YES! Let's hope so :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Ok this is what you have to do to get the ROM dump from bootloader, this is the most reliable method to make sure the dump will be useful.

1) Disable activesync on your computer by right click on activesync icon -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections"

2) Put your Hermes in bootloader mode, you should see the tri-color screen

3) Connect device to computer using USB cable.

4) Start HHD USB Monitor and capture ALL the output of the bootloader session:

File -> New session -> USB Monitor -> Select USB device where your phone is connected -> Check "request view" -> Finish

In the upper part there are two tabs: basic and complete. Click on "Complete".

5) authenticate to bootloader with proper dynamic password, instructions here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoaderPassword

You can use TryBootloader.exe to do this automatically (authenticate only to normal bootloader, not GSM bootloader).

Once you're authenticated you should see that bootloader returns "Pass1" encapsulated in HTCS - HTCE block.

6) Issue the command "set 1e 1"

7) Now you have to dump everything from 0x50000000 to 0x58000000 (I guess this range will be enough... if anyone else knows exact range please post), to do this you have to issue the command 'rbmc', it takes 3 arguments: filename, start-address and length.

Length is limited to 82000 by buffer, so you have to issue the command a lot of times, incrementing the start address each time.

PROBLEM: In mtty you cannot copy-paste, it is very easy to mistake

Possible SOLUTION: Use TeraTermPro with USB patch instead of mtty.

So, you'll need to issue the commands this way in the "USB>" prompt:

rbmc a 50000000 82000
rbmc a 50082000 82000
rbmc a 50104000 82000
rbmc a 50186000 82000
rbmc a 50208000 82000
rbmc a 5028A000 82000
rbmc a 5030C000 82000
...
...
repeat until you reach 58000000

You need to increment the address 0x82000 bytes (HEX) in each command, and repeat the commands until you reach address 0x58000000.

This process is a pain in the ass, probably someone can write a program to do this automatically... otherwise you'll have to do it one by one... :( ... any windows programmer willing to help here??

8) once finished, go to USB monitor and do EDIT -> Export -> Select ANSI TEXT FILE on the drop down list, and save the capture.

Zip the text file and upload it to FTP...

Not yet, but if we get a crossbow dump now be sure that we'll convert it to flashable format because it is worth the effort ;)

This is the itsutils pdocread method as explained in the WIKI, I pointed to it on my first comment on this thread.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
Sounds good.. But if we can only flash signed roms this sounds impossible.. :(

Or has the signature already been broken and our only problem is converting to .nbf?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
If tsuishui dumps the MFG bootloader and the dump is useful, we'll be able to flash it using 'lnb' bootloader command.

Otherwise we'll need to unpack the dump with Mamaich's romtools and we shouldn't have too much difficulty turning it into a flashable format, as for the signature, we'll be able to circumvent this by putting a modified SPL in memory from OS and jumping to it, but this method is still under research. Other possibility is to use something like pdocwrite to directly write to NAND flash... 1st we have to get the dump, then depending on what we get we'll figure out how to flash it back :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:

It's a MFG bootloader, AFAIK it has less restrictions to flash and allows you to flash both NBH and NBF files (has wdata and wdatah commands), that's why I wanted the dump of it ;)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfbatista:
If you want the kernel, download the full stock Rom, unzip until you have a .tar.md5 file and then unzip again with 7Zip. Now you get more files, one of them should be kernel.*

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

But in our case we have a different scenario.

We don't have a 4.4.2 kernel that works with towelroot, on Note 3 there are some kernels where you can use towelroot and the newer ones the app don't works, so they put a older kernel (for 4.4.2 too) and after towelroot they can flash the newer kernel...

...we just have 4.3 kernel where the towelroot works :(

Battery Swap Solution

I never actually plug in my LG G3 to charge. Ever.

My solution is that I have a total of 3x LG G3 batteries, and a dock that charges 2x batteries at one time. This way whenever I am low (which is usually at home), I can just swap a battery out. It works on the go too as the batteries are also small enough that they comfortably fit into that smaller jean pocket if you want to carry one around with you. Also have a wireless charging cradle at work which means battery swapping during the day is kept to a minimum.

Has genuinely changed the way I use my phone. No messy cables, im amazed everyone that has a G3 doesn't do this. The inconvenience of swapping a battery out is far less than waiting around for a charge or a phone dying when you are out.
