[Q] restoring nandroid backup and flashing stock images

Hi guys. I have read many posts about this things and I am not really sure on what to do. So I have a nandroid backup with stock rom and kernel. I am on francos+paranoidandroid now and I want to go back to stock with locked bootloader and unrooted for warranty purposes. Before I flashed a custom rom and kernel, I made a backup when I was still in stock rom and stock kernel. My questions are:
1. Do I need to flash stock boot image before restoring my backup to get back to stock rom and kernel, then lock bootloader and unroot?
or
2. I will just restore backup of stock rom and kernel, lock bootloader and unroot? No need to flash stock boot image first?
Thank you!

if you want to go back to stock for warranty purporses... you will have to flash the factory images..
restoring backup of stock rom wont get back the factory recovery.... but can unroot and lock bootloader if u restore backup...
so if u are sending for warranty purposes... flash using factory images...

How to go back to stock from custom ROM?

So the last time I had a custom rom installed I bricked my phone when trying to get to stock. I remember that Lineage OS changed my device name to "axon7" and the stock rom wouldn't flash. What should I do if I wanted to get back to stock? Would a full backup be enough? System backup?
I'm not on a custom ROM right now but wanting to try one. so i can do a backup. Otherwise what should I flash/wipe

You can put your phone in EDL mode and flash a full stock using MiFlash.
Sent from my Axon 7!
