I unlocked, rooted and am now running the android revolution HD rom with a theme and updated boot animation.
This might be a silly question but will I need to restore a nandroid of stock rom to accept a Google update??

+1 im curious about this too... I'm not sire if its different with Google phones

yes, you would need to restore. if you running custom ROM, your updates depend on developer not Google.
Just restore to stock rooted? I don't have to inroot and relock do I?

Most of it has to do with the recovery. I believe the OTA's need the stock recovery and won't work with CWM.
Are there any methods to backup stock kernel?

Just backing up the boot.img isn't safe enough as the kernel could have flashed a different WiFi driver or a few other system files. Safest way is it backup boot and system.

If you already flashed a custom kernel without making a nandroid, there isn't anything you can do except reflash the ROM.

If you have the images (and you do, since there is an Odin stock tarball floating around), you can easily re-pack them up to flash in CWM...

This is like Best ROM or kernel threads. There is no BEST. Just try them both and see which one you like it. However, I did do a TWRP and CWM comparison thread. If you're interested, PM me.

No.
Easiest method is to use Goo Manager, as stated.
Or you can find the .img and fastboot flash it.

Sorry for my english, I`m quite bad... I was wondering if someone could help me with my gnex, Some months ago i bought one, it was rooted and with the bootloader unlocked. Í´ve changed the ROM so many times and then i decided to go back to stock. The problem that I have is that my phone is only working with 4.0.4, I´ve tried everything... odin, the tollkit, re-locking the bootloader and trying to update by OTA, nothing works. When I try to update it to 4.1 or another version it keeps on bootloop. I´ve tried changin the baseband, kernel, recovery, tried all official ROMS whit toolkit... Only 4.0.4, cm9 it works but when i try to uptade it goes on bootloop again...
I don´t know what to do. I`m sorry if I`m posting in the wrong section...
When you was flashing ROM's did you do a factory reset?

Yes, of course. Toolkit os flashing the userdata.img and erasing all. Then in recovery I try the factory reset but it keeps con bootloop...
How do you try to update? What ROM do you want to flash? Which recovery do you use? Using which method do you try to update?

I've tried with all methods. OTA over official 4.0.4, toolkit, odin. Nothing.
I want to update it, I don't like ICS. I've tried all types of versions, only ICS ROMs are working. I've tried with diferent recoverys also. Nothing...
I'm desperate

Did you try fastboot? That erases everything and has the highest chance of succes.

My maguro/gnex happen like this as well.
What i do, copy any custom rom(4.4 latest) into sd/data when in ics rom.
Then i flash cwm recovery using adb in fastboot
Then i boot into cwm then flash that custom rom zip file.
And it works.
Or you can find stock jdq39/4.3 in zip and flash that.

Did you try installing the stock factory 4.3 ROM from Google?
Search the forum and you will find the link, download and use fastboot it even the toolkit and install that. That will erase everything and should have nothing to do with your recovery or root.
But you will end up with stock 4.3 ROM
