"System is damage" loop message

I have the "System is damage" message popping up as picture on my screen every 2 seconds.
There is nothing wrong with my phone, it is a virus or Trojan taking root control of my phone.
My phone is rooted and I have tested dussins of malware and anti virus apps. Nothing helps.

The error message is comming up in safe mode and with all my apps deleted and SD card taken out.

I have tried unroot, restore to factory settings several times. I have no Stock ROM and I have tried todo a Custo ROM that is not accepted. I have looked in all /system libraries and can not find anything wrong.

Now, I am running out of options.

The smart phone is an unbranded Chinese Volte4G+ based on the MT6589 SoC and have Android 5.1.1. It is very stable and is working perfect besides the mentioned problem.

Please advise.

Sounds like you'll almost almost certainly need to reflash it with the original manufacturer firmware, check with the manufacturer or the vendor for that.
 
That is my concloution also but the reseller dont know the Stock ROM and can not get it. He can give me a new phone but then I will have the same problem again.

The problem started with a lot of adwhere and selfinstalling apps. When I succeded to stop the malware the error message come up as a punishment and is the only problem I have left. But the phone is useless.

I will buy another phone but I am curios and want to know what is causing this error.

I have a bad feeling this is a new way of Cyber-Crime where the mallwere and Trojans are installed by the manufacturer to earn extra adverising money and also be able to sell the phones very cheep, in my case $50.

Remember the phone is unbranded and is faked with high technical info.
4GB RAM, 128GB internal memory 2GHz 8-cores CPU and 256GB SD.

My real test results are: 478MB RAM, 1.2GB internal memory 1GHz 4-core.
The CPU is reported as Spreadtrum from some tests. So, instead of beeing a high end phone It is a very low end phone, but it works with a lot of malware.

The phone is not only faked it is a criminal scam to deceive you, it is not what you think it is and most people dont know because it is very professionale done.

I dont care about the money but want very much to know how they are doing it since this is only the beginning of a new scam.

Is there any program that can scan the Java code and search for the text strings or pictures with the error messages?

If it is to good to be true it probably is.

Thanks

At this moment if you have any linux experience proceed with downloading a terminal on your phone and looking at all running processes.

Find which is the issue and use the kill command to stop it, then find which file is causing and use rm -rf command to delete it using root.
