this is just a quice guide about some main features of adb and fastboot and ways you can use them
heres some simple information i can give you about a device, a device has 6 main partitions, system, data, cache, dalvik cache, recovery and externel(sdcard)
for a device to boot it must have a boot.img, system.img and a data.img, when you backup your phone it backs up system.img, boot.img(included in system.img), data.img, cache.img, dalvik cache(thats included in the cache.img), and optionally your recovery.img(no point)
THIS WILL TAKE 10 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME AND WILL BENEFIT YOU FOR LIFE

if you wanna restore your phone on your from your computer, simply backup your phone in recovery and transfer the backup to your computer and extract all the .img files and put your phone into fastboot mode, then go on your computer, put all your .img files in a folder with adb, fastboot, AdbWinApi and AdnWinUsbApi(the files everyone tells you to get from the android sdk package)
then navigate to the folder on command prompt on terminal then wipe a partition then flash one
for example i do it like this, i wipe system, data and cache first, so this is what i would type,
then flash the .img files(need to flash system first)
then you can flash boot.img, when you want to install a new kernel, all it is, is a a stock boot.img modified
