Needing help with hijacked phone

[Beth Pearcy]

Despite my embarrassment, I am reaching out for help with hidden boot files, etc that are currently on every device I own. About two years ago my husbands and mine Google accounts synced on my tablet, and from then on I found hundreds and hundreds of files that my husband has planted so that he could control every aspect of my devices to carry on an affair. Until that moment I simply emailed, texted, and used Facebook, so the trail I have followed is very confusing still to this day. I know that he uses development software and Jenkins to control my devices, he manipulates all media and even locked in the bluetooth in my car to know my exact location. I have done my best, but I am also skipping what seems like years of IT training and am seeking some help on how to eliminate these "root" files. From what I have found, these files are symlinks and he seems to have my devices set up as an emulator. I am so overwhelmed and simply need someone to help me remove these, as they are linked to system apps, and impossible for me to delete. I have been learning ADB and my prop file even shows where the baseband has been altered with some sort of speech recognition software, and random recordings come up where I am recorded without my knowledge, even access to my camera. If anyone could offer any advice, or even talk me through a few steps I would be so very grateful. I simply want my privacy back and control of my own phone. Thank you....

Buy a new phone. Get a new phone number/service account.

Change the password to your Google account (or start a new Google account).

Reset the password on everything you log in to.

You don't say what device(s) you have, but the BEST way to ensure all of this is removed is to replace the device(s) and log in with new Google accounts, preferably created using a device he doesn't or hasn't had access to (to avoid the possibility he would have a logger of some kind to capture the new account).

Additionally - hacking/spying is considered a crime in many places. It might be worth a discussion with him and/or law enforcement (depending on the status of the relationship). Possibly a lawyer (maybe a divorce lawyer is already in the mix?).

^ That.

Welcome to Android Central! You seem pretty certain of all of the evidence on your device, so definitely bring this to the authorities and show them all of the evidence. A true hacking situation like this can't be solved on a forum.
