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

In ROM Manager, Virtuous has the stock kernel available for download and install.

Will a nandroid backup include the stock kernel?
Or will that need to be reinstalled from a download, even after restoring via nandroid?

Thanks... won't worry about doing any extra kind of backup then.
Hi
I backed up my stock rom with the correct boot.img.
I then flashed the boot.img supplied with the insertcoin rom and then flashed the rom itself.
When I wanted to restore the backup of the stock rom I also had to flash the boot.img again - is this normal? I was expecting that when I did a restore of the stock rom it would also have backed up the correct boot.img?
Let me know if I'm doing something wrong
Thanks
Manny

Because the phone is currently s-on you can't flash boot.IMG from.clockworkmod has to always be done from fast boot.

I am currently using cm10 with hellboy kernel and have a cvm backup of stock rom. I was wondering if *touchwood* something were to happen to the custom rom will a simple recovery be enough to get back to sense? or is there some kernel which will have to be flashed first? or is ruu the only way of going back to sense?
if u have a nandroid backup of stock ROM u can restore it and flash the boot.img found inside that particular backup.if u do not have a stock backup u will have to apply ruu or u can even restore nandroid backups of stock ROM found on XDA.

i just wanted to know since a nandroid backup backs up the boot.img of a rom as well as the data, could i make different "stock" backups of roms and just format the system and factory reset and restore roms from backups? like say i back up pacman rom, then go to stock. can i just reflash pacman without the boot.img (say i dont have a computer) and restore the backup? would that make the boot.img work? cause if so i could have one backup of each rom on my 16gb sd card and just reflash when i need it. thanks guys

Which recovery are you on and are you primoc or primou?..... I don't think the recovery will actually backup the boot.img even though it says it does... someone else might be able to answer better though
Sorry forgot that but I'm primoc with twrp 2 recovery on Pac man 19.3

Before flashing rom, i always make nandroid backup of my current rom.
But my question is right now i am on stock rom(with KTT kernal) and i am looking to flash cm11.
If i flash cm11 then can i restore my backup rom with CWM?
will i get all my data data on my stock rom?
or i have to do all the same thing flash stock rom with flash tool and again root it and install cwm all this things.
It would be great if you help.
