Can anybody tell me how to make a complete backup of rom(stock or custom) including kernal?
I tried cwm backup but it backs up os without kernal...so is there anyway?

you can make a CWM backup and make a flasheable zip with the kernel, just google it, if you are using the latest merruk kernel i can provide for you

It is a nandroid backup. It takes a full image of your current state. All it doesn't backup are the modem and the file system (that is the lagfix if any)

but it backs up my files? just not the file system type
When I did a full backup using cwm did that backup the kernal also.?
Do the return to stock rom's include the kernal,

If you did a full backup with CWM, it backs it ALL UP!
I wanted to flash a custom ROM and decided to do a nandroid backup first. Every time i did one it did not contain the system.img file which means that the stock ROM wasn't backed up. It only backed up recovery and boot. I have the official CWM from clockwordmod.com.
Please help.
BTW. I know that i can use the stock system image from google, but it's much easier to just recover a nandroid backup.

That ROM is ext4 based. First you need to restore kernel supporting both EXT4 and RFS, then convert to rfs, then restore nandroid.
Long process (may lead to complications in case of stock incompatible kernels).
Better use odin.

Galaxy y CWM is broken. It cannot restore Kernel. It can only restore /system, /data, /cache.
For kernel restore use my SGY Toolkit. Link is in my Signature.
Press Thanks if helped.

Of course you can restore it using CWM, as long as the backup done before you change anything on your phone :good::good::good::highfive::highfive:

Do it this way.
Flash Hell's Fusion.
Go to Advanced ====> Reboot Recovery
Then Format /system, /data, /cache.
Restore Nandroid.
Then Reboot phone. (Not reboot recovery
Put stock kernel's boot.img in root of SD Card.
Go to recovery.
Then flash my SGY Toolkit and choose kernel restore.

When I install hyperion 8 pre gm and I restore my data via cwm, it always keep rebooting? Thanks for the answer
Is the data you restore made from the same ROM's backup?
Try clearing Dalvik Cache in advanced and then reboot.
My backup is from evo x rom . So it will cause problem?

The backup which you've made will restire Evo-X with all your user data. The backup is causing bootloop probably due to changed kernel or changed CWMR.

Yes, it will. What you can do is restore the whole ROM. Backup whatever you need with Titanium Backup and then restore it on your new ROM.

you cant restore data from another rom - it doesnt work like that
if you want to restore your apps and contacts and so on do the following
fully restore your nandroid backup not just the data so you do a complete restore - make sure you are on the same kernel and using the same cwm to restore the backup to which it was made on
then use titanium backup to backup all your apps
use super backup to backup all your contacts/sms
then you can flash any other rom you like
once you have done that simply restore your backups from titanium backup and super backup
both apps are available in the playstore
