So I'm running 4.4.4 liquidsmooth right now with my note 2 but I want to go back to my stock 4.3. I also have a backup of my 4.3 stock rom and used clockworkmod recovery. But I'm not sure the steps how to revert back. Should i format and wipe cache at recovery first before i do restore?
bump!

Restore your back up via clockwork mod. You'll be back to the stock ROM.

What is your question..? How to restore a nandroid? You need to flash a kernel with the recovery you used to nandroid baked into the initramfs.
If it is a backup of an ICS ROM I assume you made the backup with el26 with CWM5. Odin the kernel, boot to recovery and restore. After that you will need to flash or odin a ics kernel to get the backup booting.
If it is a GB backup and you're on GB now, just flash the kernel and restore it.
Sorry should be more detailed. If I unroot go back to stock el29 do a factory reset so that it deletes everything on my phone apps etc than root it again get cwm and do a restore from the nandroid. Is that safe.
Ya, that's perfectly safe as long as it's a GB nandroid.

It would be easier to Odin back to EL29 then use the Auto Root Package to install CWM on. Go into recovery and use Calk's Format All to wipe everything. Then you can restore the nandroid you have as long as it's a GB backup.
Thanks

Here's the situation, I was on cm nightlies 4.3, made a nandroid of it then I odin'd back to stock 4.1.1 so I could unlock. After that I rooted and flashed cwm touch 6.0.4.3, format /system and /data wiped cache, dalvik and tried to restore my backup, it seems as everything restored correctly but then it gets stuck on splash screen.

you need to go back to the recovery you used to make the nandroid with if you want to use it; also, some times you can't restore a 4.3 backup when you are on 4.1..

I knew about that already thanks but still didn't work, and I i even flashed the cm rom then tried to restore backup but didn't work either. I just restored my phone data via sms/call log restore and tib but would like to know how to fix this in the future.
Right now I am running CM11 (I did backup my stock rom when i moved to CM11) but now i willing to move on to Hellcat rom.
to flash this rom, i must have to be on the stock rom, so my question is can i use CWM to restore my backup of stock rom.
or i have to use flashtool then again root and install CWM to flash hellcat.
last time when i tried to restore stock rom via CWM i soft bricked my device..now im confused.
thanks in advance.

Noyou cant restore your stock rom via cwm. You need a zip file of the stock rom that came with you phone.. Its not compulsory that you should always be on stock to flash another ROM. factory reset wipe and flash..
but i did backup my stock rom via CWM before flashing the custom rom.
all i just want it that when i move to stock rom. i dont want to lose my root access and cwm.
if i flash stock rom ftf root access and cwm will gone right?

As long as you backed up while you were rooted and had cwm i think that they will be there but if they aren't its not a big deal to re-do them.
If you flash the ftf they will be gone.
you can flash hellcat rom over cm11 without flashing stock rom

I have done it before. Follow these steps.
1. Goto CWM and wipe user data and cache. Also wipe dalvik cache.
2. goto "mounts and storage" and format system, data, cache.
3. Now install your hellcat rom from SD card. Also flash GAPPS and reboot.
Thats it.
I am currently running CM 11 nightlies but I miss the WIFI calling feature on the stock rom.
I would like to know how to go from 4.4.2 back to the official 4.3 while keeping my data.
Will Titanium backup help in this regard or will a nandroid backup be the way to go?
Titanium is the only way to go.
How do I go about removing CM11 and putting in the stock rom?
1. Stockmod and the related Modem.
2. Boot to Recovery and do Factory Reset.
3. Wipe Dalvik and Cache.
4. Flash Stockmod and the related Modem.
I'll be putting my Optimus G up for sale soon so I need to wipe it and return it to stock. I currently have CM 11.0 official ROM installed but I do have a backup of my stock rooted ROM. Do I need to reflash the stock ROM and do a factory reset to remove the CM11.0? Or is there more that needs to be done?

I would suggest flashing the stock ZVC rooted ROM and wiping the sd card as well as a wiping data. You should be able to do both from recovery. That would be the easiest way. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536636
You can also flash the full .bin from LGNPST. Follow this thread, it will be a COMPLETE wipe and reset everything even recovery as far as I know. This is the thread for that. (it would be what you would want to do to turn in to the manufacturer)
