ETA: Let me know if you want my old (but still perfectly fine) LG V10. It's just sitting on the shelf. Cheers, Scott. Edited by Another Scott March 24, 2018, 09:54:45 PM EDT Expand All History

One of the research papers linked to from that SE post shows Coolpad is the source of the backdoor and that they were still actively developing it in 2014. https://www.scmagazineuk.com/hidden-backdoor-in-up-to-10m-android-phones/article/540936/ This one adds that you can uninstall CoolReaper with root privileges, so root and a vanilla ROM image should prevent it from returning via an OTA update.
