RCTD Remover Script and App - LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey everyone.
I made this script a while back, and shared it on @dimm0k's thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/t-mobile-rooted-lgv20-rctd-root-t3661490
I figured I should probably make a thread for questions/feedback involving the usage of the script. I'm not a BASH expert by any means, and I did very minimal testing (just made sure it worked with everything where it should be). I'd like to hear about any bugs and such.
Right now, this only works on Linux, macOS and Windows 10 with BASH installed (WSL). It may work using Cygwin or Git BASH, but it's unlikely. If someone who knows Batch wants to make this for Windows, please do.

HUGE thanks to @osm0sis and their work on Android Image Kitchen! Without that backend, this wouldn't be possible.

I will give this a shot this evening when I'm present at my casa.

Is it supposed to flash in TWRP? I got an error when I tried to flash this script. Thanks

@Zacharee1 Actually this wouldn't work on macOS / OSX because mkbootimg is a Linux ELF binary. A better solution would be to use abootimg which is included in most distributions (including WSL), and is available for macOS.
You could replace split_boot.pl and mkbootimg with:
abootimg -x boot.img // extracts kernel and initrd from boot.img
and
abootimg -u boot.img -r new-ramdisk.cpio.gz // This updates the existing boot.img with your modified initrd.
Just some thoughts

Unfortunately I dont have any of those OS.

I was considering porting over to Android Image Kitchen, which looks like it's all in BASH. But it'll take some time that I don't have right now. Hopefully over the weekend...

Confirm the factory reset prompts to get into TWRP. That kernel is for the H918, and has problems on other ROMs, since it includes some modified libraries, as well as a SuperSU ZIP. Unless you have NSS, I don't recommend flashing it.

Fastboot commands are crippled on the H918, aren't they? You have to use TWRP.

anyways so that boot image you uploaded earlier for netgar is only for that rom and that kernel correct?
a different rom and the same kernel would not work?

That's correct. For the NSS kernel, you either have to flash the entire ZIP (you can remove SuperSU if you want, but you'll have to flash your own SU), or not flash anything.

is there any way to create a boot image for this rom?

absurdly stupid move by me.3113wTWRPv2.6.3.0 only left

I was doing fine with my PAC-4.3.1. I backed everything up. Then I erased all ... yep... no OS. And trying to install something like the MicroDelta-P3110-4.2.2xxx... says its unable to open the zip file. So I probably messed up my root also.
I have very limited access to XP. I run Linux. Ubuntu, Debian ... but I can not find a working way to salvage my tab2.7 this way. odin for XP was how I got to 4.1.2.
I believe I need help in knowing what is the actual correct next step. I read the forum and have failed so far. So would someone be able to point me to the correct link knowing my situation?
I think I was on 4.2.2. Then PAC 4.3.1
I used to have Philz installed. Recently went to TWRP because I was getting very unreliable bootloops and switching helped in the short term...
try flashing PhilZ Touch using adb sideload, reboot into philz touch and try the rom again.... maybe flash the rom using sideload

Now what do you mean by you erased everything? Even wiping system, user data and both caches won't break root. Was there something else you wiped that you probably shouldn't have? What you could do is set up a virtual machine for XP, or even dual boot. It's a little time consuming, but in the end I do believe it would be worth it If you can't even flash a zip I don't really know what else you could do. Hopefully someone else will chime in with a less exhausting solution. But dual booting or using a virtual machine is certainly option. That way you can easily odin back to stock.

I thought about that, but he said he broke root and can't flash a zip? Would sideloading work around that?
Sure Sideload should work, i think root is not broken (can access to storage be broken in recovery? i don´t think so ) - maybe bad download of the rom or he can only flash signed zip´s ? maybe he can try disable zip-verification (?)

@canezila can you please check in TWRP -> Settings -> "Zip file signarure verification?" Checked or unchecked? If it´s checked: uncheck it!
Recovery couldn't open the zip. A failed signature verification would return a "signature verification failed" error, no?

i don´t know what he did (i don´t think he knows it too ) let´s wait for his feedback...
trying to flash a recovery or another rom using sideload might work...
or he can try another file (only flashing a recovery.zip) flashing from a microSD card?
could be a bad download of the file too...

