Hi Guyz I compiled a script that can flash boot.img from CWM Recovery and it will not increaseCustom Bin Count.
You can Install Custom Kernel 1000000 times without increasing your Custom Bin Count.
Thanks to Koush for providing source: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_bmlunlock
Version 2.0 is here with new features:
•Automatic backup of old boot.img/kernel when you flash a new boot.img/kernel.
The old boot.img can be found afterwards with OLDboot.img name.
•Automatic unmount of sdcard after flashing. (As requested by some users)
•No need to unzip and zip this version, just place this tool and boot.img on root of sdcard and flash tool from Recovery mode.
Instructions:
•To flash kernel/boot.img, just place Boot.img_flasher_V2.0_faqbly_2.zip and your boot.img on the root of your sdcard.
•Boot in CWM Recovery and flash Boot.ing_flasher_V2.0_faqbly_2.zip
•Your OLD boot.img will be backed up as OLDboot.img on your sdcard.

To flash the mod (Based of the instructions included in the thread):
1. Download the file
2. Transfer the downloaded file to your sd card
3. Reboot into recovery mode
4. Flash the mod in recovery mode (Either CWMR or TWRP)
5. Reboot
After following that procedure the mod should now be installed. Let me know if you still have questions .
Not sure if this has been posted already but, this exact process for rooting works for almost ANY android device the program is very easy to use and I will do my best to try and explain how it works.
First, download this ROOTING TOOL
BLU Tank 4.5 Recovery Provided by lopestom: DOWNLOAD
SuperUser: DOWNLOAD
MobileUncle Tools: DOWNLOAD
Now that you have all of these files I will teach you step by step to achieve root + CWM.
ROOTING:
1. Extract the rooting tool to your computer the folder should be called "VROOT" now open the file Root.exe and this image will appear. (MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS CONNECTED VIA USB WITH INSTALLED DRIVERS)
2. CLICK ROOT.
The program will install a chinese version of superuser which we will delete after CWM installation. (YOUR PHONE WILL REBOOT, THIS IS NORMAL)
3. After reboot, you may now exit the program.
CWM:
1. Now that we are rooted, we can install CWM. While your phone is still plugged into your computer place the MobileUncleTools.apk into your phones storage.
2. Exract the recovery "BLU Tank 4.5.zip" to your computer and put the recovery image file into your phone.
3. Go to your phone and load the application "File Manager" and install the program MobileUncletools.apk that you just put on your phone.
4. Run the program Mobile Uncle Tools on your phone:
Next:
5. Once you Select the recovery.img your phone will prompt you to flash the recovery, click YES, it will then prompt you to reboot your phone into recovery then choose YES.
6. You should now be in CWM.
NOW TO REMOVE CHINESE SUPERUSER.
1. Choose to install a zip from SD CARD > Choose UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41.zip > Install
2. CWM will remove chinese SU and you now have Chainfire SU.
Done.

I tried with no luck. Phone is already rooted with the same method you mentioned. I flash the recovery image using the app, and the phone reboots to the stock recovery mode.
I'm not running the phone on a stock firmware.. Could that be the problem?

I have the SAME problem! SU ok but the phone reboots to the stock recovery.... My firmware is original... What I do now?
Sorry, but VROOT threads are being closed by the moderation team because they appear to be collecting information off of devices. So, until this method is verified to be working safely and without malware, I would advise everyone not to use this method. Please report them to the moderation team.
Thanks!
Hey guys,
I'm in the process of flashing CM's Marshmallow onto my LG G3s (D722) however after successfully rooting using KingRoot I can't seem to be able to apply the necessary bootloader patch as the /dev/block folders and contents are completely missing. Anyone have any suggestions? I installed a kdz lollipop stock room to begin the process if it helps.
heyy
you can you help me?
I have the CM13 but the root was not well and using the kingroot but is dont working .
as you did with the kingroot ?
sorry for the inconvenient
Hey,
I flashed a stock ROM (make sure you download the right one for your model/IMEI) via LG Flash Tool and then used Kingroot, be sure you haven't downloaded KingoRoot by mistake, it's not the same app as it just installs a heap of apps on your phone and does nothing but tell you it's failed after.
I'm still stuck with the bootloader patch though :s
There is a thread with all the info about this phone, tells you the right way to patch boot
Hi,
I figured out what the problem was, the thread you mention doesn't cater for my specific issue. Which I had hoped for a response about, however incase others have this same issue I'll list the process I went through here to resolve my issue and correctly root, patch and flash the D722;
1: Install Kingroot on your phone with your data connection active and let it try to root your phone, if it fails proceed to the next steps. Otherwise skip to step 3
THINGS TO DOWNLOAD: (If initial root attempt fails)
Download & install LG Flash tool on your PC.
Download & install Unified Android Toolkit (Optional, but useful for mass installation of aps)
Search for the correct KDZ file for your phone model/IMEI HERE
Install Busybox on your phone
Install Flashify on your phone
2: With your phone in download mode Flash your downloaded ROM using the LG Flash tool in CSE mode and click start, ignore language settings and any error messages. It should proceed as normal.
3: Follow the instructions for patching the bootloader HERE. If it fails proceed to step 4.
NOTE: The root location of your external SD card may be in a different directory, for example like mine it was in /storage/external_SD/ so try to change the file location in the command before proceeding.
4: Download and install CWM ROM Manager on your device (use Unified Android Toolkit to do this if you don't have/want gapps). Then choose fix permissions and repeat step 3.
5: Flash twrp via Flashify.
6: Download your desired ROM and place it in the root of your SD card, reboot to recovery.
7: Install the ROM as usual via TWRP, remember to wipe dalvic etc.
If mods would like me to post this as a guide instead I'll gladly do so!
