I have a Vortex Beat 8. It's a cheap Chinese phone and doesn't have its own forum here. I have adware apps that keep installing themselves, and I think that some process built into the rom, from the factory, is causing it. Does anyone have any tips on what I can do to stop this process?

The biggest problem, with the adware, is that I'm using the phone as a security camera using the Alfred app, and once the ad pops up on the phone, the camera shuts off. I can't turn off the wifi, because I need it enabled for Alfred.

I've factory reset the phone, and disabled or uninstalled all the apps I thought looked suspicious, and yet somehow, occasionally, it will reinstall the apps. Every time I clear, uninstall and disable things, I think I've finally got the problem permanently solved, but then out of nowhere the apps are suddenly back. The last time, the phone lasted several weeks before reinstalling the apps. The previous time, it lasted about a day or two.

I believe at least one of the systemapps I disabled somehow reenabled itself, so that may be the culprit. It's called "Wireless Update". There is also a potentially suspicious system app called "Update Service Core", but I can't disable or uninstall that. I've been using "Data usage" to try to see which apps have been active, but it's hard to tell, but it's not clear form the user interface when the activity took place.

Some of the Adware apps are called "Shortcuts" and "Movies-TV". As far as I can tell they're fairly simple apps that use Android System WebView or something similar to display a website, and then popup ads occasionally.

I tried several virus/adware apps and none of them have been able to detect anything.

At some point there was an update from the manufacturer, and afterwards the problem became worse. In hindsight, I should have rejected it. As far as I know, there are no alternative roms, on the internet, for this device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragmentalstew:
I factory reset again and this time I disabled:

Adtime

News and rewards

(System)

Duraspeed

Mobile services

wireless update

Internet

Shortly afterward, the adware app/game Red Block installed itself.

I uninstalled Red Block and installed a firewall app called NoRoot Firewall. Through the firewall I gave internet access to Alfred, Google Play, and some other Google related things. Update Service Core was requesting access and I denied it. Here's hoping that denying Update Service Core was enough to stop this madness.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragmentalstew:
I'm still struggling with this. I followed the directions at https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/216616-removal-instructions-for-adups/ to uninstall adups for the current user. You can also find more info here:

https://blog.malwarebytes.com/andro...-come-pre-installed-with-unremovable-malware/

I used

adb shell pm list packages -f

to get the full list of packages and uninstalled adups and also a lock screen using:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.adups.fota
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.adups.fota.sysoper
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 io.appservice.lockappblack

However, the lock app uninstalled itself later as well as:

Movies-TV

Red Block

Shortcuts

and a new one called:

CraigsList

I had the firewall disabled at the time thinking that I had finally solved the problem. I don't know if the firewall being enabled could have prevented the reinstallation. Sometimes it crashes, and that might coincide with the apps being reinstalled. Also, the lock app renamed itself to io.appservice.lockappblack6. I also noticed that the built-in browser is called "Liberty-Browser", which makes me wonder if it's related to the lock app which has an apk called "lockAppLiberty.apk".

I noticed an app in my pm list that I didn't noticed last time: package:/system/priv-app/Ignite-Sliide_3.1.025-1405_releaseProduction/Ignite-Sliide_3.1.025-1405_releaseProduction.apk=com.dti.sliide It's not in the normal apps list and it looks sketchy af. I think it's DT Ignite, which is a known bloatware app that installs bloatware/adware without your permission. I've uninstalled DT Ignite, as well as the lock screen using the adb method above. I also uninstalled the other apps via normal means.

Here's hoping it sticks this time.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
you can pay it off and have att unlock it like normal people do.. bypassing this means you got the device through unconventional means or you dont want to pay for the device usually which is the property of att until its paid in full which some might translate into stealing or fraud.. just saying..

why did you buy an att model if you need to use it on another carrier in the first place?

also, sometimes its not possible to simply use an "unlock code" and sometimes requires a physical connection to the device which might not b a good idea to let some random off the internet to do
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] spanky310:
I asked the question and you came on to start talking trashing about what I did, didn't or trying to do, you have too much bloody time on your hands????????

