Hi guys if I restore back to my stock rooted nandroid and flash the stock recovery img that I backed up can I receive att ota? If not what do I need to do many thanks
Yup, as long as no system files were altered before making that nandroid you should be good to go. Restore stock nandroid, restore stock recovery. Root is okay, as well as unlocked bootloader.

Hello there guys.
I've done a full backup with clockwork but if i try to restore it i get a error message about the boot image...i can't restore it. now i was able to restore system..data..and so on via advanced restore...i get no boot animation but the system is up an running. i can't get the wifi to work...what can i do now?
I used a clockwork 4.0.1.4 with root enabled..i flashed it whit Odin.
Thanks guys
forgot to mention I own a Galaxy S 2
Flash a clean stock rom as your backup is corrupt.

Same issue
I took a full backup with CWM (4.0.0.2) to test a Kitchen ROM. After getting it to work I wanted to switch back to my standard ROM (CF-Root KE7), but it failed with the boot image ("error flashing boot image").
If the backup was corrupt I would expect the MD5 to fail, but it didn't. Like the OP I was able to restore all the other items one by one, which now gives me a Frankenstein ROM: KE7 with the Kitchen-selected Kernel (Ninphetamine) and baseband (KH1).
I'll flash a new stock ROM with CF-Root again, but I am doubting CWM now.
Had a quick question. I just rooted my Tab. Used Rom Manager from market to backup the original ROM. Going to flash with Task650 ROM and 1.4oc kernel. My question is if I want to restore the original ROM after I do this. Do I get the original Kernel back with the restore as well? Or do I need to back this up seperate?
Thanks!
This is what id did, I flashed clockwork recovery with odin, i went into recovery did a back up in clockwork recovery and not rom manager. Rom manager does not always give you a good back. Then i rooted the tab after that. So when i restore to stock, i restore the stock rom unrooted. And last you have to reflash stock recovery with odin. I have done this at least 3 times and it restores totally to stock.
Thank you!

So I probably should of asked this before flashing but anyways, I flashed CWM to my tablet and I am about to flash aokp to it but I was wondering if I was going to go to back to complete stock again does it matter what stock 3.2 recovery I use to get official updates? I did make a nandroid backup so I am not to worried about getting a stock OS but its just the stock recovery that bothers me.
For the record I have a Canadian WIFI 16 gig tablet.
Official updates...? Odin is the only official update you need! :] Just so you know, you can't completely revert to stock unless it's for that specific firmware, only way to do that is by a clean flash to avoid all the un-necessary bricks and such.
Nandroid backup does not exist on stock and last I checked the recovery and CWM do the same job of "Applying update.zip" so it shouldn't matter, it's the firmware's regional value that matters, not the recovery.
So if I were to do a restore of my nandroid backup (from CWM) then that means that I would be able to get the notice that I would be able to update to the latest official firmware from Samsung no problem?
As long as you don't use Cus ROM's then yes.
I did a nandroid backup recently but i still have CWM so to receive OTA updates do I need a stock recovery or can I stick with CWM?
If I need a stock recovery to flash where about could I find one to download?
Disregard this post

does upgrading to official ics remove CWM recovery also, and how is would it be to go back to a CWM backup going from ICS?
Kies removes CWM and root so reinstall CWM and root. Then you can restore any backup you saved.
