Hi all,
I am currently on jb arhd Rom and hboot 1.31, my cid is HTC__001, I have a nandroid back up of my ics stock Rom,
If I reinstall this do I also need to flash the boot image from this back up and what are my next steps in relation to being ready for OTA.
Qball
Flash boot.img
Do a full wipe in recovery
Restore the nandroid backup
Flash the stock recovery (not the one from the nandroid backup,as i assume it's made with cwm custom recovery)

Hey,
If you do a nandroid backup, then wipe, flash a new rom and a new boot.img, will the boot.img from the previous rom be restored if you do restore it? Or do you have to fastboot flash it again? If so, is the boot.img which is found in the backup folder the one to use?
Thanks
yeah i am wondering the same question. Actually I have a nandroid backup of the stock rom, and i flashed other roms before too. I tried nandroid restore and everything did go back to stock, but I am concerned whether I need to flash any boot.img? if the stock kernel is untouched while flashing other roms, does that mean i dont need to reflash the boot.img?
When flashing other roms the stock kernel is not changed. Unless you have an s-off device. If you did not fastboot flash boot boot.img then when you restore your back up you will be fine. If you did flash a new kernel then you will need to flash the boot.img for your backup as the backup will only restore the kernel on s-off devices.

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.

Hi,
after restoring my nandroid from stock rom and flashing stock boot.img and recovery.img my HOX boots up fine. (CID T-MOB101, Hboot 1.36).
Then i´ve done a factory reset and wiped the internal SD. After that, rebooted the phone, connected it to my WLAN and started an OTA.
No errors there, but after the update Process only boot-loops. I´ve tried fastboot erase cache and the factory reset option in fastboot.
Still boot-loops.
Any Ideas what i can do now?
Thanks!
Must have removed something from the stock nandroid. Try some other backup from nandroid thread and retry the process.
Flash Stock Rom

Try restoring your backup once again and see if the issue persists. Maybe your backup is corrupted.
If that is the case, try flashing the Stock Rom with the 3.19 base (Latest) which is available in the development thread.
Or get a "new" stock nandroid backup here and try again !

If the JB version is not there, get a 2.17 based nandroid matching your main version. And also flash back the 2.17 stock recovery and update again to the JB software.
Thanks to all for your answers. But - if the phone works fine after restoreing nandroid, should the problem really be searched there?
The bootloop happend at first boot AFTER the OTA.
Could it be a problem that i had installed AHRD 20 and a jb hboot and then restored an ICS nandroid (4.0.3) ?
Can anyone point me to an official T-Mobile JB RUU? I used the search, but only can find dead links or ICS Versions.
My only Target is to get the HOX completely stock (and up to date) for selling it.
It could be in the ota ! I had a similar case a while back. We solved that by :
1: flashing the firmware to update the hboot
2: restore a nandroid JB backup
Check for a JB tmob 101 backup if its there you can do the same
Ok, got it working after using a JB T-Mobile nandriod. Thanks again.
Now its time to put hands on the Nexus4

Hey guys, just a quick question about restoring from a nandroid backup. Let's assuming I'm using custom rom A and made a nandroid backup of it. Then later on, I change to custom rom B and made another nandroid backup of that.
Well, assuming the boot.img from both custom rom A and B are different, then say if I were to restore back to custom rom A, I would have to re-flash the boot.img for that rom correct? OR, will restoring custom rom A from the nandroid backup also flash the boot.img for me automatically?
I came from other phones where flashing a new rom or from a nandroid backup is simply a one-step process. HTC One X is the first phone I've used where I have to deal with flashing the boot.img as an additional step as well, so just wanna confirm if this is the case for a nandroid restore as well.

You have to flash the boot.img for the ROM you're restoring through fastboot. Recovery cannot flash boot.img for you since you need S-OFF, which impossible to achieve (let's not go there).

yup got it. Thanks!
Hello!
I need to return using a stock rom (at the moment i'm using aicp). I have a nandroid backup of the stock rom just after unlocking the bootloader, but since then i changed kernel (from stock to xmister) and the recovery (from clockwork to twrp). Do i have to change recovery and kernel before restoring the nandroid backup? or can i leave everything as it is and flash without problem?
Thank you!
Flash the stock boot image from the nandroid zip and also a jellybean cwm recovery as the kitkat recovery will not let you restore jb nandroid.
