Is restoring from NANDROID backup the same as reinstalling the Rom? - HTC One X

I am currently on tbalden's latest CM9 build and want to go back to ARHD 9.1.0, I have a nandroid backup of 9.1.0 and should I just restore from that backup or reinstall the rom. Does restoring from a Android backup also change the kernel?

No not the boot.img

no the backup will restore all data except the boot.img which you need to get off your sdcard/clockworkmod/backups/XXXXXXXXX/folder
restore your rom then flash the boot.img

i have a question too.
i have a nandroid backup of my stock rom.

Hi!!! I have a question... when I restore a backup made in recovery mode the kernel is restored automatically or I have to flash it again after the restore?
Thank you.

You have to flash the boot.img again if you're restoring a different ROM.

No. Restore it in CWM, flash TWRP and back it up again in TWRP.

Question about Nandroid

My question is that how to restore nandroid backup on different OS just as restoring stock rom backup to cm7 rom,also just need to restore its "data" only.how to do?
I don't think you can restore another rom's data.
Isn't that why you have to wipe data and cache before flashing, to avoid failures?

TWRP BIGG radio not working after restore

I tried restoring a backup of Stock Debloated ROM and the radio didn't work. I tried restoring a previous backup in case it was just an issue with that backup and it was the same. Is this an issue with TWRP BIGG or did I do something wrong? I did a full wipe before restoring.

yes offcorse, like evry rom you flash you flash the boot.img then the backup is rom and you must to flash the boot.img from the backup:silly:
Fair do's. The ROM booted fine though - all good except for the radio. Would've thought it wouldn't boot if it needed boot.img flashing. Or does a backup restore ok but with issues if the boot image isn't flashed?
In my case I'd tried Unboxed ROM & so had flashed boot.img for that ROM. Could it be that that was still in place & is why it was able to boot but with issues? Does a full wipe leave that in place?
Also, can boot.emmc.win from a TWRP backup be flashed via fastboot as it is or does it need to be renamed to boot.img?

yes you must to flash boot.emmc.win via fastboot.
No not in any case. Somtime you can flash the rom without boot.img and the rom will boot but with issue somtime just stuck on boot logo and stay there forever
