Hi All,
This might look like a silly question but i am really curious to know.
If i make a nandroid backup with a speedmod k3-13 kernel, then i flash hydracore 5.4. i go to cwm and choose to restore the nandroid backup i made with speedmod, what will happen?
does the nandroid restore ... put the speedmod back in?
sorry for the example but all i wanted to ask was
is it ok to do a nandroid restore made a particular kernel to be restore on a different one ?

I haven't tested it on Note but I have tried it on my ealier phones (X10i, Optimus 2X , Desire) and it always worked fine.
Restoring backup will change the kernel too (the one included in backup).
so ideally it should just change the kernel that's included in the backup and restore normally right ?

Yes, ideally it will. basically it's like flashing a different rom, I have seen few developers distributing their roms as nandroid backup.
From my personal experience there could be issues if different version of CWM are used for bkup and restore.
I always do as follows and this way works for me with no issues:
1) bkup with any kernel
2) restore with speedmode or abyss 4.2
so if I backup with philz kernel and restore with speedmod won't that be diff version of cwm?

Hello,
I need to know before install Overcome & CWM if it's possible to backup my stock KERNEL. Currently i have 2.6.36.3 kernel.
I think that is better to restore with the original kernel if need to use tha warranty one day ?
So is it possible to backup or download the stock KERNEL.
Thanks a lot for your help.
before you do anything get a nandroid backup and save that original nandroid backup.
Nandroid Backups are a full ROM backup, that means:
Radios
ROMs
Kernels
User Data
Trying to claim a warranty after you violate the terms and services isn't the most honest thing to but if you intent to cheat the warranty system that just hold on to your backup. A nandroid backs up everything
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply. For the warranty I am okay with you regarding the honesty.
About the Nandroid ROM backup, i read somewhere that full backup must be done but it backup all except the Kernel !
I am little bit lost :
1/ The KERNEL Backup can be done with Nandroid backup ?
2/ Can we make Nandroid backup with stock ROM & stock Kernel (fresh TAB) ?
3/ The CWM is it a Kernel ?
Thanks a lot.

CWM stands for clockwordmod, its a custom recovery. You need a custom recovery before you can start changing things about your tablet. It is Not a kernel. Think of a car. A kernel is like eh engine, the recovery is like a toolbox. Its more complicated but thats the idea. The stock recovery is too limited, which is why we have custom ones
When you do a nandroid back up it backs up everything. When you do a nandroid back it backs up the kernel as well as the ROM all of your settings and app data. All in one.
If you want a stock nandroid Do it first thing after you have a custom recovery. A nandroid is saved in the clockwordmod folder. Then save that file somewhere safe. Flash drive computer t whatever.
Hope this helps

Here is the Flashable zip for backup your Old recovery and kernel
First, You need root
From your stock recovery, Flash backupkernelrecovery.zip.
Approximately 30 seconds, backup process will make a folder "mybackups" in your SD card,
Reboot as normal, and Open "My Files" and see folder "mybackups"..
You'll find 2 file recovery.img(your stock recovery) and boot.img (stock kernel)
For Restore your recovery.img
download overcome cwm from alterbridge86 thread, unzip the file and replace recovery.img from that files with yours..zip again and flash from recovery, reboot and you got your old stock recovery..
Warning: Only restore Stock recovery after nandroid Restore done..with same firmware
Tested on my P7300 and works..
Hello All
Thanks a lot for your help.
I'm now on overcome 2.2.0 with Motley Kernel.
I just done a Nandroid Backup before. I also found on Net a file to restore all, Stock rom & Kernel.
Thanks again.
Hi all,
I'm just curious on what is the right way to make Nandroid backup on the International Note? *I'm used to my AT&T Galaxy Note that only uses 1 CWM version - so I have no clue with the N7000*
So I already know that I have to use the Abyss Kernel to flash in between Custom ROMs.
How about making Nandroid Backup and Restore?
Should I flash Abyss first, then reboot to recovery (from advanced, not restarting the phone) then make the back up or restore from there?
Or should I use the CWM version of the ROM that I last flash that I want to backup (e.g. Alliance ROM)?
Will it affect restoring from different CWM versions?
Thanks!

Somehow it will affect, and i am not sure you can restore from diff roms.
nandroid backup procedure is same(going in cwm recovery and do backup)

Oh ouch .. that is really a good point. So Nandroid does NOT back up CWM?
If it does not, I guess .. I can only restore from nandroid using only one ROM with the same CWM it used.
Hi keplenk =)
I backup and/or restore almost every day. I'm not a cwm-r or android expert at all, just talking from my own experiences.
In the beginning, many months ago, when I just had bought my N7000 I flashed/restored/backup/wiped from all kind of kernels and cwm recovery versions, and it happened that I wasn't able to restore my backups. It was kind of very frustrating from time to time to loose a well tweaked and configured rom. But I was lucky I didn't emmc brick. That I realize today.
Then I changed my cwm-r habits. And I would for backups recommend you just enter cwm-r from whatever rom you are using and make a backup (nandroid). It will backup your kernel and cwm-r too.
To restore I would say it's a good idea to flash Abyss4.2, then REBOOT recovery to full wipe and then restore rom. Make sure you really installed Abyss4.2 and REBOOTED recovery before you wipe because else there could be a risk you end up with a nasty emmc hardbrick depending on if you are on a safe kernel or not. Many people would probably say it's not necessary to wipe, and maybe it isn't. But by the time I didn't it happened once in a while that I got problem with restore, not often at all though, but still it happened a few times. Since I started using this method with wipe, restore has worked fine without any problems hundreds of times (yes, I flash/backup/restore a lot xD, haha).
But once again, I'm just speaking from my own experiences nandroid backup/restore... I don't say it's the proper or best way to do it. It works fine for me though.
Happy Flashing =)

I'm currently running a rooted stock ICS w/Chainfire kernel.
I'm going to try one of the leaked JB (LSA to be exact) along with the associated Philz kernel.
My only concern is that if I don't like or have too many problems with JB and I want to go back and restore my ICS nanadroid backup.
Question: IF I do need/want to restore my ICS backup from JB, would I run the restore from Philz kernel or reload back Chainfire kernel and then do restore?
Thanks
Restore from philz kernel will do the job

Restoring my CWM recovery will do..its just like restoring a Restore Point in PC (here even the data will be restored)..

PhilZ Kernel....
Hello all I'll keep this short. Yesterday I flashed the philz safe kernel for my note and I did a backup. I want to flash super nexus, and in doing that I know I have to flash the CM10.1 kernel first. My question is this, when I flash super nexus and I want to go back to my original backup, do I need to reflash the philz kernel before I restore or can I just do a straight up restore regardless of which kernel I am on and it will restore the phone with philz kernel?
You can restore the backup on the CM kernel.. after the restore, it will replace the kernel with the one in the backup
Thanks alot for the quick response mate, just wanted to make sure before i move on. Cheers
enjoy super nexus
I have a Nandroid Backup of my phone. If I wanted to restore everything from the backup apart from the kernel how would I go about doing this in CWM? I would like everything thing back such as apps etc but not the kernel
Thanks a lot in advance

I am not sure that is possible. What about restoring the backup and flashing a kernel afterwards in recovery without rebooting?
May be you can do it using philz recovery. It has a custom restore option.
