Can I remove a virus by flashing my android? Guys my android is rooted, it was working fine . One day when I turned on my android many notifican like "setting has stoped" began to come . I was redirected to homescreen again and again . To remove this virus I reset my android tablet but even after factory data reset my problem was not solved . When I connected to wifi then automatically new apps were downloaded and I also noticed that wifi and unknown resourses were automatically enabled . I decided to reset my android again but there was again no improvement and some kind of porn apps became system apps . I also did hard reset but that also not worked . Now I am thinking to flash my android through SP Flash tool . Will it work?
All this behaviour can occur if the application you used to root your phone installs some kind of malware or you get a malware at a later point. You cannot remove this by a factory reset as it does not remove root or system apps and does not rewrite the system partition. Your only rescue here is to download SP Flash Tool and flash your system image, as flashing a system image rewrites your system partition and will remove every unwanted app, but you will lose root. If you want to root it again use SuperSU with TWRP. It will not install any malware and your problem will get resolved.
