Got a new vibe, has Vibe UI v2 installed. Can I get stock?

Hi all,
My old vibe died and couldnt find a better phone on the market since 2015 so got a new one. However I dont know what the heck is installed on this one.
I have never rooted before but have a cs degree so im not out my league. With the details in the image below, do you know what I can do to get stock installed?
The phone has a trojan application called fun weather and i cant remove it. Have done everything from root access to hard deleted. But as soon as i get wifi again it downloads. Are all custom roms like this so the developer can make cash? I also dont know if this is ROW or China. It has google services installed.
VERSION AND DETAILS SCREENSHOT HERE (2K image here fills the whole browser.)

OK so after failing to remove it I was able to flash the device.
I made a guide for my future self and also to show that the China mobile varient can be easily flashed and still work. Im from UK and no issues with SIM. It also read my philippines card no problem

Maybe this was one of the early firmware. Lenovo has given 5.0 to this mobile. Why didn't you try to update it?

Samsung s7 help

I'm new to this guys, so I'm going to make this long story as short as possible.
A couple of years ago. I bought an s7 (sm-g930fd)from a guy who goes to the university in my city. I'm assuming he was an international student by the phone model. The phone never worked as a phone, but got it cheap to play games on for my kids. The longest time the phone was fine. Until about a month ago it started crashing. So I decided to have a look and found it was on 6.1 firmware. I tried updating using the phones settings to no avail. So a few weeks back I started reading into it. After a bit of reading I decided it seems simple enough to upgrade the firmware to 8.0 (as my s8+ uses it and recently my girlfriends s7) so I might as well update it. This is where my troubles began lol.
I followed a tutorial posted (on the sammobile site where I got the 8.0 firmware). Upon following that tut, and adjusting the settings in developer mode (OEM-off) I was with a start screen that had the red frp text at the top. At that point there was no turning back. Had to flash with the new firmware to fix the frp notice.
The flash worked perfectly. Or so I thought. I started to process into getting the setting up of the phone and bam. The last google account I used on there no longer worked. So I tried all the accounts ever logged in to it. Google locked. I learned today that frp and google lock are one and the same lol.
Everything I've read up until this point says I cant bypass the frp. So I've read downgrade to 7.0. Problem is odin wont downgrade to the 7.0 firmware.
I have no clue at this point what my options are. I'd rather figure this out myself. There is a fellow on local kijiji who wants 20 bucks to bypass the google thing. I'd honestly rather not. Hence this thread
Help or ideas? Anyone?
And sorry if this post is in the wrong section.

So the phone is IMEI blocked and Google account locked. To downgrade to 7.0 you have to find firmware that is March 2018 (Binary 2 Rom) downgrade from 8.0 Oreo or newer that is on nougat. You still need to search up on youtube the bypass method for doing so.
IMEI part, you'll have to search around for that service.
PM me if you need help with what firmware you need to flash.

Its Google locked yes. Not too sure about the imei. I've never used this as a phone. The guy who sold it to me said it was a demo model and the sim tray didnt work.
I actually just had my girlfriend take it to a guy locally, who's doing it for me.

SM-G955U SA4 Combination Files FRP Bypass

I have a Samsung SM-G955U that I need to get the combination files for so that I can bypass the FRP. I legally own the phone. The guy I got it from is not at all tech savvy and he forgot the login and the prepaid number it was associated with is no longer working. I've tried the method that you can do without a computer and it seems impossible. I have flashed a lot of phones in my years so I think Odin is going to be the best way to go. The firmware I'm on is Android 8, and the actual firmware version is G955USQU5CSA4. I don't have a lot of spare time on my hands these days to dig Google for days looking for all the right stuff to flash this to bypass the FRP, so can someone PLEASE point me in the right direction? If I can just get the files I'll need, the other part will be a breeze for me. THANNKS! Any help is VERY much appreciated.

New refurb stuck on FRP lock boot loop.

Hi lads
My partner recently got a refurbed 128 gig S7Edge, perfect quality no issues.
I never had a look at it, I've only ever used and worked on HTC phones, so I don't want to **** this up by randomly doing stuff. I know he's unlocked dev options for things like keeping screen on etc, but other than that I don't even know which version of the OS it's running, if it was even genuine stock or if the refurb guy had possibly flashed another version. Who knows.
Last night was the first time it ever completely discharged, and as he tried to turn it on this morning, it popped up with the custom binary FRP error message.
It will only boot to download mode which is in Korean (nightmare getting google translate camera to work on a phone screen), usb not recognised on my laptop.. I'm not really sure what I should do next. Most threads I can find are about people flashing custom roms and getting errors but we've done no such thing, the battery simply discharged.
If you could guide me to the next step , what's safe and what isn't, that'd be very helpful, thanks! Different when you're working on someone else's phone.
Edit: Download Mode shows Current Binary as custom and system status as official. Is this correct though, or is it just a standard assumption with this FRP thing?
Have tried using SamFirm but neither the model SM-G935S, nor region (Korea) seems to exist. Found something on Updato but it's a 10 hour browser download I'm pretty sure is gonna fail as always happens.

Right I've tried flashing every version of firmware from Updato which took.. well since the post to download. I'm just getting errors, I'm getting absolutely nowhere and I have no idea what to do next. The seller is happy to replace the phone .. with a 32 gig version instead of 128 gig. That's.. that's not great. There's gotta be something I'm overlooking here? Also, SamFirm doesn't have my version and just gives me errors when putting it in manually.. Should I not be going for the original firmware which is Korean? Can I go for a UK version and it won't matter?

Samsung S8 Brick HELP

I tried flashing Magisk onto my phone, everything was going well then suddenly it went into a boot loop and I assume Knox was tripped. I can get it into download mode but I can't find the firmware and I'm quite lost. Someone, please help!

I am also looking for my firmware. I must say it's a huge pain in the rear to find something that you can download for free.
From what I found it seems the fastest option is from samfw dot com
There, you have to find out your version, your region and carrier as well.
Good luck, you're not alone, although as you wrote it 4 days ago I assume and hope you already found something
edit: found better site
