Mobile with Virus ( Galaxy A55 - SM-A426B )

[Gostlander]

Hello, My phone got a virus (I don't know how exactly)
What the virus does is the following:
- It does not allow you to connect to Wifi (but it does allow you to connect to mobile data)
- Constant restarts (it does not stop restarting as long as it cannot be used)
- to log in (e.g. Playstore) it just keeps loading, it doesn't let you log in as such

Methods I tried to solve it:

- Factory data reset
I installed the drivers and adb and fastboot to be able to do it from the pc
- I reinstalled a firmware from 0
(using Odin)

ALL THIS DIDN'T WORK

Please if anyone has any idea that I can do it I would appreciate it VERY much

If you've reinstalled with odin, are you sure it's a virus anymore? I'd say that's hardware failure. A virus shouldn't be able to persist a reset nevermind odin.

Something might be damaged causing wifi to break and crashes to occur.

Try just taking it to a samsung store. They have the official form of odin they can use if it really is a virus. Though it's sounding more like just damage now

This sounds like a hardware issue, not a virus. My suggestion is to contact Samsung for a repair. Not the most useful response, but to me, the worthwhile one.

If it were a virus, an antivirus such as McAfee should immediately stop it—and especially a software reinstall would. But again, to me, this sounds like a hardware problem.

Installing from odin carries risks and is generally not recommended on here.

Are you 100% certain that your new OS is the right region and came from a 100% reliable source?

If yes to both, it may be time to replace as Samsung Repairs won't touch it (due to installing unofficial software).
