Yes I've tried searching.
I've tried to update with and without the data box checked. Wifi on and off. Is it disabled and ROMs and radios are done by htc? I'm so confused. I was born yesterday so I'm new to technology.
Connection to the update server is not available. Check your data connection settings and ensure the device date and time are correct.
Result Code:
80072ee7 (seems to be an error used by windows in general and not just mobile - mentions some static ip stuff for vista but I don't think you need that kinda stuff with a phone)

Help please
Windows update not working is normal. I think carriers must support it for it to work and I don't know of any carriers that do.

Thanks. That means I have to figure out how to manually update through HTC's website or are there OTA updates like with android?

Traditionally, updates to Windows mobile devices are done via ROMs that you download to your computer and flash via a USB connection.I think some kind of OTA updating is possible, but I doubt of t-mobile will support that.

Well I also have the G1 from t-mobile and that has OTA updates, but that also doesn't allow tethering while for some reason winmo phones are apparently allowed to tether 24/7, so who knows.
I forgot to mention that my phone seems to be going abnormally slow and not reacting at a reasonable speed. I have no idea how I left that little nugget of info out since it's the reason I'm trying to update. I saw the MMS +international and a ROM update on HTC's site, but my versions are newer, so I'm not sure what's up (and I'm also horrible at navigating to info I need). I always go through all the settings when I get a new piece of plastic and I can't seem to speed this baby up no matter what I do. It seems to be at its worst in IE, with or without lots of stuff on the page, and besdies that it just doesn't seem as fast as it should be. The phone's only new-to-america, right (as in it's been out in other countries)? And winmo's been out for decades, so I don't think that's blamable on it being "new".
Man I'm horrible at finding stuff. I had that page with the updates on htc's site and now I can't find it again. I checked the online manual and it talks about windows update like it works too, but maybe that part is just part of the default windows mobile manual. I'M SO CONFUSED
Posting from my phone now, it took about three minutes to get down to this phone from the main forum page, and when it locks up I can't click menu or anything and yes the page was done loading and no I don't know why at 5AM I remember details I shoulda posted back at 5PM. Instant messages and texts also don't show up in order and some take literally hours to show up at all. My G1 and my cousin's sidekick both work in this location so I don't think it's a connection problem although I do get errors about not being able to connect to certain things but I have no idea what it means. One is like 'can't dial blah blah' but I'm not calling anyone.
I've never really had a good experience with windows mobile but I doubt this phone is actually really THIS bad. But, there's also nothing really pointing out a direct relation to this being a software or hardware fault.
Actually I'll post this then I'll post my version info maybe I'm not up to date
I can't copy paste this stuff? This is gonna suck
ROM ver.........1.20.531.4 (51986) WWE (this a limited edition wrestling phone or something?)
ROM date.......06/08/09
Radio.............3.45.25.14
Protocol..........61.27T.25.23U
I think I typed that all right. Is that up to date? I can't quite figure out htc.com, hell I can't even navigate my own site
I also can't seem to switch to transcriber or anything other than the default on screen keyboard
Is it possible to disable this mode? It looks like the stupid CD thing Verizon puts on there, anyone know offhand which files/folders to remove to get rid of this?
I'd rather it go directly to MTP.

It could be a system default then in the system files, but I 'm not too sure. I haven't had Verizon since I had my GS3 a few years ago, but that phone did the same thing.

Mine did it, but then again it wasn't rooted (this was before I knew the dark magic). I'll see if I can find an answer for you from my friend with a Verizon G3.
works like a charm
just jump into the system folder and rename the autorunusb.iso file to .bak. make sure you go into settings>storage>setting USB PC Connection and select media device. Should be the default going forward.:good:

unfortunately, this does not work, especially on a Mac.
After renaming the file, and confirming that teh storage settings were correct, it still launches into the installer mode, even if it doesnt auto-mount the folder. This takes up a whole minute while it works itself out.
Other online searches haven't shown anything else to help either.
I still can't get the ADB drivers to work on this mac either... I'm rather upset that LG would release a device that isnt compatible with machines for development the way almost all flagships are.
fixed!

