Reflash the nightly you're on, and it'll revert. Always do a nandroid backup though. If you have done a nandroid backup before flashing miguelthekernel, then you can also just nandroid restore.

I have rooted, installed Amon Ra flash recovery, and currently using CM6.
I forgot to do the backup flash when I had my stock rom, so I went ahead and backed up the CM6. Is that okay?

uhhh well, if you didn't need you're old stock rom or ever wanted to flash back to it you needed to back that up aswell, im guessing you atleast backedup your data and apps using mybackuppro or titanum?
From my research so far...and I have yet to actually commit to first root...you could just load the rooted 1.47...set it up...and back up that.
But...if I have the terminology right (please experts chime in as it will help me too)...titanium or whatever only backs up stuff...not the rom.
Nandroid back up is everything....
Which did you do? If you back up all the apps and whatever settings with titanium or my backup...then you should be ok regardless of rom.
If you are talking nandroid backup....then CM6 is now your fall back for everything.
So...my plan is to do my first nandroid with rooted 1.47. (Well it is at this moment in time.)
ps...is it nand or nandroid...oh well.
I could always download the stock rom, flash it as my backup, and go from there... correct?

yes, that's an possible option.

But...remember difference between stock Rom and rooted stock Rom...at least that is what I am reading. If you want to keep root...use a rooted version of that stock Rom.
(I have seen one thread saying could be issues.)
ps...again more experienced please chime in.
if you want to be safe dl rooted stock rom, flash radio then wimax then rom, once thats done do a nandroid backup of that then a nandriod restore of cm6 presto all warm and fuzzy with backups.

This is correct you can always just re flash a rooted stock rom to get back to the ... rooted stock rom. since CM6 nightly is still a bit touch and go and probably not ready to be most peoples daily driver i would suggest doing this sooner rather then later so you have a fall back.

This isnt exactly true. It does not back up radios, hboot, recovery. This usually isnt a big deal unless you are switching between roms using 1.47 and the older radios.
What i personally do is keep a fall back nandroid (or nand both same) of the stock rom as well as one for each rom i tend to play with (right now i have a cm6, dc3.5, and dc 3.2.3) this way i can easily restore to the roms i am playing with (cm6 dc 3.5) or back to my daily driver (dc 3,2,3) with out having to much of an issue.
simple, is nandroid backup = back up and restore tool from rom manager?
thanks for the answers: )
Yes.
'Nandroid' was the name of the 1st tool that did full nand flash image backups on the G1 and it's stuck ever since.
AWESOME!! thanks for the answer very kind of you
Hope you don't mind but i'm gonna piggy back a question.
Does a nandroid backup also back up the kernal?
In other words if I flash a different kernal, find out I don't like it. Then revert my rom to a past one. Does it also revert my kernal? If no, is it possible to make a backup of my kernal?
Not at all actually I'm glad you asked that.

Pretty sure it backs up EVERYTHING, so that you could restore a phone just from that backup. Would be pretty useless without the kernal, now wouldn't it?
when restoring nandroid back ups does it have to be with same recovery version i made back up with? i had to unroot my evo from cyanogen mod 7 to take it to sprint. now im trying to restore my evo back to how it was. the nandroid restoring keeps failing. this is the log
clockworkmod recovery v2.6.0.1
checking MD5 sums...
erasing boot image...
restoring boot image...
error while flashing boot image!
i dont remember which version of clockwork i had when i made the back up. what can i do fix this?
Yes, you need to restore the backup with same recovery you used to make it.

On your sd card you will see the folder:
clockwork if cwm recovery was used
and
nandroid if amon_ra recovery was used

maybe you didnt use clockwork.. flash amon_ra recovery and try restore
Only recovery I used for my evo has always been clock work recovery. I used it with rom manager. This sucks.. I had alot of settings I don't want to reconfigure and apps I don't remember.

Not the case for me, I made a backup with the backup/restore feature running ClockWorkMod 2.6.0.1 (somewhere around that version ) and was successfully able to restore it using ClockWorkMod 3.0.0.1.

1. Has the backup somehow become corrupt?
2. Are you restoring it from a different evo?

any ideas why mine isnt working?
Restoring backup has nothing to do with unrooting anyway. When you run the ruu, its going to wipe everything. And next time, use amon ra
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
can you restore a nandroid to a different evo?

Because the system data will be different, and can and most likely will cause problems.
The best thing too do is backup your launcher settings and apps via titanium, then restore them on the new evo, though when restoring the app, ONLY do apps+data, NOT system settings.
The problem lies within your first post you cannot wipe boot with clockwork. You need to download and flash vrsuperwipe or calkulins format all. Then restore your backup because it is failing to flash your boot.img on top of an unwiped boot.

I'm going to repeat what I just said; it doesn't matter. When you unropot, everything will be wiped anyway. You will loose your data and have no way of getting it back unless you back up apps and texts before running ruu

super wipe failed.. can someone provide link for formatall that works with 2.3 evo
When you make a backup of a ROM using CWM does it also back up and reflash the boot.img when you restore from your backup? Or does this mean that you still have to reflash your kernel after restoring the ROM? Or what's so useful about a recovery?
No it doesn't restore it for you ,you have to reflash stock Rom

yes, u have to flash the boot.img or the restored rom wont boot. for example, i was using AOKP with TITANIUM KISS USB then i restored my previous PA backup. it was not booting it stuck on bootanimation.then i flashed hellboy kernel then it booted.....
Yes
Since we have a s on device we have to reflash the kernel
Sent from my One V
I just want to confirm this and it might be a foolish question... But if I'm using AOKP and I have a CM10.1 backup, can I do a restore to that backup and it will restore to that ROM as well? Or do I need to re-flash CM10.1 before restoring the backup?
Thanks, still figuring all this out!
The backup contains everything of the rom. Apps/contacts...you name it. Make sure when you are coming from another rom back to the backup to flash the boot.img from the backup !

Thanks for the quick answer! It actually looks like CWM automatically does the boot.img as well! At least for AOKP back to CM10.1...
Thanks again!
A nandroid backup contains all ! ,the recovery at the time of backing up. Even the boot.img. restoring a nandroid backup wont restore the boot img. It needs to be flashed manually
