What is your question..? How to restore a nandroid? You need to flash a kernel with the recovery you used to nandroid baked into the initramfs.
If it is a backup of an ICS ROM I assume you made the backup with el26 with CWM5. Odin the kernel, boot to recovery and restore. After that you will need to flash or odin a ics kernel to get the backup booting.
If it is a GB backup and you're on GB now, just flash the kernel and restore it.
Sorry should be more detailed. If I unroot go back to stock el29 do a factory reset so that it deletes everything on my phone apps etc than root it again get cwm and do a restore from the nandroid. Is that safe.
Ya, that's perfectly safe as long as it's a GB nandroid.

It would be easier to Odin back to EL29 then use the Auto Root Package to install CWM on. Go into recovery and use Calk's Format All to wipe everything. Then you can restore the nandroid you have as long as it's a GB backup.
Thanks

This is probably a stupid question, but for me it does need an answer .I made a back up right before I flashed my current Rom, can i just restore to that point and wipe cache/data and just flash a different ROM? or do i have to flash back to stock dk28 with odin and then reroot and start from scratch?
Yes you can restore and then wipe and flash something else. Why not just wipe now and.flash.without restoring?

I made a nandroid backup when i was stock rooted and ive flashed a few custom roms since. So if i want to go back to stock rooted from ddw can i just restore the backup in recovery? Should i superwipe or anything. Sorry for the noob question i just havent restored a backup ever.

I would have to say yes to both of your questions...it is always a good thing to wipe before changing ROMs or even backups IMHO

I personally never superwipe if I restore a backup and i have never had problems with restoring to and from ics, gb, tw and aosp versions of both. But as the user above me says, it certainly never hurts

I think you can create a MD5 error by superwiping before restoring. Just restore the backup, and clear cache & davlik.

I don't believe that is true as I've had md5 mismatches after trying to restore and was told it is usually from changing the backups file name and or backing up in one recovery and trying to restore from another but in no dev that's just what I was told when I asked about mismatches. But doing a super wipe prior to restoring a backup will not cause md5 mismatch...as I always wipe before a restore

Yeah man :thumbup:
After I had put a brand new bootanimation onto my JB Rom I had accidently pressed "Fix permission" in recovery while I was in CWM, but it booted fine. I rebooted to see the animation again and it got stuck at the "Google" splash screen. Okay So I restored my Bone stock ICS rom and forgot it had only the original recovery so Im probably unrooted now lol. I factory reset in stock recovery since it was still boot looping and I finally booted my phone but, What Happened?? I read that the full touch very of CWM or TWRP prevents the error in restoring data from Recorvery backups. should I update my CWM?
Aw man... when you factory reset in the stock recovery. That formats the sdcard. That is probably why?

Yeah, not sure how you're even seeing the nandroid on there.
It should be wiped out...unless you restored it?
But yeah, if your backups are >2 gigs CWM 5 won't restore. It will fail on Data.
Same with TWRP 2.0.2
Both TWRP 2.2.0 and CWM 6 split the images so this isn't a problem.
However, your old backups still can't be restored.
You CAN flash a rom...and restore your user apps with Titanium Backup (Pro only, I think) from your old CWM nandroid.
That's what I'd do to get you back.

Oh no I restored my stock rom that I had backed up prior to flashing superuser via CWM. So after I restored my stock rom and data failed for that restore, I attempted to boot and it just started boot looping. so I had to fastboot into recovery mode again which took me to stock recovery and I wiped Everything from there, then I finally booted. I think I just need to get the newest versions of CWM or TWRP. lol
I tried AOKP Milestone 6 ROM but decided to go back to stock rooted ICS FF18. I originally had AGAT recovery before flashing this AOKP rom. I made a nandroid backup on AGAT which is saved on my external sd card.
I wiped data, cache, dalvik. (hope that was not a mistake). I clicked restore but no file is shown. I can see the file from TWRP recovery under sdcard/clockworkmod/backup but I don't know how to install it. Obviously I did something totally rookie. Not used to TWRP recovery at all.
How do I restore my Nandroid backup?
Well I'm going to answer my own question because I figured it out. Hopefully this helps someone else.
This video will walk you through it BUT do not use the Preserve user data option. Use the Reset user data option. Then just install AGAT recovery and you're good to go.

Thank you SFHUB and Qbking77!
Right now I am running CM11 (I did backup my stock rom when i moved to CM11) but now i willing to move on to Hellcat rom.
to flash this rom, i must have to be on the stock rom, so my question is can i use CWM to restore my backup of stock rom.
or i have to use flashtool then again root and install CWM to flash hellcat.
last time when i tried to restore stock rom via CWM i soft bricked my device..now im confused.
thanks in advance.

Noyou cant restore your stock rom via cwm. You need a zip file of the stock rom that came with you phone.. Its not compulsory that you should always be on stock to flash another ROM. factory reset wipe and flash..
but i did backup my stock rom via CWM before flashing the custom rom.
all i just want it that when i move to stock rom. i dont want to lose my root access and cwm.
if i flash stock rom ftf root access and cwm will gone right?

As long as you backed up while you were rooted and had cwm i think that they will be there but if they aren't its not a big deal to re-do them.
If you flash the ftf they will be gone.
you can flash hellcat rom over cm11 without flashing stock rom

I have done it before. Follow these steps.
1. Goto CWM and wipe user data and cache. Also wipe dalvik cache.
2. goto "mounts and storage" and format system, data, cache.
3. Now install your hellcat rom from SD card. Also flash GAPPS and reboot.
Thats it.
