Trojan in Rom - How to Remove

I have a phablet with a Trojan (Expense Trojan). It is In-Rom. Security 360 or Malwarebytes cannot revove.

I have partitioned/deleted the usb card. I have rebooted to factory resets and it is still there.

360 Security says I may have to Flash the Rom? Root? I am not THAT tech savvy.

Hoe can I get that trojan off my phone/tablet? It gains access to presonal info and loads spam apps.

Is there someone in Los Angeles I can take it to? Advice?

Thanks.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Is this a Chinese tablet that has the built in malware cause a few years ago there were a bunch of them around the spyware is right in the system from the factory and the only way to get rid of it is to have a new rom installed.There are guilds on forums that can lead you through the rom insall but its really easy to brick it if you screw up. I wouldn't use it for banking or anything that has my identity but its fine to use otherwise. In other words disable the gps give it to your 4 year old and get another tablet . Not a Lenovo hahaha.

Wow. I didn't know that. This is a Chinese phablet, but I have had this a year and this problem just started happening about 3 months ago. I only download from Google Play, so there are infected apps on that store.

I don't want to brick. I want to fix. Guess the only thing to do is replace the rom.

Security 360 or Malwarebytes both told me. I installed a month ago after I started getting spam p o r n apps loaded on my tablet without my consent.