I have been an AT&T customer for close to 20 years and always paid for my stuff.

Not that it's any of your FREAKING BUSINESS but I can't pay off the phone because my Black Friday rebate from Costco requires me to stay on the payment plan for at least 3 months or I will lose the rebate.

I have an overseas trip coming up at the end of January and I would like to use my phone with a local prepaid SIM card, that is why I want to unlock my phone.

You need to ask questions first because start mouthing off garbage making judgement on other people, trying to steal the phone, no I have no need to do so but if that is how your logic work s then you most likely would be one doing such things.

Talking about being a 'normal people', normal people with average intelligence usually ask questions before posting stupid trash talk making assumptions about whom they know nothing about. Yes I just made an assumption about your intelligence but mine was based on your post so I'm sure it's not too far off.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
lol aww.. someone got upset.. cry me a river bro.. it doesnt change the fact you want to circumvent ATT policies to unlock the device which is called fraud.

I also like how you mention always paying off your devices then not paying the device almost in the same sentence.

I could honestly care less what you want it unlocked for. Karma always catches up. You should have thought of your trip when purchasing a device and plan ahead instead of trying to weasel your way around the carriers policies by committing fraud and trying to modify ATT's property (yes its still their property until its paid in full which you surely agreed to in your contract.)

I honestly didnt mean to offend you or anyone else but obviously my personality is too much for you to cope with. If you would have just asked nicely after I asked a few questions in my previous post I would have helped you. Instead you took my honest question as an insult when I was just trying to make sure nothing shady was going on as I do in most situations before helping to ensure I am not breaking any laws.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] spanky310:

BTW, my son read it just now and called you a typical stupid self-righteous snowflake he ran into at his college all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
wow, seems you read more than you put off! I dont even want to know what college, I hope you can figure it out lol. I guess they dont teach bypassing carrier restrictions in college lmao.

I tried to unlock bootloader again and installed OrangeFox and wiped Storage

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] rjwadley:
I've been interested in trying out custom ROMs for a while now but have a few questions I haven't been able to find answers to.

If I try custom ROMs and dislike them, can I go back to stock pie (the way it is now, with everything working) if I don't like custom ROMs?

I've read stuff mentioning that pie ROMs can be unstable if I update to stock pie. I'm already running stock pie, so is my hope for pie ROMs gone?

Is it possible to try pie and q ROMs without running into stability issues? (blobs and stuff)

I'm running a VS996 and have heard stuff about Verizon switching to VoLTE only. Will custom ROMs work at all or am I out of luck?

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Verizon has postponed switching to VoLTE only for phone calls for another year. End of 2020. When that happens, if the devs have not yet figured out VoLTE, you will have to go back to rooted stock firmware and run Magisk and Xposed mods instead for the improvements you want. I already do that. But I stayed on Oreo on purpose.

Here, read Post #1 and #2 of the Root Sticky Guide. In Post #2 specifically, it has all the information about custom ROMs.

ROOT Your LG V30!

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/how-to/root-v30-t3927154

If you don't like custom ROMs you can go back to stock Pie, but I would recommend rooted stock Pie or even Oreo and you can still have Magisk and Xposed mods to for features and improvements.

No, you merely downgrade to most recent Oreo firmware to run LOS-16 (Pie) ROMs.

(You have to temporarily downgrade to very early Oreo anyway to unlock bootloader and install TWRP.)

However, since you are on stock Pie right now, if you downgrade to most recent Oreo to run the LOS-16 Pie ROMs you will need to run permissive kernel for stuff to work right.

Hello, was wondering if anyone knew if the Xfinity Mobile version (A505-U) will work on SPRINT once it is unlocked by Xfinity?

X00TD means your device has proper flags.

Although i dont advice this-delete files from /persist/flags and flash fastboot rom if u want ur device to convert into X00TDB.

For me X00TDB with LBL -playstore shows device is not certified. And with flags (x00td) shows certified device.

Now you decide
