Just want to make sure if the nandroid backup & restore is really working on Sensation with latest CWM since I have made a bunch of backups and I am heavily messing around with the phone for the past 48 hours lol... Just to be sure this backups are going to actually work in case I screw the phone...

Do remember that clockwork /nandroid restore will not restore the kernel. If you flashed a rom that's using a custom kernel, you will need to flash the stock kernel before trying to restore your backup or you will get stuck in a boot-loop.
Thank you both! Just wanted to confirm!

Yes, I'd love to know this along with how to get a copy of the original kernel....or is the kernel in the .zip files on the regional oem rom thread?
not working for me
You can find the stock kernel in the second post in the Android Revolution HD thread over in the development section.

isnt the boot.img the kernel and init stuff? i was under the assumption it was backed up when you do a nandroid on most devices (like HTC). the RFS file system samsung uses on their devices prevented us from backing up and restoring a boot.img file so we have to always have a kernel in case of the good ol boot loop
so to go back to stock kernel, i install it to the sd card then flash it in recovery right?

Yeap... That's how you flash a kernel, but not needed if what you want to do is restore from a nandroid backup... To restore just select the nandroid backup you want to restore. No need to flash any kernel prior restoring from nandroid.

since when do you have to reflash a stock kernel in order to flash your backup? I have tried every rom out here for the sensation didn't like any of them and reflashed my backup of stock with no issues....

This is not true. Nandroid contains the kernel image.
You would only have to flash a different kernel AFTER you restore, if you don't want to use the one that you backed up.
To the point, nandroid restore works perfect with 4.0.1.5 CWM. I confirm.
Getting mixed signals here guys. Does nandroid backup / restore the kernel?

Yes... Restore everything exactly when you back it up... Kernel and everything exactly.

Nandroid is just the CWM backup? Or am I missing something?

You cannot restore a ROM of a different version of android than the one you are running.

It mean that i should first flash 4.0.3 than restore the stock rom

check this "funbook gizmolord" website... goggle that words and check the website...
The way you're stating things is off, so I'm assuming you mean you created a Nandroid before flashing the new Rom? If so then yes, just wipe data, wipe cache, format and remount system and then re-flash the stock Rom by whatever method your devices uses.
I have a problem restoring backup of my stock rom made with cwm.Restore does not report any errors, but when I reboot my tablet I got bootloop.
Any ideas?I am on CM 9, Cwm 6.0.1.0.

Do "Wipe Data/factory reset" before and after flashing the rom !!!
it will surely help you :good:
I have the same but I forgot to do a backup...
if I wont sucess what I should do?
Try to flash superwipe script(check tiger sense rom thread or akya's thread)
then again format your sd-ext partition
Then try to flash rom you wish
Just give it a try
It May work for you:thumbup:
