Not entirely sure....but please check the md5 of the .img you originally downloaded to see if its correct before flashing anything
Can I presume you just downloaded the .img and not the .tar ball?

Why not use ftf and extract system.sin file?

it's not that easy, you need to convert the system.sin to system.img using sin2img, and than you can unpack the system.img using system.img using unyaffs.

Download it and keep it for backup, if you mess up some files.
It's just extracted system partition.
@OP: you did it with system.sin from ftf or you extracted system.img from nandroid backup?
If first, can you upload sin2img and unyaffs which works with arc s system.sin.

Actually it's not about easier or harder, but possible or not possible
Have you tried it with system.sin from Arc S?

I used 7 zip to extract files I only need the calender app, as I added a mod which screwed it up.
Not really sure this is what you meant.

just delete the boot.img in the .zip file of jellyblast using 7zip or winrar

Any Android app I can use to dete that boot.img? Already have the .zip file on my sd card

Just flash it, it isn't a problem

I've flashed jellyblast and I love it. But when I tried installing otas Ive got a problem.
When I installed ota 1 the screen resolution changed and no audio could be heard. When I played music nothing can be heard. I thought installing other ota would solve the problem but no hope.
So I've again flashed jellblast with no otas.
Also the beats widget shows nothing

If I was you find a near to stock Rom in an update zip by an xda member and fastboot a kernal with recovery as will be a newer version.

Download the firmware from sammobile or samsung-update then extract the file using 7zip and grab the modem.bin . Now Download one of the modem from here by djembey . Once your done downloading ,Open the file and copy the modem.bin you extracted from the firmware you download/extracted then copy to your sd card , boot into recovery mode and flash away .
...

Factory image's can be obtained from here, and I recommend reading efrant's flashing guide.

You can aways download the source and compile it by yourself, then inject the Gapps, i recomend the Lite version... Like i did in the past...
I thing you can made your own zip from img file from google. But why you choose to flash it by twrp? Try to use fastboot
