Was your phone rooted?

No, the bootloader is even locked.

Same here... the Nexus 5 got an error and keeps booting (flying colored bullets) for almost half an hour now.
Nexus 9 went trough without any problem.

at least mine reboots witouth issues and 30 mins later ask to apply the update again.

Think I'll have to hook it to a pc and manually recover tomorrow. Unless better solutions arise...

Hold the power button until it turns of and then restart it.
My wife got a problem with Google+ after that so we uninstalled it and restarted the phone and updated google+ again.
After that it worked fine again.

I just got the notification that the update is available, but before I actually download/install it, I was wondering if there's any reason to not do it? Are there any problems being reported by people already done the update? A reply would definitely be appreciated!

Try wipepartition cache. Interesting to be to know what network. Is your phone branded by Operator or unbranded.

Since I'm new I cannot post links - stupid rule!! - can somebody help me out?

Hello,

I managed to solve this issue, based on this thread:

??

I did not have to follow exactly the instruction, but basically peformed the following:

- I downloaded, unzipped in one folder this rom "Flash 5.0 N5-12-09-2014.zip" from here: ??
- I immediately installed the UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi in this folder
- I downloaded, unizpped in same folder this zip "Recflashr.zip" from here: ??
- I hooked the N5 to the windows PC with USB cable, put it in bootloader mode
- I launched the script file From Bootloader.bat, followed the instructions on the PC screen

Done!

The N5 needed 3 more upgrades (amongst the to hated update that blocked the device), but never got stuck again.

You probably could try to flash to the newer rom Flash 5.0.1 N5-12-17-2014.zip, but I did not try.

To be complete, I have to say, that before this I installed the Android Studio Package, and the USB device driver, but probably this dit not interfere with the above.

The N5 is 2 days up and running, so it works.

Good luck to all.

Same problem Here just with my Nexus 9. It also says error, now its not booting at all, just keeps spinning at the boot logo!

My links work , I just can't post them :-(

Yeah, wipe cache and data. If that still doesn't work, flash the latest factory image.

Just google search: "Nexus 5 factory images"

Instructions for how to flash are readily available too, but I can't post links yet, lol.
