[Q] Cant establish reliable connection. TRIED EVERYTHING

Okay guys, i wasnt too sure where to post this so yea feel free to move it to its right destination haha
so, I have a rooted Moto G xt1032
everything was fine till a couple of days ago.
then all of a sudden i couldn't connect to the playstore. I thought it was a problem with my internet connection but after a while i realised it wasnt. so i unlinked and removed my gmail account. When i tried to relink it to my phone, it said "cant establish a reliable connection to the server."
then everything went haywire with my phone and a few apps kept crashing all the time.
I saw a solution which said to delete the "hosts" file but i couldnt change or delete it because my root explorer app kept crashing all the time.
So i tried factory resetting my phone, hoping that doing so would fix my problem.
But nope -.-
I cant get to my "hosts" file because i dont have a file manager and i cant install a file manager because no downloads get completed for some strange reason.
I've tried clearing the cache and a few stuff from the recovery (not TWRP or CWM) but i could try again if you suggest it.
Is there a way to get CWM or TWRP and then flash another rom? im not too sure but that could fix my problem so yeah
PLEASE HELP D:

Deleting the HOSTs file was not a solution, I know you read it here but it was fake.
I suggest to follow this guide to restore your phone

[Q] problem with possible virus running Chrome...

First, I am rooted, s-off, and running dottat's custom MM ruu.
I am having a problem with a virus or something on Chrome. I keep getting a popup window to fix a virus problem or something. I have managed to get out of it without clicking OK.
I have Chrome frozen right now with Titanium Backup. Can I use TiBk to wipe Chrome data and restore previous uninfected backup? Or uninstall Chrome entirely, reinstall Chrome from Play store and restore previously backed up data? Or is there maybe a particular file or folder I need to delete manually to fix this?
I have Kaspersky Internet Security app, and have scanned my phone and its coming up clean.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It's probably ransomware, clear data off chrome and you should be fine. It's just someone trying to trick you to pay for something to get money and it locks the browser. There shouldn't be an actual virus on your phone.
The really advanced stuff will actually encrypt your data and tell you if you don't pay them they will delete all data off your device in a set amount of time. It'll set a random lockscreen pin to prevent you from entering your phone. Even this should be easily fixable with an s-off device, but you don't have anything that dangerous.

OK. Wiped data with built-in app manager. Wiped data again with TiBk. Restored backup of data only with TiBk, and rebooted. So far, everything seems to be fine.
I will report back in here in a couple of days if nothing pops up.
Thanks for your help.

Just wanted to check in for anyone who may be looking for a solution to this problem, that at least for the last two days, I've had NO pop-ups. So, I'm going to say that it worked.
Thanks again for the help.

Do phone carriers have access to system files?

Good day to you all. i'm the owner of a virgin mobile venture phone. (version 2.3.5) i recently upgraded to a new device, but on the venture i have very important memos that are saved in the system folder called: "com.m7.juke.memo"
i tried to root on my own to gain access to that folder using "baiduroot" but supersu fails to install on all versions. im new to rooting so have no idea why it doesnt work.
i tried the fixes that i found online, like downloading the 2.79 version etc. but nothing works. i'm also confused on weather im actually rooted or not, because while an app in the play store called "fast root checker" says i am, many more apps including "root checker basic" says im not.
i'm a writer and my full manuscript is in that memo folder, and at this time an agent wants to see the full manuscript. so im really in a depressed/panic state right now.
i'm not tech savvy at all, and at this point i really dont have time to try to figure out how to get in that folder.
so what i want to know is: if this rooting thing doesnt work which it looks like it's not. then does the phone carrier have access to those system files incase of emergency?
at this time i dont have access to pc to try to root from there.
any help you can provide me will really be appreciated, thanks.

I don't really understand the problem. If you still have your old phone there should be no problems getting the data by just using that memo app, or what did I miss?

Thanks for your reply. Well actually the data is in a system file folder. It's a stock memo app that came preinstalled on the phone. And it has no backup or sync option. The phone doesn't either, its very old. Basically I actually had to do a factory reset last month because of a boot loop problem, and I was gonna try to use recovering software to try to recover the data, but after further investigation I found the memo app in the system folder and the date it shows on the app is the same date I made edits to my manuscript, so I figured it might be a chance it was never deleted. So I want to get in there and see if it was still there before using recovery software.

Oh ok, now I see your problem.
I'm sorry to say that all your work got wiped in the factory reset unless you can find it with some data rescue app. Unfortunately this will become very hard if the phone have also been used after that, cause there's a chance it's been overwritten.
You won't find any data in system partition. All app data, even for system apps is written to data partition because system is always read only unless you have root and change things in system.
A factory reset wipes data and cache, but does not touch system because it's never supposed to change (read only).

O ok. Well if that's the case I hope you can help me figure out this root problem so I can try a couple of rescue apps. I rooted with baiduroot the other day, but SuperSU is not installing on my phone after. What could be the problem? I want to root so I can try a couple of Android based recovering apps. Of course I would just connect to PC and download a recovery app from there, but Unfortunately I don't have access to my PC right now, so I'm hoping to root and use an android based recovering app.

Virus on new phone (Protruly v10s)

So I bought one of these babies from an online Chinese website, after using it for a while, I noticed a few random apps here and there would keep installing themselves (emoji flashlight being one in particular) . I decided to scan for viruses and wouldn't you know it, there were quite a few of the trojan variety. anyway, so i decided to do a factory reset and then I installed malwarebytes to do a scan and what do you know, theres a trojan attached to a couple of the built in system apps (contacts and file manager) which unfortunately I cannot delete, only disable.
So the next step I thought was to do a clean install but it seems to be the case the phone must be rooted before this can happen - and being an obscure brand (Protruly v10s) theres nothing in the way of a guide for rooting for this particular model, or indeed even manufacturer.
so i was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts how to best manage the situation going forward, is disabling the infected apps enough or is the case the apps need to be deleted, and if so, what steps can i take to get this to happen.
thanks

Anyone?

China they are watching us.

Apk apps on file manager
Have the same issue here. Even after deleting each apk in the file manager and reset the phone. The apps keeps coming back. You can also see the apps in the file manager by using esfile manager. Select phone memory and search apk. It will show all the apps that is automatically installing in the phone. Try to delete it but it is like an ai monster it keeps respawning. Hope there are experts that can help us in these issues.

The only options I can think of are:
1) find some way to root the device and remove the problem apps completely from system.
2) if the stock firmware is available for the device, you can try downloading the firmware then extracting the firmware to get access to its content, then remove the problem apps from the firmware then repackage the modified firmware and flash it, it should no longer have the problem apps after flashing.
3) if the original firmware isn't available, you can try finding a compatible firmware from a device with the exact same hardware and try that firmware, if that firmware also has apps that are virus/trojan, remove them before you flash the firmware.

Also, if you're uninstalling the apps but they keep coming back after you reset the device, that seems to suggest that there is a hidden partition on your device that contains a copy of the system apps and it keeps restoring them from that partition when you reset the device. I have a Azpen A 750 tablet that does the same thing, I can uninstall the apps and they stay gone until I factory reset the device, then those apps come back.
It's kinda the same as the process on a Windows laptop that has a recovery partition containing a copy of your Windows system then using the "restore to factory defaults" option to reset the PC.