I just went to setup one of my new units and even with the router blocking the 2 urls which worked fine yesterday my unit tonight did in fact take the update and is now at 51.1.4.0 !
Is anyone aware of a new server that Amazon is using to push updates when first setting up the unit??? This is very upsetting!
I CANNOT CHANGE THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD BUT DISCOVERED MY ROUTER WAS NOT BLOCKING URLS PROPERLY. WITH A NEW ROUTER THAT IS BLOCKING THE CURRENT URLS THE UNIT WILL NOT LOAD SO MY ASSUMPTION WAS INCORRECT AND I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY CONFUSION THAT THIS POST MIGHT HAVE CAUSED!!
(Perhaps a mod can change the title of this thread to a question instead of a statement???)
This is not good news. Hopefully someone has an answer for you as I am curious as well. I still have a couple that I need to set-up and really don't want to lose root.

Mine had something weird happen yesterday too. I was trying to backup my XBMC using adbFire and kept getting disconnected. So I'd connect again, get an error message, connect, then get disconnected. When it finally connected with a solid connection, I noticed that the Amazon Updates went from being turned OFF to ON. I unplugged everything and blocked all traffic through my modem before reconnecting. I've done a few reboots since then and everything is back to normal...on 51.1.1.0 with updates back off.
It felt like Amazon was trying to push an update to my unit, but I have no way to prove that. I'm very interested in seeing what is going on.
Well it is a possibility... Just glad I don't have to worry to much about it with CWM installed on all my FTV's...
Anyway... Guess @AFTVnews.com or some of those experiencing the problems can sniff if anything has changed using the WireShark prog. :cyclops:

The problem I've seen are folks starting from the same info point (guide/order) while their AFTV's are in different device states. It's not hard to do at all once you know from where you are starting. That way you can map out the correct order of steps with the Apps... You do have to choose weather to do it manually thru ADB or with an APP... I trust the APP more then doing it manually... I have seen folks trying to do stuff from the guides like the renaming of FW or Recovery files while trying to use the APP which is not necessary(Not sure if the .zip is being renamed twice, manually & by the app). Also RBox mentioned he is working on trying to stop the possible bricking....
Start at the first post here to get an idea how easy it should be. But the steps order or numbers can change depending what FW you are starting at & if it's a new out of the box or if its one that needs to be FW downgraded or both Recovery & FW downgraded.
Read page 47 just to familiarize yourself with the process. Don't try it right now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736774&page=47
If the problem is a new IP address that needs to be blocked. You need to wait for confirmation. If you can't wait then I would try to do the Stock Recovery Downgrade/ReRoot/Disable OTA Updates/FW Downgrade/CWM Installation, etc with only ADB allowed aka Offline. But not sure how some of the changes will require internet... Like to reconnect to your Amazon account. I would wait for confirmation of a new IP or other problem.. Probably offline...

Completely Correct... Some folks have run into problems during the downgrading. But even for them the keyboard trick with patience should/have get them back on the road to CWM. Got confirmation on a few threads here of folks getting CWM installed after getting stuck with the white Amazon screen or black screen.
I just tested with a Fire TV running stock 51.1.3.0_user_513011820 and it tried to download 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 from the same domain and URL as it always had. I then factory reset it and it again tried to download 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 during the initial setup form the same domain: amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net
So based on this test, I see no indication the update URL has changed. Of Course, it's possible Amazon is using a new URL for some Fire TVs while others are using the known URLs.
I'll continue checking periodically and report back if the URL changes for this particular FIre TV.

You didn't indicate whether it took the new firmware or not....did it upgrade to 51.1.4.0 or download the firmware?
I had a thought about this last night, but of course it's too late to try it on my units, but my router has 2 options....One is to block specific URLs which is what I did. The other is to only allow specific urls to be accessed. I'm wondering if you only allowed firs-ta-g7g.amazon.com to be accessed since you need that to register the unit and complete the setup if you could still get through the setup routine. It wouldn't allow any connection except to firs-ta-g7g.amazon.com. Don't have a unit to try it with, but it might just work and if not the worst that would happen is that you wouldn't get through the setup....no harm done.

