Give me a hand with my dodgy Android Russian Spy phone.

Hey Everyone!

​

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, If not, please direct me where to go.

​

So I arrived in Australia and needed a phone, I brought a $50 android off FB marketplace because that's all I could afford.

​

It went well, but after a couple of weeks it was suddenly riddled with spyware/adware.

I did a factory reset and all seemed well, a few days later once again a whole bunch of suspicious apps were installed on it.

​

When I try to Download secure apps like my Banking app and Uber, my bank account was insta-Frozen and Uber Auto-banned me.

​

these are some of the dodgy apps I find on it:

​

clock: 1.36mb, 4.44mb data usage in an hour, Looks like the clock app, but it isnt.

com.android.contacts: 100kb, uses 1mb per hour it's installed. When I delete it it comes back within a day.

com.app.origional.init2in: 1.25mb, No Data use, comes back within a day.

com.hamy.main.app: 236kb, 18.93kb data usage in an hour, Keeps coming back when I delete it.

coordinator: 14.94mb, 67.84mb of data usage in an hour, Keeps coming back within a day.

f: Symbol looks like Facebook, but it isnt. 220kb, No data usage.

​

​

The phone is a XP7800, Running Android 6.0, Kernal 3.18.19.

​

When I google it, there's only links in Russian and AliExpress/Alibaba.

​

So I assume that the actual Android version on the phone is dodgy, Which is why it tends to auto install these apps.

​

I'd like to be able to use the phone for banking and Uber, Maps etc because I'm new to this city and my bank requires the use of the app for verifying transfers.

​

Can anyone recommend me a way to get a new Android version on this phone? I cant afford a new one and if it's possible I'd like to clean up this one.

​

Thanks in advance!
