Restoring STOCK (or other) BACKUP after CM

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)

[Q] Nandroid backup question

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

[Q] Qus about the new TWRP

I want to flash the new TWRP recovery using CWM (Clockworkmod Rec), but i have a backup file (stock rom) from my CWM,
My question is:
IF i want to get back to stock how can i replace the new TWRP with CWM and restore my stock ROM ?
OR is it possible to restore CWM backup file with TWRP ?
Thanks :fingers-crossed:

Its not possible to restore CWM recovery backup under TWRP recovery
Make a new backup after flashing TWRP recovery
Another option is return to CWM recovery and after that restoring your stock rom CWM backup

Stock Recovery

system ,boot ramdisk and vendor partitions are enough to restore from Custom ROM.