I had the download domain blocked so it couldn't download the update. As for your suggestion, I tried it with one of the earlier units that would not proceed past a failed update. I monitored every domain it tried to access and slowly fed it more access one domain at a time. The result was always the same: it gives various error messages because it can't reach certain domains. It never got past the update point in the initial setup.

If you are blocking using a ASUS router that might be the problem. When I loaded the latest ASUS firmware on my RT-AC66U all my blocked URLs stopped being blocked. I had to step back to an old firmware to get the feature working again

That's exactly what happened!!! I put facebook and ebay on the block list just to check and it wasn't blocking either of them! I'm off to get a new NetGear tomorrow. They have a "genie" program that is extremely easy to use for blocking sites or words (or update numbers) and it's only $39. I took one of the updated units back to Staples today and told them it had connectivity problems...( it really did....it connected with the darned upgrader!) and asked the girl in this tiny store if she would get one from the back that was way in the back and on the bottom of the pile if she could. She actually did for me! It's the lowest serial number I own now, but I'm not touching it until I get the new router and prove to myself that the sites are being blocked. I need the break and a little sleep anyway....too many hours at this for the last week.
By the way.... I do believe I have a way of downgrading the new firmware to any older firmware that was ever out. I'm going to have to sacrifice a unit to verify, but if they store the firmware on a TSOP I can do it. Clone time coming up!
I'm not a software guy, but am a hellofa hardware tech. Did it with satellite receivers for years..... ( Still love tubes more than any solid state stuff though!)

It just dawned on me....with all of the excellent coders here and knowing that with Backtrack you can spoof a url or an IP. Someone could discover where the units are updating from and where they connect to and spoof the information..( along with the older firmware) and never actually have to connect with Amazon. The unit would think that it is connecting and download whatever it was fed and finish the initial install in order to root it.....just a wild thought, but I think a good programer could come up with a way to do it.

There are 2 things to spoof. One is the response from softwareupdates.amazon.com. Aside from the fact that if you spoof it the server has to be using a valid certificate (which you won't get), it's response is signed and encrypted. The second thing to spoof is the actual firmware download. That has to be signed or else it will reject it. It also has to match the version it's expecting to download. So you can't spoof the response that would make the fire tv download an old version, and you can't spoof the update itself because it won't match what it wants.
Furthmore... Backtrack has nothing to do with it. Backtrack is a huge piece of **** that doesn't do anything magical that any SANE Linux dist can't do. And what the... XDA censors? How lame is that...

I would advice you add a note to the #1 post saying that it's been resolved & it was a Router Software problem (in bold). Maybe change the title of the thread too. Some folks might not read past the tittle or first posts & start to repeat that there is a new IP updating FTV's when that is not the case.

I only brought up Backtrack as an example. It's merely a collection of programs written by other coders. Say what you will about it. Makes no difference to me, but it has served me pretty well since I am not a coder and have little knowledge in writing my own codes. Kudos to you for being able to. As I stated, I'm a hardware person and a technician. I can design a board, but programming for me is an entirely different story. Years ago satellite TV receivers had a similar issue where a receiver would not accept a card that was not the correct card for the unit. It was called the ZKT...( zero knowledge test) The receiver had some information encoded in the prom... (supposedly some sort of question that it asked of the card). The card also had some info coded into it. Neither had any purpose by itself, but when a card was inserted into the unit the unit sent out the encoded "question". If the card responded with anything other than the correct information the unit would not function. A coder discovered a way to program eproms that did not have this ZKT information in it and after programming an eprom and replacing the prom in the unit with the newly coded eprom the unit would accept any card that was put into it.
I'm only stating this as an example. It might come down to cloning the eprom from one good unit to one that has the newer firmware on it, but I feel very confident that someone can and will do it at some point. I rarely ever say it can't be done....too many times have I been proven wrong by someone knowing much more than I do and no matter how good you might be at something someone a little or a lot better is going to come along and do what you couldn't.
Have the Xiaomi Mi 10T 5G, which comes with Android 10 / MIUI 12 [Sort of combination of them i think], and i wanna install an older version of android only, lower than 10 [Preferably 7.0], is it possible to do at all? If so, then how exactly can i do that? if possible with exact instruction or guide to it..

