When you downloaded the factory image, did you check the md5 to make sure that the download wasn't corrupted?
If a fresh install of the factory image didn't fix those issues, and you had problems with different firmware roms, it may be a hardware issue such as bad ram.

it sounds like your storage has corrupted.

My nexus 5 is showing ads everywhere

My nexus 5 is showing ads everywhere and i don't know why !! I have tried formatting my phone but the problem still exists and also when i try to install system update , the android icon that is shown while updating is crashing .
Help please

I'd suggest doing the following:-
- Copy all your personal data/music/videos etc. off the phone onto a PC.
- Download ADB and learn how to use it.
- Flash the most up to date factory image onto your phone.
- Copy your data back to the phone.
- Once you are clean, be careful what you install.
Good Luck.
You can find instructions on things like ADB by searching the other threads on XDA.

same as above.

You can also try Adaway once the mentioned steps are done. It blocks most of the ads from apps, so you don't end up clicking something and filled with popups.
Cheers

Have you downloaded any porn that had spyware or adware

Issue with TWRP and Root

since upgrading firmware from b3++ to b571 i am facing this issues
1. google translate cannot instal the downloaded language.
2. root and unroot still left leftovers which hindering some of the apk wont run even with rootcloak
3. full twrp still leave missing symlink
so i have been experimenting what are the cause, twrp or rooting
1. google translate the issue is twrp ( not sure why) even if i restore to stock bootloader, translate will not be able to install the language file.
2. rooting and unrooting will still left traces which the apk still able to trace some of the su file. rootcloack wont work with some of the apk
so the only solution is to restore the whole firmware from scratch.
my question, is anyone manage to reslove this? . i want to root and restore few things like the data/network at status bar and hide/unhide the navigation bar. the unroot back cause i need some apk that don like root like banking apk

For what it is worth; I flashed the recovery backup over 51 and did a factory reset and flashed supersu for root.
- I used translate a week ago and was able to download language package
- I am able to watch TV with an app which is denied on rooted devices, maybe you could try adjusting some supersu boot settings as it works fine for me
- Data/network settings are stored in the Google cloud and auto restored?
- I use Nova launcher which allows navigationbar hiding. I bet it should be easy to enable.
Since restoring apps is not much a deal as you can choose all apps you want to restore in Appstore by using longpressing an owned app in your person overview.
The only downside may be needing to reconfigure some apps but I suppose you could restore those be need.
Which TWRP have you installed?

Apps not Downloading from Google Play Store and Files not downloading from Browser

Recently flashed a new rom, and selected the option to sync apps from my Gmail account to the phone for the first time.
I realised only some apps were being downloaded, and the others were "Downloading" but I didn't see a progress bar in my Notifications or Google Play Store.
The last time i flashed the same rom with the exact same circumstances but installed the apps MANUALLY it worked, but now it doesn't.
I have tried many general solutions like clearing cache and data but nothing helps. ( I would try deleting the hosts.txt but I cannot access my root folder even though my phone is rooted )
I am using the rom 14.1-20170426-UNOFFICIAL-hlte and the Gapps package open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170527.zip

How to reinstall documentsUI? [SOLVED]

Im running e/OS (based on LineageOS). The default file manager documentsUI (from the android open source project) was ok but was missing some features I would want such as root access. I found another file manager which had everything I wanted and then uninstalled documentsui using de-bloater: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.sunilpaulmathew.debloater/
Now debloater has a handy function to remember what you removed and then you can restore it whenever you want. But stupid me uninstalled it after i was done with it and now it no longer remembers documentsUI and it can't restore it.
Now im having issues where some apps try to open documentsUI for me to choose a file but the app no longer exists. Is there any way for me to reinstall it as a system app without having to wipe my phone?
I have root (obviously), magisk and twrp recovery if it helps. I also have access to android platform tools on my pc.
I turned off the phone (completely) and left it over night because it was low on battery. After turning it on all system apps I have removed just magically came back. I have tried restarting before but nothing happened so I really don't know why or how it got fixed but im grateful
