I have a cell phone - Onix, Android version 5.0, model number AAP453G-1015
It has a very nasty trojan on it, which I can't get rid of with anything, including Malwarebytes, and various 'stubborn trojan remover apps' downloaded from Google Play Store.
Nothing works.
A Malwarebytes scan says 'your device has issues', then when I select 'fix now' it shows the problem, being ..
Android/Trojan.Spy.Agent.el
/system/app/OP_GoogleSearch/OP_GoogleSearch.apk
Then when I confirm I want to delete the item, the only thing that comes up is
'do you want to uninstall this app?'
Selecting yes results in 'Uninstall 'Unsuccessful'
I have done a factory re-set three times, and every time, it is still there. I have removed the SD card, changed sim card .. all to no avail.
I have been around various forums and they directed me here. Hope I'm in the right place / thread.
Thank you for any assistance.
Are you rooted? You can only remove that app if you have root.

Hello, thanks for the reply.
I have no idea what 'rooted' or 'have root' means.
Please advise.
I'm a bit of a noobie but I do learn quickly.
Thanks

Thanks. I found 'Kingo Android Root'. That allowed me to take full control of my phone and kill the trojans.

I have a T-Mobile version of Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant.
I followed a guide here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7150299&postcount=1
I can get into the recovery menu and I can see the option to reinstall packages. However when I press a power button to reinstall packages it seems like something is happening and it takes about 3 seconds and then the phone reboots.
I tried to use titanium Backup and I get a message it can't get access to root. I am assuming that am still not rooted.
I tried rooting with this method two times and it seems the result is the same.
Anyone has any idea?
thanks

Ignore some of the idiots above me
But that is normally how long it takes.. It doesn't take long at all for it to work. Just go to apps on your phone, and look for an application called "SuperUser"
If it is there then you are rooted, and for apps that require root, there will be a little box that pops up asking for permission

Why are you going to flame him? None of the stickys have been updated with any information regarding root information for JI6.
Some people have issues, while other people do not.
I visit this forum everyday and still haven't found any definitive information about rooting on JI6...just people saying "hey try this" or "try that".
Goofing around without knowing what you're doing is the easiest way to jack up your phone. If he messed it up just following a thread by 'Billy-bob-Joe' then you would probably be the first one to flame him for not asking for help before he tried anything.
Cut the guy some slack.
Master thank you for responding.

I had the superuser application even before I was trying any rooting.
I also just tried another tutorial for one click root and another tutorial where a rooting is done from a apk file from within the phone but nothing seems to work.
Some people have the same problem at the one click root thread but there is no answer to that.
Thanks Tarzanman
I am assuming JI6 is a firmware that I have.
As of this post JI6 is the latest firmware for the Samsung Vibrant.
T-mobile is sending it out over their network ("OTA"), but you can also obtain the update via Samsung's (very buggy) Kies or Kies Mini software (assuming you get the software to recognize your phone properly).
It is called JI6 because if you go to Settings|About Phone|Baseband Version
then phones running this firmware will read "T959UVJI6"
Tarzanman thanks for your explanation.
On my phone is actually reads as: T959UVJFD.
Can this firmware be rooted?

Yes, JFD is the stock ROM. You might as well get JI6 loaded on to it, as loading it on after will reset your root priviledges anyways.
Best way to check if you have root is to download Terminal Emulator, open it, and type in SU...

you followed the steps on this guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7150299&postcount=1
make sure you DL the file on that thread, and follow its steps!
1) make sure you rename the dl'd file "update.zip"
2) make sure you have the file in the internal memory of the phone, not the SD card
Try it again, and let us know!
I have never had a root problem, though I do find it strange that you had "superuser" prior to rooting.
You have a brand new phone? or did you buy it off the internet somewhere? There's no way new phones have "superuser" on it already.
If you've already tried to many methods, i'm guessing one of those ways you tried installed superuser on the phone without granting you root access (which is weird too)
From the General Sticky (and it works regardless of JFD or JI6):
HOW TO ROOT
justadude had a great post on how to root. Please read his post. I have used this method about 10 times and it always works flawlessly and it's just so incredibly easy.
Be sure you are placing the file on the root of your internal memory (sdcard/). This is possibly the easiest phone ever to root.

The phone was bought from second hands. It was locked to T-Mobile. The guy who i bought it from unlocked it and claimed that he only used it for one week.
The phone came with superuser app. It is part of the phone and not a 3rd party application. I cannot remove it. I thought it was part of the stock apps that come with the phone.
s15274n, yep did that at least three times now with no luck.
Just to confirm. I am putting the update.zip file on the root of the drive that has internal memory of the phone, not the SD card. I am guessing if I was putting it elsewhere then the recovery menu will not see it as install packages option.
I am lost. Perhaps the dude that sold me the phone messed something up somehow and now because of that I can't root.
Thank you for helping me guys.
s15274n
Can you tell me something?
When you select install packages how long does the process take before the phone reboots?
For me it takes about three seconds.
It really does not take long at all.... several seconds sounds about right.
Are you renaming the file on your phone, or the pc?
My concern is you are renaming it update.zip.zip (because your pc is hiding the file extension).