For many reasons.. They changed it in some very bad way for my opinion.. like the auto turning on WiFi by some apps, like some apps that don't have widgets, the call recording issue and many more very annoying unreasonable changes they did on A10 on.. saw also they only allow FBE encryption instead of FDE which is much better [That i can see for huge 128, 256 or maybe 512 Gigs Storages but still it should be up to the user decision not forcing]
So you say it's completely impossible? even if flash universal / rooted ROM? no way at all?! cause man those are really annoying stuff especially to the tech Pros and/or savvy's like us, and i know that since i saw many threads and posts in other forums about those issues too.. Maybe some giving up or thinking it's advancements, but really, maybe big money involved, espionage, and many more possible reasons they doing it.. It's bad, really bad..

To be honest I don't understand none of your points.
1. Wifi can be still turned on by apps, you just need to enable the permission (allow always vs. allow only when app is running in foreground).
2. Call recording is working in regions where it's not forbidden by privacy laws.
3. FBE is much better because it allows you to start the phone with basic service without using the password. Not sure why do you consider FDE to be superior.
4. Well, you can try to build your own Android 7 ROM from old sources, but you're going to have a fun time adapting to vendor partition/proprietary files created for Android 10 or 11. Also using several years old code which is not supported or patched anymore is quite interesting approach to security.

Maybe it's regional or SROMs based issue, but the vendor of the app said it's not allowed on Android 10 and on, and i did confirmed the permission to turn on WiFi automatically, but maybe there's some other settings that i missed and that guy was wrong, i'd love if you can show how to enable it globally and/or to just the auto file sync i use, cause i tried many times even with manual syncing [by clicking the Sync button when WiFi is off, it started and turn it off automatically on Android 7.0.. Of course also for time interval based sync]..

Hi.. Thanks for your reply.. i did that already before, but still it doesn't work.. i use FolderSync, that currently in my old Android 7.0 device, does syncing when i click Sync from within the app, while i was totally offline [Data and Wifi] so it turned on the Wifi connection [Specific home network], and also on Scheduled i inserted the Allowed Networks SSID [Which BTW when i turn on WiFi manually and it does sync it with GDrive, it say on top 'Unknown SSID' for case it matters {Had the feeling that it very much does}], I also switced it on in Data and WiFI limit it does on that Security app, which i guess is kind of firewall, and BTW i remember like 5-6 years ago i had the Lenovo A8 "Golden Worrier" has that same kind of Security app built in with firewall and all that, but still manually at least, as i checked, it doesn't turn on the Wifi via FolderSync app.. Got a strong feeling it's due to that Unknown SSID stuff or that Security app.. Could it be?..

FolderSync doesn't turn Wifi On automatically, this feature seems to be missing in the app. But I've just tested with Tasker and it is able to turn Wifi On and Off, so it's not a problem of Android version.
For Allowed SSID feature in FolderSync you must enable permanent location access.
Btw. I see no point in turning Wifi Off at any point, it uses so little power that there is next to none benefit in doing it. If you insist on some kind of automation, use Tasker in a fully controlled manner.

