I should be getting my replacement from ATT today.
Can I just restore the nandroid image on the new phone through CWM (through the update zip and recovery) or is it best to just re-flash and restore via TiBu?

Second method wud be my choice. Atleast most of us know it works
A nandroid backup will not work from a different ROM version. So, you will not be able to just restore your backup once you get into CWM. You can flash the ROM you had previously, the one you made the backup of and then once that is installed you can restore your backup and you should be like you were.
Hi,
I hope that my experience could help other persons that fall in my situation.
After a try of CM, I couldn't restore my stock backup anymore, the phone hanged up in the lg boot screen.
There were no problems about ext4 partition or wiping or fixing permission.
I was thinking to do a NVflash procedure, but i gave another try: using old modaco CWM recovery. I overwrited CWM 4.2.0.2, performed a wipe, installed the modaco zip ext4->ext3 (i didn't remember if i was ext 3 or 4) and then restore my STOCK backup: EVERYTHING WAS FINE!!!
Maybe there's a problem in the newest CWM during restore a backup, i don't know, but in this way i could restore my original firmware.
Hope that this could be usefull.
Did you do your stock backup with modaco CWM? It has different MD5 checksum than the CWM. Might be the case why you can't restore your backup.
No, I did the stock backup with the original CWM.
I think that the problem is in the restore procedure of the original CWM (4.2.0.2), in fact also the CM restore is impossible, only if you install the zip immediately after the restore. Instead... hangs up.
I find when that happens the best method is to reflash the rom your restoring and just restore the data from your nandroid backup. Always works for me.
confirm this issue with cm & nandroid restore

This is true, restore and then install the rom. But how if your restore is the stock rom? NVflash? It's not the same.
Fortunally, Modaco CWM solve it without this procedure.
Thanks!!
This solve my problem with my stock nandroid restore. I downgrade CWM to 3.1.4 (did the backup with 3.2.8 version) and now works perfect!!
Finally i could restore my stock rom.
my solution was...
1. nandroid backup of mcr
2. full wipe & installed cm7
3. nandroid restore of mcr
4. installed mcr without wipe (this solved bootloop after restoring)
Trying to restore my HTC One using a Nandroid backup.
Before i try to experiment i just wanted to confirm on the process
boot into recovery
select back up restore option
select restore backup
select the backup you wish to restore and let it do its thing
then reboot
Iam running on cwm recovery v6.0.3.6 so i hope i need to place the file in/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/filename.zip.
can some one please confirm me on the same ?
Thanks in advance.
correct
So if I understand correctly, I have no way of making a full nandroid without first flashing a custom recovery (CWM / TWRP) that would perform the actual backup.
So, actually, my nandroid will not be of full stock firmware, but will backup the root & custom recovery instead of original state.
So, in order to make a full restore I'd still need to do what's listed in nkk71's guide.
There is no other way to back up / restore stock phone rom?
Root can be undone and stock recovery restored after running a nandroid to return to full stock.

you can backup without being rooted and all that will be different is the recovery which can easily be downloaded and flashed after returning to stock nandroid backup.
you should check theirs probably already a stock rom for your phone anyway

Thank you. I have just installed the TWRP and made me a nice nandroid
First TWRP start was scary though, took almost a minute
Now to proceed with a nice ROM
Hi... If I do a nandroid backup then relock my boot loader, flash an ruu then restore the backup, will it restore my device to before the lock and flash? If so how would I back-up so that it doesn't do that?

If you make a nandroid and want to keep it you will need to copy it to your PC before running the RUU. And then copy it back to your internal storage afterwards as the Ruu will wipe your internal storage.
Restoring the nandroid would restore your ROM and apps to as it was before but you will still have the updated firmware. If your old rom and new rom are on the same base i.e both lollipop roms you can restore just the Data partition from your nandroid without effecting the new rom. But this is not recommended it updating from kitkat to lollipop.
You can also use titanium backup to backup your data then restore it to your new rom once you've finished updating. But again you will need to save your titanium backup folder to your PC before using the ruu.
In short if your updating from Lollipop to newer version of lollipop. You can use the Restore Data only from nandroid method.
Kitkat to Lollipop Titanium Backup would be best.
