Default [Q] Restore Nandroid backup after update to LL4

I was running LK8 stock rooted and performed the LL4 update via Kies. I had originally tried to do it OTA and in the process wiped the phone to get rid of the modified status only to be put in queue for the OTA. Before formatting the phone I had performed a titanium app and data backup as well as a Nandroid backup.

This leads me to the question. Since the baseband has changed, if I restore the Nandroid back up would it revert back to LK8? It's my understanding that a Nandroid backup is a compete backup of everything that was on the phone other than the external SD card. It would be nice if I could restore it (it took forever to get the mods, launcher and phone settings the way I liked them), but one would think that after a firmware update the Nandroid backup would be useless.

I'm just trying to find the easiest way to restore to my previous state. Any input would be appreciated.



Thanks.

Edit: Titanium backup restored all settings!

If you have TWRP recovery, then it won't change your radio unless you had that checked off when doing nandroid backup. If you did have it checked, it will put it back to LK8.

I have been using CWM and doing the Nandroid backups via the toolkit and haven't noticed any option that talked about changing the radio. Also after restoring the Titanium backup everything seems to be in order other than Gmail not sync'ing.

Thank you for your reply.