Well your first argument is actually not tru, FolderSync does turns on Wifi automatically as i do for like 4 years with my older Galaxy s6 [Great dev BTW, Samsung's first 64 bit device i thinks] running now Android 7.0, and also the other day and im sure if ill try this right now it will actually turning on WiFi from off mode and also automatically closed it when done syncing, but no matter what i did it doesn't doing it on the XM10T5G, and it both updated to the latest FolderSync version the one with those tiles.. so it must be something with the operation system.. again it's some kind of Andro/MIUI OS so it has to do with one of them..
About the SSID, i did confirmed the location access all the time [not just when it's used] on the Security app, is there any other place that i should enable location or any other settings that may be relating to this?..
And really? you don't see the point in using Wifi? It's much more faster, secure, and reliable than data.. of course i don't care if it'll be 4G or 5G even better to sync, but obviously not any connection, but thanks for the Tasker Tip, i'll try that.. i've heared that somewhere i think from the gut of FolderSync..
And BTW, the call recording is legal in my country, so i did also many years but here only after trying several apps i found Cube ACR working good.. And also, some apps ask you if you confirm that Call recording is legal in your country but of course if you flash custom or different ROM, the system obviously can never tell..
Peace..

Again security and energy reasons.. Think about it..
Anyway i barely know how to flash ROM, so i'm very far from building a custom one.. But at start you said it's impossible to install / flash an older Android ROM to it [XM10T5G], so you say it's possible with custom ROM?

If you still use oppo f1s in 2021 or 2022+ go throw it away RIGHT NOW . your phone is fully spying on you and somebody inside or outside of oppo is fully viewing your actions andde things u perform on your device here is why
First after using the phone for 4 years i found out that it has a spyware built into the system that allow a person to fully see every action you perform on the android os
My oppo phone had android 6 with no malware or ADB enabled . And what happened to me is so crazy
One day i booted into my computer with a usb stick that had manjaro linux . So i booted into live persistence mode then i connected my computer to my wifi then when i turned my oppo f1s phone
and after the phone connected to the same wifi as my computer
Somebody hacked the linux os and started writing words on my screen then targeted a company from the USA by writing its name on a wifi login interface
So the person who control the spyware tried to say that the name of the company he wrote is responsible on the hack while it is actually not
The good thing is that i took a picture ofof the words this person wrote on my screen as you can see on the attachements
so after i wiped the data of my phone . Somebody played the google ring sound on the phone when the phone had no google accounts connected on it .
On that time i realised that the phone had a built in spyware used by oppo in order to monitor user activites and it has full access to the system and camera and microphone and your process list does not display it and u can not toggle its permissions or even detect it or remove it .
Just get another phone because the oppo f1s is not safe at all as i saw somebody gained access to my computer through the phone itself
While the phone had no running services at the start except of google services and messenger and facebook . And for messenger and facebook they were installed from the playstore
And the phone had no malware detections at all .
it has something unormal built into it
So if you still own a oppo f1s you better throw it away and switch away to another phone
This is not the complet story of the phone still more
Malware on Chinese phones?
X-helper may be present...

So why do you think hacker attacks are related to mobile phones?

Stop that you...
The fact is that the only running processes on the phone were system processes , messenger , facebook , and google services .
So after i wiped the data and after all installed apps were removed i did not enter my google account on the phone so the ring audio appeared and happened when the phone had no google accounts connected and no installed applications at all . Means that somebody played the google ring sound on the oppo phone after i wiped the data
So how somebody can ring your phone when your phone has nothing on it . And has no google accounts connected to it . So the spyware take part of the system
and for changing the rom or getting Twrp on it is a very hard mission . even when i tried flashing it with a pc and following most tutorials it, failed .
So oppo actually did something unormal with this phone . Also its a phone that was released on august 2016 so imagine what may happened with phone made on 2022 and 2021
This is quite serious accusation.
How did your Manjaro Linux get hacked while your phone was connected to the same wifi? I find it very strange to see Linux operating system can be easily hacked. From your screenshot, it even showed the X Windows hacked similar to remote desktop.

