Issue resolved.

This morning my Razr M received the latest OTA update. I was previously rooted with a locked bootloader (I know, bad choice).
I proceeded with the update but my phone massively screwed up: lost wireless, contacts malfunctioned, several apps failed.
I went through all the steps to clear cache, soft reset, hard reset, etc. Ever sense my phone has been stuck on the setup wizard screen stating "Please wait, this may take a few minutes". I left this morning at noon returned home at 7 and it is still on that screen.

Try using RSD to restore to the same version (4.4.2). I've gotten that wireless issue before, and I just had to format userdata and reinstall the update to get it working.
just roll back to orginal firmware by using RDS and after that,use OTA update
I upgraded to kitkat through OTA update and it screwed my tablet up. It kept freezing and restarting by itself all the time to the point it was useless. I did a factory reset and couldn't get it past the boot screen and if it did it froze seconds after getting to the home screen. I called Customer service and told them I was having issues because of the update and they said I could send it in for $99 and they would repair it....... yeah right. So I decided to root it, I used Odin 3.7 and twrp then flashed it with nolekat I thought I had it fixed but it started doing the same thing again I am feed up with 4.4.2 and want to go back to 4.2.2 where I had no issues I cant find a clean stock rom for the 210R and was wanting to know if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks

Hey all.
At my whits end. I just got the OTA for 5.0.1 (20b) to upgrade from 4.4.2 (10r). I was quite happy with the stability of 4.4.2 since my previous phone was an HTC One M8 with 4.4.4. I really like 5.0.1, unlike most people, I like the interface and added features, even though not all 3rd party apps can still not write to External SD.
But ever since I installed the official update, "android.system.acore" keeps crashing, preventing me from using any Google service, Dialer, Contacts, composing Email (through AquaMail), and using LG Backup. Called T-Mobile tech support and they said that this process is part of the central Android system and affects basically everything. That they have never had a report of this on any recent phone and haven't seen it since very early Android systems (Pre-ICS). They said the only sure way of fixing this is a Factory Reset.
Obviously I would prefer NOT to do that. Any solutions? Please. Prefer not to root, but will if I have to, especially if I can easily unroot.

Unfortunately when stuff like that happens after an update, a factory reset is a must. Especially to a big update like lollipop that has a lot of systems changes.
The same thing just happened to me this morning. Last night I started getting massive duplicate text messages - 1 every 15 minutes for the whole night. I tried clearing the messaging app and storage data and cache, multiple resets, different text apps, etc and nothing worked. This morning the acore message started running every 5 seconds. I've tried clearing the contants app and storage cache and data and that doesn't work either.
I'm mentally gearing up for a factory reset unfortunately. Given that I generally dislike all of the user interface and behavior changes in v5, this is just adding insult to injury. I'll probably end up rooting just to get things back to where I liked them...

If you don't like the interface, not to dissuade you from rooting, but you could always install an alternative launcher. That doesn't 3ven require root or a custom ROM.

So then should I just reset and not upgrade to 5.0.1, stay at 4.4.2? Or reset and reupgade back to 5.0.1? Or stay at 4.4.2 until the next update after 5.0.1 (which at the rate LG goes, could be years)? Or would it be safe to use a custom or stock ROM with Lolly? Or should I just assume that 5.0.1 is completely toxic for my phone.

if you do factory reset after you upgrade ROM, it will stay at whatever ROM you have, in your case 5.0.1.

According to your post you upgraded to the Lollipop rom already via OTA. So by factory reseting your phone now it will still be on the lollipop. But I am saying that by reseting the phone, you will have all your errors fixed and lollipop should be stable as KitKat if not better. If factory reset does not fix your issues that means that the updating process on your phone did not finished correctly, which is rare, then you would need to flash via KDZ. But if you are not against rooting and custom recovery, I highly recommend you do that instead of flashing KDZ.
Update for folks: I ended up doing a factory reset (what a pain) which fixed the problem. A few hours later as i was logging back in to all my apps and accounted, acore started failing every 5 seconds again. I read on a different forum that it was liked to Facebook trying to sync contacts which killed the contacts app. I uninstalled Facebook and everything works fine. So it looks like a bug in Contacts that something in Facebook is hitting and causing it to die.
I'm currently running Android 5.1 Build H81010e.
Since last week, my phone has alerted me that a software update is available. I start installation, the phone resets, and the notification comes right back after 2-3 minutes. It's been in an endless loop for at least the last week. Now my phone resets every 3-5 hours attempting to force the update, but it doesn't seem to ever install.
Anyone else having this problem on AT&T? Is my build the most recent? Any ideas on how to fix it?
If you want root, don't take the update.http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-prevent-updates-g4-t3148650
If you don't care about root, go to Settings > Smart Cleaning and use the cleaner. It may remove the update file and let you download it again.
Since AT&T blocked recovery mode, there's no easy way for us to clear the cache, so you may need to factory reset to get the update to download again.
Apologies for resurrecting an old post however this is the closest forum topic I can find. I have a G4 and I have the same issue as above. I keep getting a notification of a software update and when I try to install the update it just restarts and then 2 minutes later I get the same notification of an update. It's an endless circle lol. I have tried smart cleaning twice and each time I check for a system update and I get the original notification and the endless loop begins again. Is there anything else I can do to update my device? I'm not keen on performing a factory reset or rooting my device if at all possible. Also I'm not with AT&T. I'm with an Australian carrier.
Many thanks
So about a few years ago, I tried to root my galaxy note 4 (n910aucu2doi3), but I guess it rejected the root because it instantly bricked my phone, to the point where I had to completely wipe it using android recovery. The only way to get my operating system back was to download it online and install it through my PC (I had to find the exact version for my phone as well, 5.1.1 at the time, because it rejected every single other version).
Everything seemed to be working fine, except that I couldn't install software updates on my phone anymore. It was permanently stuck on 5.1.1. It was a bit of an annoyance but I didn't think much of it at the time.
Fast forward to now, and I'm getting several signs that my OS may be corrupted. My phone is constantly freezing, crashing and restarting. Maneuvering through applications causes the phone to freeze for a few seconds before either restarting or crashing the app. I want to say it's definitely a software issue, but I did install a new battery recently and it was working fine for a few weeks, could that be the issue?
If not, I want to start over, but I'm not sure how, and I don't know if it's safe to do a factory reset on this OS. Is there anyway I can get a fresh stock version of an android OS that can also update?
Any help is appreciated, I'm pretty much desperate.
I manually updated to 6.0.1 with the help of this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/updates-thread-t3663943
It seems to have fixed the issues so far, and my phone can automatically update again
