Please Help ... How to install [ROM][AOSP] ICS build for Nexus S [WIP]

Hi friends I have Nexus S i9023
I have just rooted the phone for the first time
current android version is :2.3.6
I have ROM manager and Super user installed
I downloaded the ICS build for Nexus s WIP
trying to install it from ROM manager and also from RECOVERY but it gives me a triangle exclamation mark of android ....
not working
tried several times but no result
please help meee ......

What recovery do you have? I had issues flashing some roms (like miui) with cwm 3.x which was what I first got when unlocking and rooting my phone. Flashed cwm 5.0.2.0 or something like that with fastboot and never had issues again.

I have Clockwork recovery 3101.img

From the sound of it looks like u don't have cwm try flashing it with rom manager and the reboot into recovery from rom manager that should work.

how to do wipe now ???

Boot into clockworkmod recovery then with volume rockers scroll down to where it says (wipe data factory reset) wipe that 3x. Then wipe cache. Right underneath the data one. Do that 3x. The scroll down to advanced menu and scroll to (wipe dalvick cache) do that 3x then go back and install the rom.

You no need to reflash by odin,
just do reflash again USSR V4.0 via CWM then select advanced and reboot recovery
then wipe data and cache
reboot
done
good luck !

What version of TWRP did FreeGee give you? I bet you need to update it to atleast 2.6.3.3
You can find it here - http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/g2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-g2att.zip

I am on twrp 2.6.3.3. I tried everything i dont kno what to do??

Don't think the md5 part matters. Sounds to me like you're not wiping completely (/system specifically). Follow these steps and you should be good to go..
Wipe dalvik cache
/system
/data
cache.
DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE

Getting an error other than the md5 check?
EDIT: Did you Factory Reset in TWRP or go to Advanced Wipe?

Reason I asked is that I would suggest skipping the factory reset option, go in to advanced wipe and check all except internal storage.

CWM stuck trying to install ROM

OK. Tried to install CM11 on my phone today. Stupidly tried with ROM manager. The flash failed. I tried to go back to recovery but each time I boot to recovery CWM tries to flash the same ROM. So I couldn't get back into cwm to nandroid restore. Tried re-flashed cwm with Odin but still would try to install the ROM at recovery. Had to flash twrp clear everything re-flash my original ROM and titanium backup restore. Any ideas how I can stop cwm from trying to re-flash the problem ROM if I go back to cwm recovery??

Hi,
What phone variant do you have?
i9505 or i9505G?

Maybe you can find where the recovery script is located that CWM is trying to open? Then delete that file so CWM won't be able to take orders from it.

It's the i9505 but with the Google version of 4.4.2

That's what I was guessing but have no idea where this is stored. It's pretty low level so I'd be surprised if it was file based.

HI,
Do you have the knox bootloader?

Install question
Hiya
Does installing a rom from CWM take ages?
I have tried to install a couple now and they seem to stop at the GT-I9505 screen?
I am installing from ext sd-card

Hi
Yes - used the wipe option inside CWM
It may have been a problem with the download file - will retry

Have you deleted the ROM or any files that CWM can reference?

The recovery script that it maybe opening as to why it keeps installing things.
