Build 10581 stuck on install

[RJames97]

So I decided to install the latest build 10581 and I got past the spinning gears but now I have a problem. My phone (lumia 521) tries to start up and I see the nokia and tmobile pop up on the screen. Then I see a sad " :-( " and it briefly goes to the spinning gears and then tries to restart again and it has been like this for over an hour. Is there anything I can do or is my phone bricked? Sad to say that this is my daily driver until the lumia 950XL is released

You can use the Windows Device Recovery Tool to flash back to 8.1 and try again

Thank you I'll try again tonight and hopefully the same result doesn't happen again
