How to remove malware? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, my android device got malware ( some apps) that cannot be remove even after factory reset or hard reset.. so.. how can i remove these apps?
Thanks.

Do wipe cache and full factory reset get in download mode and flash with firmware and again do wipe cache and factory rest if u have problem with samsung phones, if replica or china made than need to flash with full firmware.

Here it goes.You should backup important files first. Make sure to handpick the files instead of coying the whole internal storage/sdcard. Don't copy suspicious files. Now, do a firmware flash (make sure that the firmware is correct and the android versions are either same or newer) and wipe Both internal and external storage ( portable sdcard). That should be it.
Edit: If no firmware are available, then you can try a factory reset with full wipe.

bricked my phone

i just bricked my phone with script manager,done something wrong.What can i do to unbrick?1 question,can i wipe data/factory reset and phone will be fixed?
What did you mean bricked? Can you turn you phone one, whats happened after this, I think you have only a bootloop. If you can access recovery menu try wipe, if it doesn't help reflash you rom using ODIN.

Your phone is not bricked. You have a minor inconvenience. Wipe everything and flash new firmware.

Choose whatever rom you want and install as normal through recovery. Wipe data/cache/factory reset and install .zip file. Done.

Just to make sure, flash it with a full package. (Zip containing 4 files instead of one big one). It'll turn everything to stock including system format just in case you messed that up. Flash it via ODIN and make sure to follow instructions so you won't have another inconvenience.

You can go to www.sammobile.com and download a stock firmware and flash through Odin. But before that you can factory reset / wipe data from cwm recovery, and also format the internal storage from cwm recovery too I believe.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Wipe everything o CWM (wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, format system, data and cache) and format the internal and external storage as well (in case you have moved the apps from the rom to the SD card).
Ye i did that but i still don't feel that this is like out of the box. I think there is original version of android from samsung that deletes all files and renew them so they are fresh???
If you want it like it was 'out of the box', you have to do what Delawalla said in CWM then flash whatever stock rom was on the phone when you bought it in Odin. If you don't know what rom that is, I can't see how we're going to know (we're not mind readers. Yes, I realise this is a shock).
Actually, I tell a lie. There might be a way. Get the PC version of Checkfus, and choose Android/I9100 (assuming you have an I9100)/your carrier/country. On the lefthand side under "Firmware info" you should have the details of the firmware that came with that phone/carrier when it was released. That may not be the same firmware that was on your phone when you bought it if you did so months or more after your carrier first started selling the phone, there might have been a firmware update in that time which was one your phone initially.
I see where to wipe everything but format system i don't have in cwm. And thanks for that program. I downloaded rom .

To downgrade from ICS to GB.
1.. Download from Samfirmware.com, your providers last GB firmware before ICS.
2.. Unzip the firmware once to the .tar.md5
3.. Backup your files from your internal sdcard that you want to keep to your PC/laptop, ie photos, docs etc.
4.. Enter download mode.
5.. Connect phone to PC using original USB cable.
6.. Start Odin as administrator and wait for yellow confirmation box.
7.. Load GB firmware into PDA and press start.
8.. Once GB firmware has rebooted fully, go to dial pad and dial *2767*3588#
9.. Phone will factory reset and then re-boot into GB.
thanks

Its always highly recommended to wipe data when you upgrade/downgrade firmware. You could bootloop if you dont. If I were you I would wipe data/factory reset.

Clockwork mod doesn't see the ZIP for rom?

Hi I recently just installed clockworkmod by chainfire and now i'm trying to flash a rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844343 ) but when ever i go to install a zip from sd card i can't find the the rom zip file... any help?
Are u looking inte right place. Internal vs external sdcard?
i found it installed it and i think my phone is bricked now... it won't go past the galaxy i9100 screen... can you teach me how to flash stock rom or link me to some stock roms i can flash to?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
But have you done a wipe data/factory reset and cache from recovery?
If you flash a 4.0.4 samsung stock, beware of the 4.0.4 emmc brickbug. Google or xda search will get u tons of info about it.