Yeah I was surprised too. I was running it on live persistence mode directly from the usb . So it was not installed on the hard drive also it had the default kernel and the default installation environment
So I did not install it and
I ran a command to install an application then the person who gained access to the linux os Canceled the installation and wrote ";6OR" then pasted "The Global broadband Speed test " on a wifi login interface .
He actually tried to target ookla speedtest company while ookla is fully out of the situation .
Even the ookla speedtest app that I had was installed from the playstore and was not running on the background and had no permissions at all
Just the person saw me running ookla on my oppo device did something smart and wrote it on my computer's screen after 4 years of spying as a way to hide or to cover what he did
Thats kinda weird
So malware also allow the attacker to gain remote access to other connected devices while having full access on the device . And the applications manager does not display it or even allow the user to modify its permission .
So the user will notice nothing at all

Android is a modified Linux platform. I feel safer running Windows on the PC to backup an Android. As a further safeguard the PC can't be connected to wifi or the internet.
A Android to PC infection could get very ugly if it was able breach the backup data drives. It's one of the reasons I have many backup data hdds that are time staggered up to years apart and physically isolated from each other and the PC.
XDA gets delusional people here weekly that think they been hacked. Sadly it's their own brain that's been hacked by biology or skewed thinking.
That doesn't mean that real infections and hacking don't happen. Documenting them is tedious and the last thing I care about doing when faced with an active infection or tainted file. My only concern is damage control and repairing the damage already done.
I really don't care if someone doesn't believe me when I tell them about a malware jpeg that damaged files in my download folder. I found that jpeg, successfully deleted it and repaired the damage... that's all that matters to me. That's the worst I've seen in 2 years running on Pie. Took about an hour to clean up, whatever.
I downloaded that jpeg, my bad. Fortunately I discovered it in the download folder by opening it there and seeing the changes made in that folder immediately afterwards. That's the second tainted jpeg I've encountered in over a decade.
If it had been a preloaded infected apk (or one I inadvertently installed) with full Administrator privileges the outcome would have been much worse.
This OP may actually have software issue not a soft tissue issue... just saying

Ummm,
Isn't all the firmware packages are downloadable? Where is the malware file located in the firmware exactly? Where is the related payload file?
Isn't it necessary to provide the malware file from the firmware to point out the malware was made by the vendor? How can you be so sure you're not hacked by somewhere else?
This story looks really like this: I think he or she is having an affair with one's wife or husband. Where's the proof? Sorry, I don't have proof, I simply think it happened.
Well, looks like no problem at all...

if I can find a way to get TWRP flashed on the phone I ll be able to take a backup ZIP file and send it here
so anyone here will be able to even try the infected OS on a test phone
by flashing the backup zip file on the "restore" feature of TWRP
And this is not the complet story ,
because when I got that phone for the first time on 2017 and when I was a kid , I was recording the sea on a boat then a girl came up and told me to take a look on her phone , then she showed me that the same video I was recording is present on a adult website and because of my age that time I did not understand what she wanted to say and that the video was getting streamed from my oppo f1s phone's camera and until this day I did not find myself even on the that website , and from 2017 until 2021 I keept using the phone which was the biggest mistake ever of my life until I realized that it was it was not only infecting my devices , it was also streaming me without my permission to an adult website while nothing on the phone is having camera permission
And the process used or I can confirm as the tool used by oppo is the "Android OS" itself because it has already full permissions and access on the phone that the user can not even toggle
Also I did never use the phone on a wifi having somebody connected with a Pc with such tools so I can confirm that it nobody has the ability to try hacking it ,
and for that story upside still more.... more..... like one time I went into a livestream video on youtube then the person that I started watching said
"Omg he is watching this video" and "Dude your ISP is spying on you and your whole country wont tell you and yeah they are streaming on P###hub and everyone think that they are making fun of you while they are actually not they are actually spying on you"
then the guy next to this streamer told him "Dude its not ISP basically nobody know why"
And there is another youtuber who showed the same reaction on one of his livestream videos
but the problem is that when I keept searching for the stream , they were deleted , I spent like months searching dor myself on the internet and I found nothing
A process called "Android OS" the one that the process bar display as system app ,

This is nonsense. You don't need TWRP to get the infected file. If it is made by vendor just like you said, simply download the official firmware from oppo and point out which file it is. Then analysis the file with rever engineering, this is how you can proof it is made by oppo
Anything grabbed from your phone can't proof anything. Anyone can insert malware into your phone. Even a local reseller can do that. The bootloader is not locked, even an APK that uses exploit to get root access can replace the system file of your phone. Your system might have been modified by some malicious APKs.
For example, if you use KingRoot, they insert su.kud file into your /system partition. Any malware that has the ability to root the phone can do that. Since the firmware is outdated without getting any security patch, any malware with ability to root the phone can insert dirty things into your phone. I think this may be the case on your phone.

