I might have deleted some system files.
Have you got Clockworkmod on there? You can flash system images. Check it out in the dev section.
I tried to do that before but i couldn't find a img file anywhere!

I am having a heck of a time tryingto flash a new rom onto my nexus s. I have downloaded MoDoCa and CM7 and put both .zip's on my SD card.
When i go to install via clockwork, its verifies the install and fails saying it cant find any of the packages. I left the files as a zip, i also extracted wthem within the same folder.
Im so lost why this wont work. Also the backup's i made before flashing dont wanna flash either. I can only get barebones 2.3. HELP!
Are you using version 3.0.0.0 or higher of Clockwork? That's one of the requirements on Modaco's ROM.
You should leave the Modaco rom as a zip. Put it in the root of your sdcard.
I think what's happening to you is that you're trying to flash it the wrong way.
In Clockwork, don't select the flash update.zip file, what you need to do is choose the menu option to flash a file from the sdcard. This puts you into a selection mode screen where you will navigate through the files and folders in the sdcard to the one you want to flash, then select it and flash away.
Have you tried it that way?
EDIT: P.S - you don't "flash" nandroid backup files, you restore them from the backup/restore menu option in Clockwork. You probably know that, but just making sure, since there shouldn't be an issue restoring them.
Since im not allowed to post this anywhere else here it is. I cant get rom manager to boot directly to the red recovery. Therefore I can no longer download roms and stuff thru rom manager . I see posts about deleting and renaming the update file in the clockwork folder on the sd card . Can anyone clarify this more ? BTW it boots to stock recovery and i have to choose update zip to get to red recovery when I try to load a rom with rom manager

You can still download through rom manager, but you have to manually boot into recovery and browse for the zip. They are on the sdcard in clockworkmod/download.
In the cloclworkmod folder, delete "recovery-update.zip", copy your red CWM update.zip into this folder and rename it to "recovery-update.zip"
Is this in the root of the clockwork folder ? because i see a file called recovery in there . I put it in there and it didnt work

1) Get a working clockwork mod .ZIP file.
2) Put that file in two places:
/sdcard/update.zip
/sdcard/clockwork/recovery-update.zip​
ROM Manager --> Reboot to Recovery Mode should load /sdcard/clockwork/recovery-update.zip
Phone Desktop --> Hold down power button --> Reboot to Recovery should load /sdcard/update.zip
If for whatever reason, you are not rebooting directly into Clockwork Mod Recovery (and booting into the stock Samsung recovery), just choose menu option: apply sdcard:update.zip. It will bring you into Clockwork Mod.
Note that if you are running a DL30 ROM, and recently flashed / updated Clockwork Mod Recovery through ROM Manager, then something screwed up. For whatever reason, ROM Manager downgraded Clockwork Mod Recovery from v2.5.1.0 --> v2.5.0.4. That version will not play nicely with DL30 ROMs. You will need to find a CWMR that works with DL30, and manually place it in the two locations specified above.
I just loaded SyndicateROM and wanted to flash the stock Sprint boot animation back onto my phone, so I found this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951184
And tried using the attached file ("epic_stock_boot.zip") and flashing it in CWM, and it successfully removed the ACS boot animation, but it then boots immediately to the phone without displaying the bootanimation or the sound. I am curious as to if I am doing anything wrong. Do I need to mount /system in CWM before flashing? Is there an alternative to do this other than flashing the .zip file, for example, can I adb push/Root Explorer push the .qmg files to a certain folder in /system? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

YES! You'll want to download the stock zip, put it on the root of your SD card, just drag it on, It CANOT BE IN A FOLDER!
Then boot to recovery and it should autmaticly flash. Takes some time but it should work. The stock zip should be called update.zip I don't know a link but I'm sure there is one.
