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.

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.
Hey I downloaded a custom rom of these forums. I put it in the root of my sdcard with the name update.zip and booted into recovery and told it to install update.zip. I got an error saying the file didn't exist. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I thought that's how I did it with my Droid X
Custom ROM's need to use ClockworkMod recovery found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126364
Update.zip only works with stock factory Rom. For the most part anyway.
I use clockwork recovery and if I rename it to something other than update.zip i can't find it. It seems to use ROMs and clockworkmod as directories, I tried putting the zip in there and it doesn't show up in clockwork.
Hi. I'm using the 18/Redmi2Prime and I was thinking of reverting back to MIUI and I'm on CM13. I'm kind of confused with all the threads here because it's been a while since I was active here in the forums. Can't I just flash the MIUI ROM over CM13 using TWRP 2.8.7 with a clean install?
I wanted a rooted lollipop miui hence I am reluctant of choosing this. And I donno which ROM to choose either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Grab a copy of the stock recovery from here, and follow the instructions to install it onto your device. Basically, download the file, extract the .img file from it, and install the .img file using TWRP. Then boot to recovery.
Then, download a copy of the official MIUI ROM (beta, release or otherwise), from here, rename it as update.zip, copy paste it to your SD card (internal/external), and from the stock recovery, wipe all existing data (cache and user data - SD card can stay). Install the update.zip from the recovery from the options shown.
Done.
Additional notes -
1. If you are plan to go back to a custom ROM, then install a pre-lollipop based MIUI ROM, or backup your EFS, Modem, Boot partitions prior to wiping the existing recovery - this will save you a lot of trouble, and perhaps opening another thread.
2. It is preferable to download the MIUI ROM and rename it as update.zip before you restore to stock recovery, should anything go wrong down the lane. (That is, without a ROM installed, and the computer just not willing to recognize your device, you might end up in a small soup - you cannot access the files on the phone using the stock recovery easily.)
3. If anything goes wrong, check for instructions on how to install the MIUI ROM using fastboot.
Hey thanks for the quick reply. Will do the mentioned and will get back to you if need be. Thanks again!
But wait. It isn't prerooted right?
