Re: Lumia 720 is not starting up only showing cog screen (spinning wheels)

For some users, the spinning cog issue was solve by taking out the micro SD and then the installation resumes. You can install the apps in the SD card after the updating process.

If anything else fails you can use the Lumia recovery tool to reset the phone and of course without the micro SD inserted.

Also you can check this thread about the spinning cog problem.
