The Spyware is like a virus, you'd probably have to replace the entire ROM and RAM to get rid of it.

That's not how ram works...

It shouldn't, but there are rams that don't get wiped completely without power, making it perfect for viruses to be installed over and over again.

I forgot the bios btw... Also a great place to store viruses.

Really? Didn't know that was a thing.

But I feel that it would be much easier to just make sure the standard software can't get replaced, rather than infecting everything with malware

Yeah had a computer virus that effected the Bios and the ram, had to manually clean the entire thing like three times to get it out.

Pretty nasty stuff, and when its put in from the start they can just add a storage that cant wiped, wich gets booted together with the bios, its even possible to hardwire a virus in a system, actually its hilariously easy to do so if you know how.

I own an Oukitel that I'm willing to risk flashing when I can afford a new terminal.
