i cant post directly into the thread.
sorry if i missed it but i am unsure how i should install these files??
do i use xrecovery?
Yes you should use xrecovery
install the Rom and flash it with xrecovery , if the Rom file you downloaded is. Zip (not . Rar) go to xrecovry install custom zip and chose the file. Zip if the file. Rar unrar it and put it in backup file in xrecovery and then go to xrecovery menu select backup and restore choose restore, select the file you have put it there, when finish reboot the phone

I guess there is no way that you can install custom ROM without xrecovery, I hope my guess are rigth
Anyway, you can get xrecovery from here.. if you don't have one

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.
Sorry for the very noob question but i can't make everything work.

firstly,have u rooted and already had xrecovery installed?
I've 2.0.1 so i think I've to upgrade to 2.1.1 but on 2.0.1 I've app2sd, jit, xrecovery and obviously root so once upgraded I would root and install xrecovery without problems, the problem is what have i got to do after?
yes you have to upgrade first as in the thread mentioned the rom will only work with 2.1.1 and baseband 15..after upgrade install rooted and xrecovery installed,download the rom (which is update.zip file) dont extrated it..just placed the update.zip file inside your sd card..dont placed it inside any folder,just placed it in ur sd..then reboot..and press back button several time until xrecovery appear..i suggest u to make backup first ,choose backup at xrecovery option for later used (if something goes wrong you can always restore back)..and would be better have backup all things in ur sd (for later used also )then go back to the main screen of the xrecovery..choose install update.zip..then if everything goes fine it will reboot and u have to go to xrecovery back by pressing back button several time and choose factory reset as mentioned in the minicm thread then reboot again..here you go..good luck, remember to always backup ur data before messing around
If You already have 2.1.1 and have it rooted and got xRecovery installed than :
1.Download MiniCM Rom
2.Put the update.zip in the SD card (just drag it onto SD card)
3.Turn off phone and wait 5 seconds
4.Turn on phone and when Sony Ericsson sign appears start tapping "Back(arrow)" button until xRecovery shows (You should make a backup before you install that in every case to be able to resume the state before the installation --> In xRecovery Backup/Restore section)
5.Now install the ROM . In xRecovery go to "Install update.zip from SD card" than "Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip" and the ROM will start installing
6.Select "Factory Reset" in xRecovery
7.Select "Reboot Phone" in xRecovery (first boot takes about 1~5min)
8.Enjoy new ROM
I think I`m explained quite clearly
+1 Case..its clearly explained good luck Siso.
THANKS i'll do it tomorrow but, if I upgrade now via pccompanion will I have automatically the .15 build? or Have I got to install some other patches?

There is instructions in the originalpost. But when you have downloaded the file from multiupload and unpacked it, copy the update.zip file to the root of the sdcard.
Reboot into Xrecovery and choose install update.zip from SD card. Select the update.zip and press the middle button on your phone.
Well... this is how i installed mine.. i was a noob too.. lol a scared noob..
You do know how to get into xrecovery right? if yes then do the following
Download the Minicm file.. (update_2.zip) copy it to your SD card... DONT EXTRACT!
now on xrecovery
scroll down to Install Custom ZIP
choose from sd card
choose the file whatever u downloaded.. and hit the menu button.. let it install.. when done do a factory reset and the reboot phone..
your done..
click thanks!

Flash in Xrecovery, but use option: Install custom zip
okk...thanks for the help..
It is simple...
Download all the filles you need.
Xrecovery install files on your phone.
It install from default the update.zip on yours card root, but it has an option for custum files (it let you browse your card to chooze zip file)
So you have to install rom and then fixes...
Put all files on your card root (if rom zip and fixes zip have the same name, rename the fixes zip)
Ok, boot in xrecovery (restart phone and tap back key untill xrecovery come up, befor sony animation) , buck up first everything. (it has a buck up option, browse there and click buck up, navigate with volume keys, enter with home key, go back with back key)
Then click install update zip or install custum zip(...browse to file) , this will install the rom file.
After that reboot phone and if you manage to get on the rom then installation would be sussesful, it take some time to boot the first time. If your phone only reboot continius then boot on xrecovery and restore your back up.
Then if rom installed sussesfull, boot on xrecovery and install fixes (from costum zip or from update zip), reboot your phone and again if you manage to get on rom install was sussesful or if your phone reboot continius then restore buck up from xrecovery.
I am not responcible for what ever you do on your phone.
From this prosess your hardware sould not be harmed, so phone can be fixed what ever hapends.
Cool down and make your options, the worst case senario: you lose some data and make an update to your phone from pc suite.

You have to install CWM recovery to flash GingerDX. Then you have to reboot to CWM and choose Install update ZIP from sd card, find GDX zip file and select it to flash it.

how can i install CWM please sir guide me step by step i will be so thankful to u!
Use this to install CWM recovery and copy custom ROM zip file to sd card. After that reboot your phone and tap screen several times until it goes to CWM. Then go to Install update zip from sd card and find it. Press on it, it will ask you to confirm your choice and after flashing ROM do full wipe. Of course make NAND backup before.
my rom was xginv5.0 before now i sucessfully installed gingerdxv10 it gives me CWM then i try to install gingerdxv19 and its sucess to installed but my problem is from xgin5.0 to gingerdxv10 up to gingerdxv19 the interface of my phone doesnt change just the startup only change what is wrong?

Have you rooted your phone?
If so then boot into clockwork recovery and install the zip you downloaded from the thread...You don't need your computer to install the ROM.
