Default [Q] Kernel and Nandroid restore

Hi Guys,

I have a (dummy) question... I hope you can answer me...
I run 'Venom Flasher' for changing from FAUX 010VF to NCX 2.17-6.
After reboot the cell stoped in white screen.
I tryed all wipe, including factory reset, and there is no way to launch system.
I decided to restore a Nandroid backup, beliving this backup will restore all system, including kernel (FAUX).
After reset the system launch... but... For my surprise the kernel running is the NCX...
How is it possible?
For me a Nandroid backup should restore including the kernel...
Am I crazy or what did I do wrong?

Thanks all!!!

Ps.: the nandroid backup was done with Rom Manager.

You have to extract the boot.IMG from your nandroid and flash that in fastboot, then restore your nandroid. Without s-off, recovery can't flash the boot.IMG

Since we don't have soff, kernels must be flashed manually from a pc/mac using fastboot. Just make sure you flash that from your nandroid backup and no other version.