Ok. If you can access download mode just flash a stock rom with odin.

so you are stuck in bootloop? go to download mode and flash a stock ROM/firmware (you can find it in sammobile.com), just flash it with odin and you are good to go..
maybe your download was incomplete, i suggest you redownload the ROM again

[Q] Can't flash any ROM via Clockworkmod - stuck at S logo after

Hi guys.
My phone is a international i9300
I've been searching for a problem like mine in the forum for three weeks now and I couldn't find a proper solution.
I just can't flash any rom via CWM anymore...
I can flash roms via ODIN, but when it comes to CWM, it gets stucked at Samsung logo after the install.
I tried:
Wipe cache / Dalvik / factory reset.
before the installation, after the installation, every combination possible.
Tried megawipe and no help.
Changed the kernel, Siyah, Googy, stock...
Changed versions of CWM, touch.
I have now the Phil'z 5.0.15.
I like very much the XXELK4 version from roalex with its MOD, for the call recording and full multiwindow support, but can't flash it anymore, nor any other custom or stock via CWM.
By now I can only have a full stock flashed via odin, or my Omega 46.1, wich I have a full backup.
Another solution could be find a .tar rooted and with the MODS flashable via Odin, but I really wanted to understand what's happening with my recovery.
Thank you all and congrats for the great work with the forum.
In cwm format..
Data
System
Cache
Then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache
Then flash the rom.
Your cwm is upto date?

Sorry.
Forgot to include in the original post... I tried that too. Formatted everything
Got the 6.0.6.3
I also tried with the last Philz recovery.
And with previous versions of both too.
Have you tried to go bk to stock,root that firmware then install cwm then flash custom rom? Clean slate start.
Your problem may be a bad file download .

I'll try to download again, although it's not likely that several files are bad. I tried with so many different roms...
I bought another micro sd of 64gb. Maybe the one I'm using is ruining the files...
There can't be a so huge bug in philz recovery
Try install from internal sdcard, a simple 'Factory Reset before New Rom' no need to mega wipe anything.

Of course. And I tried with different versions of Philz' and also CWM. It can't be a bug in recovery.
Re-downloaded the revolution 29.0 and the Roalex XXELK4 rooted, copyed directly to internal and flashed... Same problem. Stuck at Samsung logo in boot. I'm begining to think my phone is screwed up. But this is so strange. I can restore my backup with no problems, and also can flash with Odin.
Is there a way to flash a .ZIP ROM in Odin?
Does not make any sense .
What model phone do you have ???
What model firmware are you flashing .
What about basic stock custom roms flashed via CWM ??
Have you booted to Philz recovery mounts and storage format sd card cache system and data then flash rom ??
Agree it is strange Deviating a little from your problem but have you tried flashing anything with TWRP recovery see if the problem persists with that.

I know it doesn't. That's why I'm going crazy.
I uploaded the screenshots with my system specs.
The model is correct, international i9300. Tried to download from the site and also directly from rommanager.
The firmwares I'm trying to flash are stock, but rooted by Roalex. I couldn't find a pure stock .zip for testing with CWM. The firmware I'm using is UBEMH5 from sammobile, wich I flashed via Odin.
Yes... Tried and formatted everything, several times, mounted, unmounted, every possible order...
Almost giving up. :crying:

I never used TWRP. Can I flash the same ROM file .zip with it or it requires it's own rom file type?
I'm gonna be out of the country for two days. When I come back I'll give it a try.
Thank you all so far.

It's been a while since i used it last time was when I had a S2 and I used it all the time:good: You can flash any rom with it that cwm can flash (as far as I know) but it had a little trouble restoring backups made with cwm but I think that got fixed.But you can make backups and loads of other things with it I recommend people to try it at least once This won't fix your cwm problem but would be interesting to see if it works
If twrp doesn't work on stock Flash googy Max dualboot kernel and keep stock as primary rom and custom as second rom. Then you have best of both world's :thumbup: also take the pic down with your emei showing :banghead: never ever show this!
What i would do in this situation is .
In recovery format cache system sd card preload .
Flash stock rom via Odin.
Check phone works ok .
Then root / flash philz recovery .
Put custom rom on sd card boot to recovery factory reset .
Then install custom rom watching setup to spot a failure point .
Wait for rom to load 10 mins fails then remove batter replace and factory reset .
Problem solved
Hi folks.
Think I figured out what's going on.
Via TWRP it says the files were corrupted, although the file sizes were identical.
I MD5 checked the files in my computer and they're ok, but when checked already inside my phone or SD they're not.
Instead of copying the files via USB cable I removed the SD card and inserted directly in my laptop slot and copyed the files. MD5 checked and they're ok...
After I tryed again copy via USB and the files were corrupted again.
I think my desktop USB or maybe the Samsung drivers are doing that.
Well, problem solved. I hope this helps other people in future problems.
Thank you all for your help and support. Keep on with the great work.
Mark solved then for other users .
