Do i need to flash a stock boot.img when restoring a backup from TWRP?
My experience points to yes because I tried and it never got to boot animation after nandroid restore. Not 100% sure though.

Well if you think about it technically... If your backup is a custom rom and you restore it you have to flash its kernel, so since the backup is like a custom rom only backupped so you will have to flash its kernel too

Yes. Nandroid backup will restore everything backuped.

Just a quickie...
Done a nandroid backup from within 4EXT recovery of my phone, which is stock 2.3.4, as I'm tempted to give one of the ICS custom roms a go.
These require flashing the ICS firmware before installing the custom ROM.
If I go back via the nandroid restore from recovery, does this restore the firmware or would that need re-flashing first?
No, it does not.

No it will not restore firmware, but if you keep a library of firmware on your SD card you can install as you need from recovery. Rename the PG58IMG files with a reference to the firmware so you don't get muddled up, then rename to PG158IMG as you need.
I remember seeing over in the Dev. forums that CWM recovery isn't restoring the kernel properly when people try to restore their backup of the stock ROM
Does this happen with TWRP as well? Or is the issue with the stock ROM / Kernel?
I'm hesitant to try CM9 and would like a clean way to recover to the stock ROM without having to use the downgrade method and reinstall everything.

From what I read in the CM9 thread someone had the same issue when using TWRP.
Nandroids don't include the kernel i believe it must be restored seperately
It should, wouldn't that be in boot.img? I know on my Droid Inc I have gone between sense and aosp backups, both using different kernels.

I have a Moto G (XT-1032) unlocked. I would install cyanogenmod. My question is if i make a backup of the stock rom via custom recovery and can this backup restore later if i don't like Cyanogenmod or i must install the Stock rom via fastboot?
Thanks for all answer

You have to flash the stock kernel from Fastboot at least, because the stock and cm kernels aren't compatible. After that (in theory) you can restore your nandroid backup.

ok thanks for the answer. i will test it and answer later
okay i tested with two roms but these roms are based of stock rom. i installed these roms and after testing i restore stock rom from recovery. And it was all fine you don't need to flash the kernel from fastboot

Just make a nandroid backup of your current ROM before you flash the kernel, if you need to go back to stock just restore the nandroid and you'll be back to what you had before you flashed. No need to complicate things with trying to backup just your stock kernel, a normal nandroid backup will do what you're looking for.
