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.

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.

Hi guys, i have a backup of my stock rom (The software that it comes with outoff the box) and im currently using charmander rom which ive flashed a kernel for, so if i flashed another rom, say for example cynagenmod9, could i restore back to charmander? Even if i flashed another rom after it with a different kernel? Or am i getting confused? Thanks.
When you restore a backup in ClockworkMod, it doesn't restore the boot.img (which contains the kernel).
So whenever you restore, you must also re-flash a boot.img that matches the ROM in your backup.
For example, if you install CM9, you could get back to charmander like this:
1. Connect the phone to your PC and reboot it into bootloader
2. Use fastboot to flash the charmander boot.img file
3. In the bootloader go to hboot then select recovery
4. Restore your charmander backup
Ahhh okay, thank you

I installed cm10 did not like it so i restored to my stock rom which i had a back up of in CWM. Stock samsung restored fine but i try to go into CWM and it is not there anymore and goes into stock recovery mod. Did CWM get deleted and do I have to reinstall CWM ?
Thanks !
Stock ROM = stock recovery...wonder if u lost ROOT as well?
if so Root and re-install CWM or TWRP.
I have my stock ROM backed up also, been thinking of going back to ICS for a bit and trying to find a rooted,de-bloated stock Rogers ROM in flashable ZIP format so I dont have to do the whole process again lol....no luck yet

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)
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.
