I made a nandroid backup last november(Official Stock 4.1.2),since im going to flash a rom
So is it possible to go back in my Nandroid backup(Official Stock 4.1.2)?
I already have a bootloader of NE4.
It is unlikely that a 4.1.2 nandroid will restore properly to a KK bootloader.

When you change from stock to the first custom ROM, you 'usually' do a nandroid backup before patching the ROM.
If you decide to restore that stock backup, will you lose root on your phone?
Hi all,
I ran into a strange situation, and I need help.
I was using AOKP JB 4.2.1 on my HOX, but before I flashed it, I made a nandroid backup from my original rooted stock JB, of course.
Two days ago I wanted to use this backup and flash my rooted stock JB again, but CWM gave an error message (md5 is wrong) so I was not able to revert back to this nandroid backup.
I have several nandroid backups, but they are my previous ICS roms. After updateing my stock ICS to stock JB over OTA, my HBOOT changed of course.
Am I able to flash one of my older ICS backups, and then upgrade it again to JB with OTA?
Thanks for your help!
Sure. Remember boot.img!

And the stock recovery .....
I did the same thing myself yesterday - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119166
Read Clyde's tutorial in the Development thread.
Get the ICS 2.17 recovery.
Follow the tutorial.
Remember to lock your bootloader before installing the update!
Good luck!
No with a stock backup you do not have to lock the bootloader !
Hello,
I have my phone with 4.3 Jelly Bean with MK4 bootloader. I want to restore my earlier 4.1.2 backup. Is it now possible to restore my 4.1.2 backup now as the bootloader has been updated?
I read some worrisome posts that once you upgrade the bootloader to 4.4.2 you cannot go back. I'm currently running fully functional 4.3 rom and have nandroid backup of it, where everything is working. I'd like to try to upgrade to KitKat rom, but if things don't go well for whatever reason - I'd like to have the security of knowing I can restore the nandroid of my working 4.3 rom. Based on what I read it may not be possible. My nandroid backup has all partitions in it, including boot and recovery (twrp 2.6.3.8). Can anyone confirm or deny if I'm on 4.4 rom with 4.4.2 bootloader, running twrp 2.7 - will I be able to restore my 4.3 nandroid, if needed?

From everything that I have read the answer is no. It does not matter that you have a backup of the 4.3 bootloader. When you flash the 4.4 bootloader it trips a qfuse (I am not to familiar with qfuse, but that is what everyone is saying) and at that point you cannot revert to the old bootloader.

Once my device has been rooted and I installed any custom rom and need to go back to stock for future OTA .
I have a Nandroid backup done with TWRP
Could I restore my Nandroid backup and flash stock recovery and I'm all set for any future OTA ?
