash KatKernel 96 afterwards. The default kernel packaged with the nighly is borked. Or you can flash Nightly 99, or flash the Preview B175KK
