Just wipe and then use the restore feature.

My phone is rooted, backedup with clockwork and I even used sprite backup to backup the phone just in case. I plan on flashing my phone for the first time with the Epic Experience rom since it seems to be the most popular.
I'm pretty happy with my phone's current state except the battery life once in a while. So after flashing with a custom rom how do I revert back and restore my phone to the "EXACT" way it is now?
Make a nandroid backup in clockwork, then you can go back whenever you like.

Restore nandroid backup and flash stock kernel. You will most likely have to flash a non stock kernel for a custom rom, and even if you dont HAVE to, you will probably want to.
So to go back to stock, flash back to a stock kernel, and then restore the nandroid backup.
are the steps to creating nandroid backup the same on the epic as others? I can't locate a tutorial for the epic specific

yeah its pretty self explanatory, boot into clockworkmod > backup. or you can choose backup current rom an rom manager if you use it. thats your nandroid system backup
that's just confusing. So basically, a nandroid backup is the backup creating using clockwork? lol if so, that was the first thing I did after I installed clockwork.
If i clean flash a new Rom but restore the data part from a backup i did earlier from another rom from recovery will it work? Im using TWRP recovery.
ive always had mixed results on this. if youre going from a TW ROM to an AOSP or AOKP rom, likely not. If you use TiB and backup your apps and their respective data, and restore them via the same method, that 99.9999% of the time works
Hey, so I've decided to go back to Kitkat/11S as I'm not liking 12S/Lollipop. I made a Nandroid backup when I first got the phone with 44S using TWRP. Can someone tell me how I'd go about restoring this so I can get back to 44S? Is it also compatible as I'm worried that using a nandroid backup from a previous OS version could be risky?
Thanks.
There's no problem with reverting to an older Android version via a nandroid backup. Just make sure you perform a full wipe. You also need to flash KitKat firmware and KitKat modem first.

I recently bricked my D801 attempting to restore a CloudyG3 (kitkat) nandroid backup over a modified stock Lollipop ROM. I'm thinking it was because I didn't flash the appropriate KK baseband first. Is that so? Why do I need to do that? Does the nandroid backup not include the baseband? So if I had flashed the baseband first would the nandroid restore been uneventful?
If somebody could walk me through these scenarios, I would appreciate it. What I want to avoid is restoring KK stock, rooting, using KK autorec to install TWRP, updating TWRP with Blastagator's newest version, installing a new ROM, restoring apps and data from TIB, reconfiguring all system data. I want to be able to use nandroid backups to avoid all those extra steps.
Scenario 1 (as above): Going from any variation of LP stock back to CloudyG3 KK. What do I do?
Scenario 2: Going from Cloudy to AOSP-based ROM having made a nandroid backup of Cloudy. What do I do?
Scenario 3: Going from AOSP ROM back to Cloudy, hopefully using the Cloudy backup. What do I do?
I have a JDI panel btw so it's imperative I avoid white lines. I understand that using Blastagator's TWRP will help avoid that problem because it auto-switches. I also understand that many ROMs (such as Cloudy) also choose an appropriate kernel automatically. Do all/most AOSP ROMs install a kernel? If not what do I do? If so are most of them auto-switching?
I'm not hard bricking this phone again if I have to use Cloudy KK until I sell it. There are worse things. But I'd really like to be able to go back and forth using nandroid backups as I have with other devices.
Thanks,

Hello,
I'm currently running stock oos, rooted.
I need to know if I wish to flash a custom rom now and take a nandroid backup from twrp of the current rom , what all partitions do I take a backup of.
Also, if I wish to come back to oos, do I need to flash oos twice in recovery and then restore the backup taken earlier for oos, or just wipe data and restore backup without flashing oos twice.
Thanks in advance!
