I have an old, shitty tablet. Tablet was infected with some sort of rootkit. It installs all kind of viruses as soon as it connect's to wifi. It connects even with airplane mode on. Basically it fuck's up the system with malicious apps and adds that render it useless.
I have tried factory reset 3 times but it didn't help.
I installed 2 antivirus programs but they can't help much because viruses render the device useless while scanning.
I'm a linux user, is there an app for linux that can scan my tablet and clean it????

I'm even viling to install Windows virtually if linux doesn't have the app and winbloows has

Just like the only true way of getting rid of viruses on your PC is formating, you should reflash your device.

I was afraid of that.. never done it before. don't want to brick it or some other shit

But you've got nothing to lose right?

>>58541786
Bricking a device is really hard, from my experience. Missing or fucking up a step will in most cases results in a softbrick or bootloop, which in almost all cases are fixable.

if you mean files, then no.

don't true-nigga rootkits hide in bios or sth like that?

>>58541915
Yes, but you wouldn't expect the virus creator to put so much effort into it, just to attack the average joe who might not even know how to factory reset.

thats nice to hear, /g/ had me believe i basically had to burn down all my shit and perform a cleansing ritual over the ashes everytime i got infected

Format the shit out of it and slap newest CM on it. Good luck.
