I'm using Ubuntu x64 live cd and I'm trying to flash CWM. Is there a detailed guide on how to do this? I'm not use to using linux so the most detailed would be helpful. Thanks.

Hm, I'm looking at them right now. Did you do a clean, good SDK install? Double check in Android/Tools or whatever directory. It's right there...

Yes I did. Reinstalling again just to make sure. When the packages popped up I just checked "Accept all" and now its installing everything.
I found the first 2 files under platform tools because there was a text that said they had been moved there. I find the dds file under tools and copied em to my C:\

Thanks mate.
I don't understand step #5. What does it mean "copy the boot.img in the folder that you prefer"?
1- Go into Recover (CWM) and Mount USB
2- Now From your PC create a folder in the root of the storage and call it "clockworkmod"
3- In the "clockworkmod" folder create another folder named "backup"
4- Extract the .zip file in that folder (do not change the name of the folder extracted cause it could give md5sum problems)(also the folder name must not have any space between words)
5- Before continuing on the phone, open that folder from the pc and copy the boot.img in the folder that you prefer
6- Reboot phone into Fastboot mode and flash the boot.img by typing
Code:
fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
7- Reboot the phone into Recovery again
8- Go to Backup & Restore> restore> and here choose the folder previously extracted, and that's it

That means to copy it in a folder from which you will perform step 6. To make your life easier, I usually copy it in the same folder where I keep fastboot and adb files.
In that case you should only type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Which nandroid you have?
4.1.1?
If so, then yes, repeat the procedure once again with your bakup to return to Jelly Bean.
One more thing, make sure that the nandroid you download is named with date and time (something like "2013-01-28.08.49.48"), otherwise you will face md5 issue. There is a solution for that, too, but I don't know if you would do it.

It looks alright. You have your cache, data, and system partitions in it.
And, I was right - you will get MD5 mismatch, for sure! So, you will have to follow the instruction that I indicated before.
If it doesn't work, or you are having problems, keep your current boot.img handy, and give it a try. You can always revert to your previous state.

If you copy boot.img files into your "fastboot" folder, then it's easier to type the command. Instead of:
fastboot flash boot c:/user/somebody/something/.../folder/boot.img

all you do is type:

Less possibility for error.
You can place both boot.img files to this folder, only name them in a way you can recognize them in future (boot_my.img and boot_old.img, for example).
I would also check if nandroid.md5 is the same as the one in parent folder. But, anyhow, you will have to adjust your md5, I'm sure of it.

Ah, you will extract this for put into adb/fastboot folder for flash
So, when you have the winrar windows, drop the file and put it into the folder or the desktop.
Now you can flash/use it

dude, the .img IS THE 'image' file. You don't need to unzip it or anything, just flash it through fastboot.
It's not a compressed .zip file -__-

Here are my steps
I open the zip with 7zip, by choosing open archive
Navigate to the Updater-script file and copy it to my desktop
Right click on it and chose edit with Notepad++
Delete everything down to the word mount, and it leaves the first line blank
I click on the X to close the file and it asks me to save it, I save it
I try to copy the edited file back into the zip and it gives me this error -
Error Duplicate Filename
system/media/audio/notifications/Arturus.ogg
system/media/audio/notifications/arturus.ogg
Does this help? Or am I doing it completely wrong. Lol

This is easier...
Open the file in winrar (7zip doesn't like this one)
Go to file and drag it to your desktop. Don't close WinRAR
Open file in notepad++ and delete the first 2 lines (make sure the first line isn't blank) First line should be
show_progress(0.500000, 0);

Save file
Drag back to winrar in the folder you found it and it'll overwrite.

I know most of you already know this, but it may help others because this is very usefull for installing kitkat.
It's a pain to copy an 1,2 GB ROM to internal storage, so sideloading (installing from PC) it's lot easier and faster.
So here's the trick.
Copy the zip you want to install in "adb" folder (archiev attached)
Reboot phone in recovery mode
Optional - do your wipes
If you have CMW
Go to install zip -> install zip from sideload
If you have TWRP
Go to advanced -> ADB sideload
connect the USB cable and run START.cmd
type "adb devices" to check if your phone is recognized and connected (skip if you know everything it's ok)
type "adb sideload kitkat.zip" (replace kitkat with zip's name)
Notes:
Ofc you need USB drivers
Ive tried that a couple times but always i get a "cannot read kitkat.zip" thing, any idea why?

First, there is no way for a rom to use ".rar" extension. After, error means that the file couldn't be read (missing or corrupted). Also you may try my method which doesn't need android SDK, so there is no complications with wrong paths or such.

It looks to me that your screenshot is showing contents of a ZIP inside a RAR. What @roscatel means, you should extract the ZIP from the RAR that you downloaded -- it's actually an archive packed inside another archive. After that, flash the ZIP you just extracted using any method (sideload, or from recovery as usual). Do NOT rename RAR to ZIP -- it doesn't make sense, and will most definitely NOT work.
