[Solved] How to remove a hardcore virus ? Jan 11, 2016

    Alivethereality , Jan 11, 2016 :
    Solution is as simple as downloading the LG's Mobile Support Tool / ( For other phone brands download the provided official support tool )
    Within, there must be an option to reset the phone and flash the stock ROM ( the tool should download it meaning its clean so the virus should be removed that way )

    I did it differently, you can see how it was done by following the link below :
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7/help/how-to-remove-hardcore-virus-t3290721


    OLD Initial Elimination Progress :
    By hardcore i mean that it survives hard factory reset, system resets, doesn't allow to boot into bootloader/fastboot/stock recovery via adb manually.

    If anybody knows what is going on and how to solve it, i created a thread on xda developers where you can find more information as i'm updating the situation ( the viruses description is present in the thread ) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7/help/how-to-remove-hardcore-virus-t3290721

    Any idea on which virus specifically?
    EDIT- Read the xda. I'll ask a few people about it.

    Can't you try booting into recovery/fastboot using the physical buttons?

    Neither via adb, neither via physical buttons, it simply reboots the device

    In theory we can boot into qcom mode using terminal. Assuming the optimus has a snapdragon chip. With this you can unlock the bootloader. Then use something like chairfire (or whatever his name is) new flash tool to get a recovery on there. From there I would enable advance reboot and use the power menu to enter recovery.

    If it has a snapdragon chip, I would try to force qcom mode and use qfil....

    indeed,
    but a few actions seem to be available but i don't think its enough
    i've looked and the way is described to flash on a xda thread for this device is using KDZ flasher, but it probably won't work because adb is sort of limited and bootloader blocked

    You said the phone reboots. If you were trying Volume Up+Power like the OnePlus One/Nexus, whatever, it would not work. Sorry if I tried to help, won't happen again.
