Default [Q] Nexus S doesn't boot after format system

Hello to everyone. I have a great problem with my Nexus S. Today I have done a factory reset, format sd and format system from clockworkmod recovery to install another rom (Jellybam rom). I've do this but now the phone doesn't boot. I see the first image with the lock in the bottom of the screen then only a black screen. I can go to the recovery yet. Is there a possibility to restore my phone?? Thanks for answering.

Yes of course. You have formatted your SD, which shouldn't have been done.
In CWM, mounts & storage > mount USB storage and transfer to ROM and Gapps files.
Flash them and you will boot just fine. In future make sure not to wipe/format SD.

Thank you now I can use my phone again. I have installed cyanogenmod 10.1 instead of Jellybam that doesn't work. I hope I will have no problem with this one like in the past.
