hi there, im using Cataclysm rom and i don't really like it. so is there a way for me to change it back to stock rom? thanks
If u made a backup just restore it in recovery, you should always have a backup in case you want to go back! If u dont have one you have to flash the factory image and lose all of ur data.

Get the factory image here, make sure you backup EVERYTHING including your internal storage: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66v

My N4 is coming Wednesday, I want to root it and flash the Xylon rom to it... only, last time I rooted was with the Droid 1 and I stayed stock...
My question is do I need to do an initial setup backup then root and flash the rom or can I backup then root then flash the rom and use that as my first setup?
You cannot backup without having root first. So you will lose everything. When you unlock the bootloader, everything gets deleted. That's why when you first get the phone you should root it. Then if you like you can backup the ROM in case that you ever want to go back to stock.

I would like to correct you there. You can backup app data using Koush's Carbon app, which you can find on Google Play. Made by the same guy behind CWM. A very simple app that uses some sort of loophole to make backups even on non-rooted devices.

Did you create a Nandroid backup with either ClockworkMod Recovery or TWRP? This would be the easiest and fastest way to do it. If not, efrant wrote an awesome guide for returning the Nexus 4 back to stock

You don't flash factory images with recovery, you use fastboot.

If i format my exus 4 ca i use the nexus toolkit to restore it back to stock (the root etc). i wat my phone fresh ad empty but ii am not sure if i can do that without bricking.
thank you in advance =]
Flashing the stock images alone will erase everything on the device. Don't worry about bricking.
Than you

If you flash the complete factory image it will wipe your device, all data will be gone
