Why would you completely abandon the phone? Doesn't reset to factory settings work? Or completely wiping and reapplying a vendor rom?

OP, on the off chance that this isn't an elaborate troll, and since you simply chose to ignore the correct technical explanations on why what you describe is not possible on the Android OS, here is how I would try to diagnose if it's actually AndroSpy or whatever it's called. (the simple file copies your it friend did won't work if it's a sophisticated spytool) At no point in these steps will your phone be required to boot into the OS, potentially allowing the AndroSpy app to wipe itself or the phone. 1. put battery back into phone, no sim card 2. flash a custom recovery as described here (CM Note 2 Installation Guide), follow only the "Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy Note 2" section. In this step you only boot into the boot loader. 3. boot into the custom recovery and do a full nandroid backup 4. copy nandroid backup to a computer with a standard usb cable, this is possible from recovery mode. No idea what your friend is on about having to build a custom computer and getting cardreaders and whatnot 5. now you should have a full backup of your entire phone, all of the protected OS files (your state of the rom), radio, recovery, bootloader, all installed apps and their current state as well as your private data From here on you could a) dig around in the filesystem directly for anything suspicious, this would require detailed knowledge of the android filesystem b) boot into a default virtual machine of a android phone (comes free with the android sdk), download Titanium Backup from the app store or sideload it, put nandroid backup file inside the virtualized phone, restore nandroid backup files into virtual phone using Titanium backup. This restores only the apps and their state, but most android spyware I know doesn't insert itself any deeper either, it only hides it's presence from sight. Don't allow internet access to the vm and monitor the behavior. c) find a way to directly boot the entire nandroid backup in a vm, 5 minutes of googling didn't provide any finds, might still be possible though d) share it with us as we could then verify your story Please stop insulting everyone here as unhelpful idiots now.
