Restoring your backup should be fine. I'll be sure to wipe cache, data and system before restoring.

i updated my phone from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich. i did a nandroid backup for the gingerbread. if i decided to go back to gingerbread, i just gotta go into recovery and do a restore? or do i gotta reset wipe factory again and wipe data,cache dalvik?

Before flashing anything even if it's nandroid, it is always best to wipe it clean.

And flash proper radio before restoring, if necessary

The recovery restore doesn't reflash my old radio and kernal? Cuz I'm not even sure what radio it had. So I pretty much need to do all the steps again like I'm flashing a new but use the the restore in place of flashing new rom.

The recovery restores everything (including kernel) but not the radio. I have switched back and forth between ics and gb a few times without ever wiping before a restore and never had a problem. I would argue its not necessary but certainly doesn't hurt.
Hi, not sure if this has already been asked but I have a question...
I've got a stock rooted galaxy nexus yakju with 4.1.1 on it and wanted to know if I make a nandroid backup of that, would I be able to flash cm10 on just to play about on it and then go back to that backup I made of everything stock when I've finished playing about?
Or would I not be able to flash a stock nandroid backup?
Thanks

Yeah you can make a nandroid backup, wipe and flash a new ROM, then go back to your nandroid and the phone will be exactly as it was when you made that backup.
Thanks dude, this is going to awesome

When restoring a backup from ics to jb or from jb to ics through cwm recovery, should I wipe cache/dalvik or factory in between, or does the back up overwrite things in a manner maikng it unnecessary?

I think you should always wipe cache and dalvik. It will not hurt anything and can only prevent problems.
When you are switching from JB to ICS you may also need to wipe data (unless you are restoring data that was backed up with ICS).
The backup will only wipe/restore what was included in the backup.
Thank you, good to know!

I just flashed liquid smooth 4.2.1 jelly bean and saw that I can't restore Data from titanium backup? Has anyone tried it? What will happen of you do. I have lots of apps that I wish to restore with that. Thanks.

Hey guys. I have a custom rom running on 4.3 can I flash a 4.4 rom over it or do I need to do some kind kind of reset or preparation? Thanks!

Best advice is to backup any apps and data you want with something like titanium backup, then boot to recovery and make a nandroid backup, then wipe clean then flash ROM of choice. Then if there is anything you wish to restore from previous ROM use titanium, or however you backed things up. Note not everything likes to restore between android versions but most will be fine from 4.3 to 4.4