"(...)I used to have Philz installed. Recently went to TWRP because I was getting very unreliable bootloops and switching helped in the short term..(...)"
a recovery wouldn´t make a rom bootlooping i think he forgot to wipe something.
i never had a bootloop or other strange problems on a working rom! NEVER!
What i am doing:
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvic cache
format /system
wipe data factory reset (on PhilZ Touch "Clean to install a new Rom")
flash rom
reboot
if it´s working i reboot into recovery again
flash gapps
flash NEXT Kernel
flash Proprietary files for NEXT Kernel
reboot again
(sometimes flashing NEXT Kernel + Proprietary files directly after the rom before 1st boot - only if i am on Dual-Boot)

MicroDelta-P3110-JB-4.1.2-P3110XXDME3-signed.zip and MicroDelta-P3113-JB-4.1.2-P3113XXDME3-signed.zip
Try this (yes do it again):
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvic cache
format /system
wipe data factory reset
First flash MicroDelta-P3110-JB-4.1.2-P3110XXDME3-signed.zip
directly after that flash MicroDelta-P3113-JB-4.1.2-P3113XXDME3-signed.zip
$ sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
$ adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31
$ adb sideload philz_touch_5.15.0-p3110-blackhawk.zip
$ adb sideload blackhawk-next-kernel-2.1.5-p31xx-miui.zip
**probably usless step but I wanted to see if it worked and it installed wo errors***
$ adb sideload miui_3.10.25_p3110_beta2.zip
$ adb sideload proprietary-vendor-samsung.zip
** yes, I have no idea what I am doing because this probably is part of another thread.... but it is ok**
But now that I can easily push ROMs over... I am going to go crazy installing a bunch of similar 4.3.1 roms.
THANKS FOR THE HELP!
I ended up on PAC MAN 4.3.1. at least for now

[ROM] SU4TL-44 100% Stock

SU4TL-44 Stock Image for XT1254: https://mega.nz/#!v4QWiITb!_0jWWzE4KWCEgT__C36rYe0vaTzGKcEFsZm0vvBtLBg
Flash with TWRP.
This package will flash every image in the SU4TL-44 firmware package except for recovery. It should bring your phone to almost 100% stock. The only image that is not included is the recovery image, because that would overwrite TWRP. If you need the stock recovery, revert to stock by following section 0 of my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684.
Yes, it does include modems.
No, it will not re-lock your bootloader.
No, it won't erase your data, but you should do a factory reset in TWRP after flashing this. You might be able to get away without it if you're coming from a modified stock rom, but if you leave out the factory reset after coming from a CM-based rom, you're gonna have a bad time.
Thanks to @firstEncounter for letting me incorporate his flashable zip into this package.
Will have to download this later. Looked to go back to stock and wait for mm to come out.

No it won't relock boot loader just installed it you will not be rooted and twrp will ask you if you want to root before reboot if you click no and want to at a later point just go back into boot loader by doing vol down power combo from power off and select open boot loader and when you click to reboot it will ask you again if you want to root then you can just slide to install

I've never tried to install an image via ADB before. Did you mount the image elsewhere and extract the system folder, and then ADB-pushed that? If not, your bootloop is probably because there's just a big, unextracted system.img on your system partition, and not the actual files within it. Why not just flash it with TWRP? When I tested it, I flashed it via TWRP and it worked.
If you really don't want to flash it via TWRP for some reason, you can extract the system.img from the zip and flash it using fastboot (fastboot flash system system.img).
EDIT: Oh wait, I think I understand now. You just used ADB to put the zip on your phone, and then you installed it with TWRP. Got it. Well my next question is why use ADB at all? Why not just plug in your phone while it's booted into TWRP and use the native MTP to transfer files?

This package only flashes /system. CM flashes its own boot.img, which is why this isn't working for you. I'll try to find some time tonight to add in the other images in the stock firmware to this package. Sorry about that.

I'm not entirely sure how to write a script to flash those in TWRP. For boot and system, it's easy because the devices that they are flashed to match the names used by fastboot. Bootloader and radio seem to be a little different though. When I list the contents of /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name, there is no "motoboot" or "radio," which is what fastboot uses when you flash these. I do see "aboot" and "modem," and I'm pretty sure those are the targets I'm looking for, but I don't want to go flashing things unless I'm 100% sure. Since there's not a huge demand for figuring that out, and boot + system is all people will need in 99% of cases, I'll leave them out. Thanks though!

J700P Boot-Loop

Heya. I restored a full backup in TWRP, and I ended up bootlooping. I tried flashing stock firmware, and nothing has changed. I can access downloading mode, and I can flash TWRP and boot into that. Any help? I've tried everything I've came.
I used flashify to get twrp into recovery but it recovery looped and the only way i got out of it was to reflash root with odin. Hope that helps.
Is your device still rooted? I was getting set warranty bit: recovery. It just kept going back to twrp.

