Default [Q] Nexus S 4g official ICS problems

So I know there are various other threads similar to this out there, but none of them have solved my problem so here it goes. Yesterday, I restored back to my Official 2.3.7 from CM9. I had heard the the official ICS had come out and wanted to do a proper update from stock rom. So I did this and the tried to update, but the update failed half way through. Since then, I haven't been able to connect to usb and I haven't had a cell signal. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?
Edit: So now I tried, stupidly, to just reformat everything. I'm sure you could see how that was a problem because now I'm stuck in bootloader or clockworkMod Recovery unable to install any operating system whatsoever...

How to Update or Clean Install Roms and Kernels

Clean Installing Roms:

1) format /system /data /cache /boot
2) wipe dalvik cache
3) flash rom and gapps
4) Boot up for the first time and it should work
5) Optional: Only do this after you booted up once. Flash the kernel.

Updating Roms and Kernels:

Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache before updating

That should solve it. make sure you wipe ALL of those.

how CWM unable to install any ROM? any error message?

might not be relevant, which CWM version you're using?
