Hey,

Ive been working with ky but we had no luck so far, he mentioned that you would be helping. How can I go about getting the boot.IMG without root, and I'll get it for you. I did get the Rom.zip from the ruu but it's encrypted and will need to be decrypted to use that...

Using terminal emulator on your device, issue the command
Code:
dump_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
This will dump the boot image to your sdcard.

In lieu of the fact im downloading hasoon's rom i did try this to see, and got
/system/bin/sh: dump_image: not found
Any other suggestions? If hasoon's rom works i'll have root and this'll be done anyway

Jumped the gun, need recovery to flash the rom... duh. Anyway the boot img has been decrypted looks like over here:
