https://forums.androidcentral.com/a.../901497-full-screen-ads-how-find-culprit.html is a start, though you seem to be pretty deep by having reset the device already. You mention only needing WiFi on and the ads start, do they not come up when using mobile data?

You only needed one post (we got 3)...

You may have to flash the stock ROM and start over. (Some malware installs itself as a system app with no name, so you can't "uninstall" it.)

Which phone this happening on?

Welcome to Android Central! After the factory reset, are you restoring a backup, or are you setting the phone up like it's a brand new device?
