Recovery restoring

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.

[Q] Nandroid backups on stock Android 4.3

Has anybody tried to backup/restore a Nandroid backup of stock Android 4.3?
My device always stuck at the Samsung boot logo. No matter CWM or TWRP.

Can you explain what do you mean with "stuck"? Bootloop?

Of course
a bootloop : Device keeps restarting itself
Stuck : Samsung boot logo stays on screen, Android is not starting.

Yeah custom roms work fine, but stock doesn't

Are they(custom roms) working in your case? I didn't tried stock but it should work fine.

I tried WanamLite v4.1. After restore, I saw device was notifying a FC vibrate without showing a FC window.

Did you wiped every partition before restoring? If no, then you should format it.

Recoveries already do that before restoring a nandroid backup.
Does your restored! rom vibrate once, then vibrate twice at boot?
If no, what custom rom are you using?

I always wipe partitions as I do before flashing a new rom. Recovery doesn't auto formats the partition afaik. You have to manually format each partition.
No..my restored rom never vibrate ever during boot. It boots up normally like it does always.
Overall my suggestion is-Wipe all partitions before restoring and I bet this time it will boot normally.

On TWRP, you can clearly see it's using makefs command to format partitions. PhilZ recovery is based on CWM, I don't know about it.
As I said, I have problems with the stock rom, not with custom roms.
I asked a note3 owner about nandroid backups on his device. He said he tried to restore once using TWRP 2.6.3.0 but he's got bootloop. He was using stock android.

you need to flash the boot.img from your backup for the phone to boot properly. if you're s-off then it should have done it by itself but i'm going with that you're s-on so you need to flash the boot.img from your pc.

and fastboot erase cache ater the boot.img flash, to prevent boot issues

Thanks all for help it all works now

No it dosen't flash via recovery you must install boot.img custom via fastboot and computer. In the nandroid backup you have boot.img go in fastboot connect to computer and flash the boot.img

It's lapoyta onelyx kernel.
Nothing is stuck, but I was just experimenting with kernel. So to go to a previous setup of nandroid, I need exactly the same settings on which I tested the kernel. I don't know which options I chose when I flashed the corresponding zip file.

No you don't need to reflash the kernel. Nandroid backup is what you backup last time with the kernel included inside when you restor it you have your phone with the latest thing you backuped. If you backup ARHD with lyapota kernel when you restore the backup you will have ARHD with lyapota kernel you will not have ARHD with different kernel because you backuped ARHD with lyapota kernel.

But earlier you said that the kernel doesn't flash and I should flash the boot.img from the nandroid if I have changed the kernel

now:
1. When you flash nandroid backup you must install it via recovery and flash the boot.img from nandroid backup
2. When you install ROM you must install via recovery and flash boot.img from rom archive
3. When you flash kernel only you must to install modules via recovery and flash boot.img from kernel archive
What you can't understand? Nandroid backup is like you install rom all the installation on s-on device is the same!!!

Post #9 you said:

I think you're being a bit contradictory, but I'll just go with what you said in your last post.

yes when you flash the nandroid you don't need to flash any kernel it is included in the nandroid backup but if you want to change the kernel after restoring the nandroid you must to flash the boot.img from your new kernel and after this the modules of the new kernel. Kernel is not only the BOOT.IMG and all boot.img is different for each ROM and kernel!!!!

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
