Hello all, I have discovered that my note 20 has been infected with a malware that locks the screen at start. I cant open any apps or settings to enable usb debugging. The KG state is locked and the OEM lock is on as well. I tried sideloading another package but had no luck. What's my best bet to removing the malware from the system apps. I was thinking that I could sideload my own app that would remove it but I don't know any apps like that.
Factory reset.

If I'm talking in this much detail don't you think vie already done that? System apps likes this don't get removed on reset.

It's reverts to the original factory load.
So you loaded infected firmware?
Samsung did?
Incomplete description on your part.
What apk?
Was it scanned with online Virustotal?

That's why I don't lock any PCs or devices.
Even a PC bios password can go corrupt... then you're boned. Maybe someone here can/will help you but I see where this is going...

I have AndroidLost on my phone and recently it decided to go haywire, set a password on my phone then lock itself. I've verified this wasn't malicious, outside activity - none of my accounts have been hacked. I've done a backup, and that hasn't solved my issue, is there anyway I can, with root, unlock my phone?
You should be able to unlock it using your Google account, failing that, you're likely looking at data loss by factory resetting and overloading it with wrong passwords.

This option would be for people that can access their phone, I cannot.
It's for recovery mode. You can't even get into that?

I can access that. What am I doing in there though?
It's written in the thread linked above.

Got it to work!
Basically, the post oinkylicious linked to had the solution. The password/PIN they are referring to is the one that we are prompted to enter when trying to do a data/factory reset from stock recovery. After a number of tries it will say that if you type the password wrong once more it might delete contents on your SD card. What I did was remove the SD card, and continue to enter wrong passwords. After a while it will the show some text (can't remember what), and let you go through with the data/factory reset.

I've done a factory reset via the Recovery menu. Restoring a back up now.
i used SparkyRoot to root my prime and uninstall some apps. Now I have to send the tablet back to asus so I did a factory reset and unroot using SparkyRoot. however, the deleted apps are still missing and i still cant update my prime (with red triangle).
I have heard if i download the update file directly from asus will work but i dont know how to use the file. please help!
before you deleted anything
did you do any modification of the root directories? such as adding a boot screen animation? super charge? keyboard re-mapping?
if you did you have to restore those back to default manually or else it won't update your prime~

no i havent. i deleted asus music, library, google+ i think
any idea how to reset to original setting?
i think you're gonna need to find the apk to re-install the missing apps... cause i think the updater are seeing those apps being missing so its giving you an error
same thing happened to me bro. i was at awe as to why it didnt upgrade. what i did was i had to flash the factory image (.15) and then the ota worked. theres threads all over on how to do that. i upgrade to .21 but now my tablet wouldnt unlock. in terms of bootloader. did a factory reset and it worked.

A factory reset doesn't restore deleted apps. You'll need to reinstall the stock apk files that were removed as already mentioned.

My phone ain't rooted,no bootloader unlocked or anything,everything is stock. I happen to have some problems,where processes like system force closes randomly,music,beats,status bar etc. I tried resetting from the boot menu and it still didn't worked. Can someone tell me how to reflash the original latest HTC Firmware,for this phone? Its prolly country wise,so in-case you need it,my country is India. In the about tab in the settings,software number is 1.17.707.2.

Can't you read English? I already mentioned of me having reset it from the boot menu which is the same thing as the GUI way of doing it.

i guess your best option is to find a RUU for your phone and use that to completely reinstall everything

I'm gonna try this now.
Edit: It doesn't work. I downloaded three times from two different computers. One is Running Windows 8 64-Bit the other is 32 Bit. I open the file,and nothing happens,nothing appears on the screen at all. Please tell another way of doing it.

you need to login with the google account that was on the device. this can be quite tough to bypass but it's doable.

Are you on fully stock firmware? Is your bootloader locke?
It can’t be a virus. Viruses would be gone by factory resets. What happens if you click on one of those weird apps? Do you see them in your app list? If so, what is their package name?
