Do you have to do anything special if your bouncing between nandroid backups with different kernels?

Not if you s-off.
If not then you also have to flash the kernel and possibly the firmware patch if ICS over GB

The patch should already be contained in the Nandroid backup being restored if it worked before.

True.........
You have to use the new firmware patch if you upgraded your firmware after the nandoid was made tho

Most important updates are newest firmware (top choice) from here http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...T-1-05-11-0606&p=220556&viewfull=1#post220556
Rename to PJ75IMG.zip, put on root of ext sd card, boot to bootloader to flash...remove/move file from ext sd card root so it won't run again next time.
Newest kernel is not in this firmware update...get modded version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700251 which is recovery flashable or stock here http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...T-1-05-11-0606&p=241703&viewfull=1#post241703 which will need to be done same way as full firmware update...bootloader. Have fun

This deserves more than a thanks button. I really appreciate the time you took putting this together.
Coming from gingerbread, I'm having a rough time finding things. Verified the bootloader version, just couldn't find radio version to verify update.

Hey guys, I installed the new venom Rom coming from the latest ics leak, I love everything about this Rom but I noticed that my baseband reverted back to the gb versions, I was never able to get 4g in my area on these old versions. I tried restoring back to the ics Rom and still have the old baseband. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
**UPDATE**
I got everything updated with a flash of an ICS RUU. I Relocked bootloader, flashed file, New Basebands and Hboot.

Uh.... what? No ROM out there does this. It would be highly irresponsible and dangerous to include radio updates in a ROM, and that ROM definitely doesn't have a radio update in the zip

Hmm.. It has me stumped. I thought it was kinda odd that even after restoring my ICS backup that had the new basebands it still restored with the old basebands.

The basebands aren't part of the rom nor are they stored when you do a nandroid backup of a rom. If you reverted them, you didn't do it from installing a new rom.
Any chance you s-off'd the phone lately?

Are you confusing the build number with the baseband numbers?
It is impossible to flash a radio in recovery so there is no was switching roms did this

My phone is still S-on for now, and I'm looking at the basebands (0.95.00.1118R, 0.95.00.1223R) I think ill try to flash the ICS RUU again and see what happens.

First I am S-Off. I was on the old GB firmware and was running CONs ICS ROM using the GB firmware patch. I then made a nandroid backup via Amon Ra. I ran the new ICS RUU to upgrade my firmware. Can I just restore my old CONROM nandroid or will I have to start over? I assume this won't work, but just wanted to ask before I screwed up my phone. Thanks!

S-off allows you to upgrade AND downgrade.. if u were s-on and tried to downgrade, u would brick ur phone. So I don't see why u wouldn't be able to restore ur Backup if ur S-off.

I think it will work fine if I remember back when I did it.

You need to reverse the patch you installed to get the SD card to mount, other then that it will work fine.
Check the AndroidFileHost link in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614366
It would be the new firmware patch, flash it right after you restore your rom.
Thanks! Nice to have peice of mind before experimenting

You probably can, but I have a few questions:
Which recovery are you using?
What kernel are you running?
How did you make your backup?
Better question: Why do you want to do this?
Twrp recovery. Stock viper kernel. And backed up with twrp
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using xda premium
I suggest making another nandroid/twrp backup of your as-is, then restoring your stock backup.
With s-on, you may need to manually reflash the kernel from adb after the stock restore.

Alrighty then.
EDIT: Oh, I see the question. (I think) you would have to reflash the kernel (boot.img) again. I think is what you are asking? I can't really remember because I have been S-OFF for so long. I remember switching from ROM to ROM was a pain in the ass because I would have to be at my computer to flash the boot.img manually via fastboot.
This is just a stock bloated Rom for anyone that wants it. Feel free to use as a base.

Don't dirty flash this one over stock. This is deodexed so it will screw things up. Been busy with getting the badseed Rom ready but I should have time to do an odexed version this weekend.

Awesome. Once its odexed I can dirty flash then?
Else I was just gonna wait for viper to update to 1.58 and flash that or worse comes to worse flash stick recovery and take the OTA but I know some have been having issues with that and the OTA would only get 40% done and fail because of some xml file differences

If you have a stock rom backup you should be able to take the OTA no problem. You just can't have anything modified in the system partition, if you do it will fail.
I just restored my untouched/unmodified stock backup and flash stock recovery and got the OTA from system updates.

I reflashed the stock recovery for the OTA, but my rom backup already had some of the bloat taken out, and other apps updated. For instance, when I tried to run the OTA is said that Kindle was not as expected, since the update was integrated into the system rom. Would I then have to wait for the odexed version of your stock version, and then have the OTA included anyway?

Shoot xposed framework had to be flashed from recovery since i still have write protection on and it needed to be a system app.

The word "firmware" is rather generalized and can apply to any type of program code flashed to a device. Don't feel dumb, because the term "firmware" is sometimes used on XDA interchangeably with the word ROM.
But their are other times when folks talk about "the firmware" (such as in posts 5 and 6 above) to mean "the other modules that are included in the 1.58 OTA aside from the ROM". I haven't looked at this particular firmware zip, but they can typically contain: hboot, kernel, radio, WiFi, media and possibly other modules.
These other modules are typically not needed to run a particular ROM. But it might be argued, if they cared enough to change them, there might be something in there worth installing.
Personally, I'm rarely in the practice up updating the firmware packages, and have only rarely seen it make much difference.