Seems legit.
Guys, let's help him to clean up his infected Oppo!
I suggest we put on our red dresses and dance in circle singing the "Consummatum est. Diabolo fuge. Diabolo fuge!" incantation.
I know its kinda weird but... the last time I used it on I picked it up after booting it and I tried to talk next to it as if there is something that start running on the phone directly after turning it ON and that start streaming..
After I booted it I started explaining the situation and saying "bla bla bla the phone is hacked and the person who may be streaming the audio etc is a criminal bla bla this phone has nothing installed on it etc nothing is running on the background except of google services and some system apps bla bla if you can get him arrested etc.."
And after I finished speaking I went into the factory reset and I wiped all the data of the phone
and when it booted up again I wiped the data again ...
And after this when the phone booted up I did not enter my google account into the phone , so the phone had completly no google accounts connected to it
and here is the craziest thing that blew my mind
right after booting it , somebody played the "Google ring sound" on the phone while having no google accounts connected to it
That google ring sound is the one that anyone can play after getting into a google account and clicking on the "RING THE PHONE" option on
like there is no way for somebody to do such thing while no google accounts are connected to phone
so I was extremely shocked like how this can happend , I did not enter any google account to the phone...
I tried even to check my google account using another device and it was not connected to any device ,
So somehow that malware allow its owner to play such audio on the victim device...
like this is something that I found no explanation for
And As I remember this is the last thing that happened before I gave up using that oppo phone ,
I know im not writing this to get a wizard up to fix the phone or something , just trying to say that oppo phones in general are not that much private or safe at all after I experienced all this
also im not a professional or somebody familiar with malware reverse engineering , im just seeing the malware impact by its behaviour as any normal user ,
also I dont have that magical test environment to crop each part of the firmware and look into it , im still even scared from getting it connected to any wifi , like if it is going to explode
But the fact that 5 years from my life were getting streamed to an adult website by that malware .. hurt so much... , not only this but watching a livestream using the infected phone and hearing the streamers screaming loudly and showing that reaction
then finding out that many faces from people in real life start changing and hearing unexpected reactions as if they know something and they wont tell you about is something that is hard to understand
like yeah as u said , why would someone spend his life or do that or even use a malware in order to ruin somebody's life by streaming him into an adult website and doing all the possible to dont let him know about it ,
And ending up getting bullied in real life by unknown persons in a daily way for something u dont know and just hearing a few words from them that explain a small part of the whole story
anyway thanks just tried to share my experience

Factory reset is not enough to remove malware inserted into your firmware via root. Factory reset doesn't reset to factory state in your case because factory reset doesn't really rewrite /system partition, it just deletes /data partition. So any modification in /system partition still remains. If you run SafetyNet check on your device you will find out it fails to pass SafetyNet. How to find out? You can use YASNAC to check it. If your phone fails to pass Safetynet, that means your device doesn't have the same software as the stock one. And that means you need to use another method to reset your device.
You need to reinstall stock firmware with recovery or use DownloadTool to reset your device.
Seeing how you fix your phone, I think you really lack basic knowledge of Android or even cyber security. I suggest you remove this ridiculous thread because your accusation is actually based on nothing, but only with personal experience which was actually caused by misconception due to the lack of basic Android knowledge.

I know that a factory reset or even doing it billion of times can not solve the problem
I was just explaining that the whole thing going on here is not caused by user interaction , it means that I did not M I s t a k e l y end up here by doing a mistake like getting something to run on the os and giving it wide access on the device
And this is not the way I fix any phone , im not like the smart guy who says "hey go format your device and everything will be fine"

it passes safetynet, and all these problems keep going on , the problen is not caused by an app that had root access on the device
its caused by the stock firmware itself
