After updating to the latest firmware via OTA, everything crashed.
Every, single, app. Even the system gapps. Only things that worked: Settings, Browser, File Manager
So I factory reset, figuring it would work.
Nope, Now I cannot even complete the setup.
At step 5 I get Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
Then it goes back to step 1 of the setup.
I am NOT unlocked which is why i have no freaking idea what to do.
Thanks.
Fixed it using fastboot.

Last night I decided to switch to ART from Dalvick runtime. Ever since, when android finishes loading, I get the error message "Unfortunately, Android System has Stopped." I've tried returning to stock (I'm rooted) and neither of my windows computers can see my phone which is weird because I unrooted my LG G3 recently with no problems. I've performed a hard (factory) reset numerous times. Sometimes the android system loads up OK but as soon as I reboot or power down I have the error message again. I'm at my wit's end. I can't return the phone because it's still rooted and I can't get it to work. When it boots, the LG screen appears normally. The At&t screen appears normally. Please help! I'm desperate.
If you're okay with losing info, give this a shot. I'm not sure exactly why it's doing this unless you had xposed framework before. Anyway, follow the steps and it should fix it. I'm not sure if you've tried going into the boot loader yet and doing a factory reset through there. So you can try whatever you like

I can't get a computer to recognize the phone. I have tried a hard reset and I still get the error message. Any other ideas?
I had the same issue after I tinkered with something I shouldn't have tinkered with. I think I installed GravityBox, didn't like what it did, tried to factory reset, and started getting the Android System error consistently.
That link mcnick posted will serve you well. I would however use this thread since it's tailor made for the AT&T variant.

I'm truly lost for how to fix this. I'm trying to restore my phone to factory and I've wound up with major issues with the phone when it starts up. I get immediately those messages you get when a process dies: "Unfortunately, the process com.google.phone has stopped." I get this message for a huge range of apps, as far as I can tell it may be all or most of the built-in system apps, one after the other. I can't access settings or anything.
I tried restarting into fastboot and using "flash-all.bat" to wipe everything and install the stock images, then booted into recovery and attempted to wipe the data. I got everything wiped, or so I thought, but then the same problem still occurs when it starts up. How is this possible? Surely there could be nothing remaining of the old system on there at this stage?
After you flash factory images, there's no need to go in recovery again. Also, when setting up google account, don't sync app data.
Tried updating from 5.01 to 5.1 using nexus tool kit. Update finished without errors. Phone rebooted and went into Optimizing App routine. All seemed fine. After all apps are optimized the phone appears to reboot and repeats the the same optimzation. Every time once finished optimizing apps, the phone repeats.
I can boot into recovery and I have tried the following without any success:
Wipe/delete cache
Factory reset
What is the next step I can try?
Don't use toolkits. They'll never let you understand what's going on. That's the most important step.
Flashing a factory image definitely helps you. Backup your internal storage (pics, music and stuff like that) since it'll be also deleted in this process.
If you don't know how to flash a factory image, take a look in the General section of the Nexus 5 forums.

@experience7 gave you very good explanation why not to use toolkits. Actually flashing images is simple via fastboot and you need only to learn (or just copy paste) a few command prompt lines. That's how you will see exactly where and when something goes wrong. So people here will easily help you, because you could give them more precise informations.
If you allready did a factory reset its best time now to make a new journey.
I have a 32GB Nexus 5. Yesterday, I made a backup, then attempted to flash this stereo mod. After reboot, the launcher stopped. I attempted to go into the settings via recent apps menu, and SystemUI crashed. I flashed the stock mixer_paths.xml file, rebooted, same thing.
I restored my backup, and oddly enough, it still didn't work. I followed this guide to flash the factory image of LP, and even after the factory image, it still crashed. I installed the task manager I normally use, noticed that it didn't show any processes. Literally says 0 Processes, 20 services.
What could be the issue? Any way to fix?
Edit: Problem solved.
I have the US 32gb unlocked version. Tried to do the downgrade to install CM using the method mentioned several times that changes the version from a command put in twrp.
First I unlocked bootloader, then installed twrp, then did the command line thing to lower the fw version, then put the v1.12 firmware on zip then rebooted to install.
Well, the install failed so I decided to stop there and try to put everything back to stock by using the latest ruu exe from HTC. The exe started sending a file to phone, then locked up and threw an error. I restarted the exe and it finally passed. I got everything set up and went to bed while it was updating apps.
This morning, shut off phone to put in SD, and when turning on it was optimizing apps then when done, would reboot and optimize again. The phone was stuck in this loop until I let the battery die. I couldn't do anything with it.
Battery finally died and tried to run the ruu exe again. This time it would not pass at all, no matter how many tries. I wanted to try to run the zip from SD but the latest firmware I can only find as exe.
Finally decided to just do a factory reset from recovery mode. This let the phone boot normally and I could do set up again. I tried doing a soft reboot, and it booted fine. Then I disabled apps I don't use, and did a full power down, now the phone is back to doing the 'optimizing apps' bootloop.
Right now I'm waiting for it to run its battery down again so I can at least get to download mode/recovery. Maybe I will try a full power off and app disabling separately, to see which is causing the loop.
Anyone have an idea what's going on? A link to the latest ruu in zip form? I really need a sure fire way to get this thing full clean stock (remember the exe is failing for me) to eliminate if thats the cause. Is it because I edited the version number?
Edit: just realized I put this in the wrong section
Update: Once battery died, I did factory reset again from recovery. Went through setup, and I then immediately shut the phone completely off and turned back on. It booted up fine. I then went to disable the same apps as before, EXCEPT for the "Google App". Phone still powers up fine, so I left it there and phone is working fine. I didn't want to see if disabling the Google App was causing the phone to boot loop. I had that app disabled the entire time I've had the phone, but don't think I've ever completely shut the phone down, so maybe that's why I never had the problem.
Still don't know why the ruu exe didn't work. Hopefully it was the computer, and I can still take updates.
I have the same problem, can't disable apps without phone going into bootloop on restart. Can you tell me what apps did you disable? Facebook, Instagram, Google docs, HTC apps etc,etc...

I think what caused my problem was disabling the app called "Google App". No problem disabling all the Facebook and Instagram apps.
What about Google docs, slides and news apps? Can those be disabled?
Same problem with my A9 bought a week ago. Like Rouyal, I recall disabling the Google App and then came the OTA update and the bootloop. Tried alll permutations of buttons and even when I could get to RECOVERY MODE, all the options looped as well, returning to the same screen: no bootloader, no recovery. The only alternative screen was the "Enter your code to decrypt your drive" after leaving RECOVERY MODE. It looped as well. Copied the stock RUU to an external SD card; did nothing (with HTC Sync).
SOLUTION: Enter wrong codes for the "decrypt your drive" screen 30 times; that is the limit before the drive gets a factory reset. After the 30th it was factory reset. On restarting, the systems asks for the SAME email that was used previously.