I am renaming the file on the PC via total commander.
I am pretty sure it is not zip.zip issue.
Download the file to your phone directly from the thread I linked.
On your phone, go to the filed (sdcard/download).
Long press and rename it using Astro or Root Explorer, etc.
just start to the left of update.zip and delete the name so it's now just update.zip
long press and move this file to sdcard/
go to stock recovery and flash it.
Do all of these steps and tell me it doesn't work....
Moved to Q&A and closed
heard that NT may have BL lock, it really is a bad news.
i'm wondering whether NT support normal apk downloaded from other places?
like installing with other markets and use these markets to install apks?
and could someone tell me the influence if we can't crack this lock?
can we reformat the partitions?can we root the device?
thank you!
Check some of the other threads. Much progress has been made, and its very easy to side load apks.
While no one has rooted it yet, it's still very early. Give it time.
Sent from my SPH-M820-BST using XDA App
yeah, i saw many guys said they sideload the apps, but i don't understand what is sideload
Sideload = loading apk onto an sd card. You can then put sd card into NT and install app that way.
You will need to first enable apps for unknown sources, you can find how to do this in a number of threads.

Sideloading is the installation of an app from a non-approved source. This can involve installing via downloaded or transferred APKs, installing from a sd card, pushing via ADB, etc.
i got it, this means if i have 3rd party market or apk files, i can install applications in NT

As a rule, it appears that you can install most apps by sideloading. This post gives the basics. Read the whole thread and follow it. If you have any questions, just ask them (search first). The XDA community is the kindest that I know of on the internet, people want to help you.
Hope this question is in the right place.
After downloading ANY apk., after clicking on it, a window pops up that reads:
Install Blocked: For security your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market
Below that is "OK" as my only option.
I've visited and revisited the recent rooting threads and other similar sources and found that most if not all arrive at a different option that offers "Settings" that can be changed. Even when I go directly to Settings>Device Settings, I have NO options to alter and allow "Unknown Sources"
Device: 1st Nook - purchased Nov 2011/ firmware 1.2
2nd Nook - purchased approx April 2011/ firmware 1.3
Both units respond the same way. What are my options here. Thanks for any and all help.

You need to allow installation of non-market applications first. To get to that menu, you can use tgps launcher.

Unmount memory card and try to install it again you can remount afterwards.
I think my real problem is with the ads-blocker that dont let medscape get to update and download (They say this in their app page on google play). I can install the app but cant get it to download the content needed. So how can i deactivate ad-blocker or another way to get pass this situation?

If you have installed ad-blocker / custom rom / rom toolbox, then please remove and try again. However, when ad-blocker is the issue the app clearly mentions it and i am sure you must have tried it.
How i got it to work
Go to settings ------> developer options -----> uncheck 'Don't keep activities'
This worked for me and a friend of mine.
Hope it helps.
Hey Guys and respected devs,
I have been using my Nook Tablet 16GB(rooted stock) without a problem since january. I have some games, apps etc and so far i have been perfectly happy with it.
Then recently i was browsing the net using opera and came across a video i wished to download. And until then i had no trouble downloading anything videos, pics,apks etc.... But it came as "download failed" . Since then i have tried various methods ... Using other browsers, default browser, download managers, etc but NONE of them can download the files . They don't even start downloading and say a variant of Download error, unable to download etc .
I have combed google and xda and have come up with nothing even remotely close to solving this problem. Please if anyone has any views, opinions, suggestions they are very welcome.
Btw i can download apps and updates and anything of the sort via any type of market and thats about it.
Regards,
Moxdown
well, the first thing that popped into my head was "unknown sources". do you have it turned "on" or has it been clobbered somehow ? this is most strange because you can download but then you cannot download... . are you blocked OTA ? 9.9.9.9 versus 1.0.0.0 ?
hmm, maybe you just need to use 'rom manager' and fix all permissions.
hth.

unknown sources are for app installation
OTA block simply blocks stuff from B&N (same with the version change)
rom manager and permissions have nothing to do with this
hth is not helpful either
@ OP, are these new websites that you are trying to download from by any chance?

yes, unknown sources is not a good guess. yes, lame. my brain was connecting together... the os cooperates from a known source for goods and does not cooperate from an unknown.
i thought OTA and getting an un-wanted binary update from b&n may have scrambled your os.
i was guess a critical permission got flipped to 'read only' and that was causing troubles. so running a permission fix 'may' help. it helps get rid of force closes...
and then hth stands for 'hope this helps', which was my honest desire. but then @Cubanluke88 is just being a smart a$$ ( once again ) . . . but then he's super smart and maybe has your answer.
.
maybe the best answer is 'taking it back to b&n' and having them reset it.
.
when i was asleep, i thought of another answer. maybe you caught a virus ?

I don't know if this is possible on the stock OS, but if you can get into manage apps in settings and perhaps clear data on the browsers and try again, that's what I would try next.

I'm not sure cuz if you root the phone, you'll need to use magiskhide, then pass safetynet, then clear storage and cache of the app, and then try, risk of losing current app data is also there.
But I've read few android deleted files recovery tool that use root, but it's all their own promotion, so idk, depends on you.
I'd say we will fall even deeper rooting it rn ngl.
