I need to flash the stock kernel on my I9020t running 4.1.1 so I can update to 4.1.2. My micro usb is broken on my phone, so adb flashing is out of the question. I have searched for several days, but my search although turns up results, the terms are so broad. Can someone please provide a link.

Hi, here you find old (and new) official Nexus S complete images or also just the OTA updates:
http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s/
Thanks for the link, unfortunately fastboot images nor the update zips will currently work for me. I imagine that I could, but I don't know how to, make a clockworkmod flashable kernel zip out of the fastboot image. I understand that I would need to extract boot from the image, but making it ready for cwm flashable is over my head.

Yes you have to download the complete fastboot image later you can extract only boot partition using 7zip.
Later read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875739
Download this custom kernel.zip and paste inside the stock boot, this will give the instruction to correctly flash the partition. At the end you can use CWM to flash this zip file. If I helped you just click thank button.
If that don't work, a last try could be to post your problem also here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932832
Where we are talking about update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 and there are a lot of people with a lot of experience (more than me).
I need one too..So if you find one post the link here

What's stopping you from downloading and flashing a 4.1.2 ROM?
Can anyone please help me get my OS back? I was attempting to upgrade from jellybean 4.3 to Kit Kat 4.4 and i knew i needed to wipe but i accidentally wiped the internal. Now when i reboot from recovery it said no OS.
I've unlocked and rooted, i have TWRP on my Nexus 7. I've been researching for answer, tried a few things and ended up confused.
I need guide... I need Step by Step, links to get the files. I'm not sure where to get ADB or SDK or whatever to make my computer pick up my Nexus 7... I need new Kitkat rom, new SuperSU. Please help me!

Been there done that. As the post just above me says download the Nexus Root Toolkit. Follow the directions. Only tricky part can be installing the drivers. Also make sure you are installing JSS15R before you put KitKat on.
If you have a mac you'll have to download the Android SDK download some tools and make a folder with ADB and fastboot in it to flash back to stock. Then you can install TWRP, root and install kitkat.

Thank you for your reply. The toolkit is very helpful, but the problem i'm facing now is USB debugging. It need to be on for me to use this toolkit and for that i have no way to enable it because i dont have OS to go turn on USB debugging. Do you have any other suggestion?

Okay, but this is general section, not Q/A and should be there but today is Friday and I am tremendously happy lol
1. Download 4.4 Radio and 4.4 ROM. (say thanks to Imperticus)
2. Put both zips in your sdcard
3. Go to recovery and do: wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and format system (optional, advisable for upgrading to 4.4)
4. Flash Radio.zip
5. Flash ROM
U don't need any gapps since this is a factory image...
If you want a rooted/deodexed/busybox ROM download this one in stead of the other (say thanks to fireb33)
If u have any problem just let me know.

Flash Stock+Unroot (choose 4.4 option), after that root and put recovery. check if radio and bootloader ok.
P.S.
I think it's good for 4.4. to wipe device and do clean one.

ive gone and broken everything
ive never had issues updating various cyanogen versions once originally installed clockwork recovery. always been as simple as downloading and transferring the zip to SD and booting to recovery and installing from SD when i didnt do the auto updates which still took me to recovery at reboot. but i got impatient for the 4.4 version which reading from cyanongen is in no hurry to release because just released milestone version of 4.3. I downloaded the 4.4 zip right from google and tried installing it from SD like i always did after doing all the various wipes. The google factory image wasnt even recognized by clockwork. so doing some googling got here with steps to radio and os images got them transferred over and booted to recovery and they were at least selectable. got radio to go through. the actual os got error 7 during install, which doing even more googling said should edit a file in the zip contents. Too bad now cant get past the google logo and goes right back to recovery menus for me to transfer editted zip file for the error 7 problem. So im at least partially bootable but no clue how the heck to get myself out of this mess ive gotten myself into due to my impatience and wanting latest and greatest for my nexus 4. would love any help in how to undo problem i caused because the whole adb thing is foreign to me

both root methods i have listed do rest your device because they both require a unlocked bootloader and when you do that it must wipe data factory rest. if your bootloader is already unlocked then your are good and no data wipe is needed.

Hi
so I flashed my grouper with a 5.0 rom and everything works smoothly BUT music playback. Apparently it's an issue that plagues all 5.0 rom. Naturally I tried downloaded a 4.4 rom and flash it but doens't work. Is there anyway to downgrade?
Thanks
The easiest way to go back is to flash a factory image. Although this will wipe the internal memory.
Here is the link to the Nexus factory image site: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
BEWARE: Flashing a wrong factory image (ex: a 2013 image on a 2012 device or vica versa) would certainly brick it.
Do I flash it thru recovery or fastboot?
