I'm assuming you are dirty flashing? Try backing up any data you need manually and clean flashing. Also check md5 just to be sure

Hi by dirty do you mean running the phone and using it on a daily basis then going to recovery mode and then going update?

Md5 is good

I believe dirty flashing is where you don't wipe everything on the phone before a rom flash.

Yeah its dirty updates so you recommend backing up data and doing a clean update also what's a fast way to backup apps and media

You could use titanium backup or similar. Clean flash is: from recovery, wipe system, data, cache, dalvik/art cache, then install rom and gapps etc.
