How exactly do it do that? Backup custom ROM with NANDbackup and then ?
Make a nand backup then restore your backup of the stock rom.

I'd suggest to ODIN to stock, but try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866840
Yeah, Odin to stock is probably "best practices" anyway every time you flash a new ROM, eh?
And the one to do it to is the Eugene's something that won't brick right?
I think cwr has the option to turn off verification look in the menus, that might fix your problems

I think the title is pretty much self-explanatory, but let me explain the purpose of this thread.
Back when I first rooted my phone and flashed a custom rom, I made a backup of my stock rom (as recommended). Days and months began to pass by, and I decided that I would not need the back up anymore, so I deleted it. Bad move, because later on, I wanted to go back to stock, but that meant flashing the stock rom using KDZ. To this day, I've used KDZ only once, and I don't want to use it again. I decided to make and keep a backup of the stock rom just in case.
Recently, I've been thinking about making a thread, or a repository I should say, for all the stock roms out there, both froyo and gingerbread. That way, if we want to revert back to stock, we can just flash a zip.
Also, if you want to SIM unlock your phone, this is an alternative to using KDZ.
I can see how privacy may be an issue. However, I would like to say that these backups should be backups of a clean install. When I say that, I mean they should have been made right after you flash with KDZ so that the rom is clean. This way, privacy will not be an issue (the only items in my backup are: boot.img, /META-INF, /system, and installbusybox which I added myself due to problems with su).
Keep in mind that:
1) This thread will not help you if you cannot boot into recovery. That means that if you are stuck in fastboot, emergency mode, or the LG logo, I believe KDZ is the only option left.
2) Flashing these backups will not change your baseband. You need either KDZ or LGMDP for that.
3) These zips will not overwrite your current recovery.
There are two methods of obtaining this backup:
1. Use KDZ to flash the stock rom, and then make your own zip with /META-INF, /system, and boot.img.
2. Use this tutorial.
If you are interested, please PM or post the link to your backup and specify the language of the rom.

This is the original, stock optimus t rom and it is rooted.
If your phone receives water damage, I believe it should be safe if you flash the stock backup, and then unroot your phone. Your method with KDZ works too (at least what I have read from others).

I think what DarkKnight meant was that in case you need to send your device in for repair, you can just flash these zips instead of using KDZ.

You need to do that from the recovery console with CWM or TWRP. I'm not sure what you mean by looking for a file. There is none if you made a nandroid backup. Just browse to that file and your set.

1.What program did you use to make your backup? 2.Did you save it in internal memory or SD card, remember that if you wiped internal it may have wiped along with it, if its on your SD and your using twrp you have a few options.. You can hook your phone to your computer and search your SD card or find the file path by going through twrp. I have done this before, it's just simply a case of finding your backup...let me know if you still need help

Description: This is a guide (based similar to my previous guide for the Verizon Galaxy S III) that will help you flash a 99.9% stock factory image for the Verizon Galaxy S4 overwriting every partition on the device back to stock. The ONLY major change I have made is for your convenience I have modified the factory image to keep all your data/apps/settings and internal storage partition intact. This method should help you restore from any soft-brick that you may encounter without having to wipe your data.
Minor Warning: Please note that if you had any special mods that you had to manually flash before or move on the system partition (like Google Wallet, AOSP 4.2 apps like camera and gallery, etc...) they will be lost as you are overwriting your system partition to factory stock. Please make sure to do the needful with your mods before following this guide (for example resetting the Google Wallet app).

I'm rooted on ZVA and I'm wondering if there's a way to have a custom recovery without getting the security boot error and not being able to get back to stock ROM? Not sure if I'm ready to go to a custom ROM with the only way of returning to stock being LGflashtool.
You can have the stock rooted ZVA ROM downloaded and flash that after you flash the recovery but i would recommend to have it saved to an external sd card so it doesnt get deleted when you wipe your phone first thats why i like having a 64gb sd card for my phone
Ok, I had thought about that but really wanted to be able so use the original. Wish LG didn't make it so difficult now, makes me miss my Optimus G sometimes.