I personally just had to reflash stock boot.img in odin when i got my bootloop and all was well
where can i download the stockl firmware for the boost mobile variant. I am in a bootloop here and have tried everything . I need the stock firmware so i can flash it via odin.
Having the same problem!
I rooted, flashed twrp, and Xposed successfully and made a complete backup. I got a little excessive with my debloating, so I tried to restore my nandroid backup with twrp.. Been bootlooped ever since. I tried flashing the stock boot, recovery, and rom with odin. Nothing works. The best result I can get is when I use Odin to flash stock firmware, then flash the chainfire autoroot. If I do that, it still bootloops, but it gets all the way to the "optimizing apps" screen... If I don't flash the autoroot, it loops after the virgin mobile logo. If I try to use stock rom, cf autoroot, and twrp, it goes all crazy at the initial Samsung screen and won't even loop. I've tried every combination I can think of. Maybe has something to do with the initial welcome/activation not being active? I would think the stock rom does have it enabled though.. HELP PLEASE! I have the 2016 variant from Virgin, 6.1.1

ok, so, every way i try this it isnt working. i flashed twrp so i could do a total wipe. then flashed the stock rom/firmware(J700PVPU1APB7.tar.md5). i flashed the adb-enabled boot.img and tried the logcat, it says waiting on device while the phone bootloops... when i flash cfautoroot and adb boot.img after rom flash, same thing. What am I doing wrong? Device drivers and adb drivers installed 2 weeks ago.
so, i just flashed stock rom:cfautoroot:adb boot.img:stock recovery, and it started to boot properly, ie: android updating apps to android starting, and a bunch of other stuff, then rebooted to bootloop.. farther than ive gotten so far.

Hey messie,
I have somehow switched the variant of my boost j7 when I was rebuilding it with wifi tethering anyways since I did that my phone is on xas which is Australia I believe and it was working fine even on that variant until I put twrp on it and not even the stock boost firmware has fixed it I do have a backup before the variant was changed that was made with FlashFire but the twrp backup FlashFire makes by default doesn't work and all it does it boot loop over and over and sometimes it will say it is optimizing apps sometumes but doesn't ever load it just reboots and repeats the same thing I tried doing a complete wipe in twrp and tried ur debloated firmware which was very similar to the project I was working on as well as a cm port. I can't go any further on my projects until I can get functionality outta the phone again is there maybe a way I could load FlashFire in twrp as I have root and adb working fully or it there other stuff I could do in adb to fix this I even tried Making the csc only for BST instead of XAS but no go it had no effect

Hi
Although a logcat is needed to solve the problem , i believe that this happens because of the kernel security , i think that a permissive kernel is included in this file
http://www.mediafire.com/?u6skqbc4x5bo73p
If it's there flash it and you should have successful boot proces , good luck!

These system/boot images are completely useless, because they are taken from a Delta update and therefore they contain only the code that has changed, not the whole image.
No wonder you couldn't boot up your extracted boot.img, it's only 50% of the file.
Some infos about Delta updates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_update
So, the patched boot.img of the first post is not valid?

Not on my side, same battery performance like on 10.0.3.0.
the v10.0.3.0 patched boot img still works on the latest update v10.0.4.0. i tried to reflash it and it worked ! i guess the latest security patched didn't change the boot.img

If it's rooted it might be one of the apps is altering the system partition, I kept getting failed OTA installs as well. What you can try is flashing the current version again and then try to do the update.
My case I'm suspecting it was AdAway because I didn't have the Magisk systemless hosts module installed.
did anyone have original system.img from 10.0.4? i have problem with update i think i forgot have changed something on my system.
Update:
work with this system, Thanks

HTC U12+ Bootloop after uninstalling Magisk Module

Hello everyone.
As mentioned above, my HTC is stuck in a Bootloop (Unlocked warning, white HTC Icon, and again) after I uninstalled a Magisk Module via Magisk Manager. I have no TWRP Recovery installed. Any advise how to get the phone operational again? In case of a full reset of data and storage, i am not afraid to do so. Any help is much appreciated.
Greetings
Stefan
*Edit*
I just noticed that adb doesn't recognizes the Phone via command adb devices. Therefore I'm not able to flash a ruu for my phone. Now I have no idea left what to do

You can find the same software number at the top of the device or the numbered software in the android file host ziand folder
Hello @tolgazorba.
Thank you for your answer. Right now I'm heading to work, but I will try your Advise this evening. Fortunately i downloaded a ruu zip matching with my firmware (2.55.bla bla) and matching with my cid as well. I will report if everything worked, or, hopefully not, not.
Thanks again
Stefan
hello
no problem I would like to explain in detail but my english is very bad
Hi there. That advice was great, everything works now fine again. I guess I let my hands off rooting for now, at least there's an official LOS for this device lol
Thanks again
En joy
You're welcome

Maybe just flash actual firmware.zip with sdcard as i have done? With that you are back on full stock and you can root again etc...
Thx. unfortunately, I don't have a backup of one important app which is more important than the whole phone so I want to find every possibility without losing data.

can't boot TWRP and dont have stock rom without wipe.
Don't you know why I can't boot temporary TWRP? download mode always stuck at booting
so find a backup of the auto and load it with adb sideload, whichever version you have is the backup of that version

don't remember but EU version (043). I am on LeeDrOiD U12 V1.3
re-install the same rum without deleting or update it with adb sideload
