Depends if your backup includes the boot.
If it does then yes, if not then no
But its not a problem, if your backup does not include the kernel then just flash the kernel you are on now...you know which one you are on,

I guess I am on stock as its the rooted stock rom I am on, where do I find just the kernel?

Just flash a stock ftf and exclude everyting except the kernel...I have one backed up somewhere, but not here...I can post it another time, but you can just do what i said.
Also, look in yout backup file. If it includes a boot.img you should be fine to flash that recovery image and it should restore the kernel

thats a link to a stock kernel, its not mine, but it says its stock unmodified...

Will that unroot it too? Or do I not need to unroot to get OTAs and Kies compatibility?

If you flash stock rom, it will unroot and remove cwm also.

Hmm, and I can use Odin to flash a stock ROM over cm10? I've never used Odin before, why cant I just flash the stock ROM over cwm?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
because stock roms doesn't come in the form of cwm installable zips.
Thanks for the advice so far guys, just a few more things:
do I need to go back to a GB rom before flashing a stock ICS ROM via Odin?
I saw in this thread that says it's optional: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
And just to make sure, if I do flash back to a stock ICS ROM via Odin, it will overwrite my current kernal/root right?

You can flash straight to ics but remember you'll then be on unsafe kernel. Do wipes before flashing.
Yes, flashing stock will overwrite kernel.

I flashed this over my stock rom without full wipe and found issue with wifi.
to get wifi working keep reading below.

To get wifi working paste these lines into updater.script before flashing rom. Thanx Tim "TiMiN8R". I poked inside your updater script to make this work.
symlink("/system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko", "/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko");
symlink("/data/etc/wlan_macaddr0", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr0");
symlink("/data/etc/wlan_macaddr1", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr1");
symlink("/data/etc/wlan_macaddr2", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr2");
symlink("/data/etc/wlan_macaddr3", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr3");

I have done some modification in your ROM (system/lib, etc) to make wifi work. For me it works. May I post it? Of course all credits are yours!
Go ahead. Feel free to do it. On my free time I have been trying to work on patch to convert t to tx roms

Back to stock from 4.3.1

I have flashed slimBean 4.3.1 and while i liked i wanted to go back to stock ROM.Will i face any problems while doing so, considering there is a custom kernel installed for 4.3.1 to work?If yes, what is the advised course of action?
Thanks in advance.
Your old kernel will be flashed if you restore a back up. You can use flash tools to simply flash a stock ROM and your phone should be like it was the first day you got it. As you have unlocked your boot loader you can just flash a kernel with root at any time.

Thats what i was expecting to hear tbh, just wanted to be sure.Thanks!
be careful with that i once flashed Existenz rom on 4.3.1 and it went into bootloop. if you want to go back to sony stock then it will be great to just flash the stock rom via Flashtool.
Or format system and data first

How do I install CWM and keep stock ROM?

I installed a CWM Recovery and it deleted my stock ROM so I decided to go and install PAC ROM which I found the WiFi doesn't work so I used Sony's flashtool to go back to stock ROM.
I want to be able to make a backup of the stock ROM then install another ROM such as CM

I'm not sure what you did, but installing a recovery shouldn't affect your rom.
In any case, XZDualRecovery is what you need.

Yeah I must admit it is very strange.

I think you installed non-supported CWM. Try to download the exact one for your phone and flash it.
