I don't have a 500 and only recently purchased a 505 but I've had the same "Updating Firmware" screen that wouldn't go away. I recalled reading at some point that re-setting the reader 10 plus times would cause it to revert back to the original firmware (or previous firmware... one of those).
Actually not revert, but fall into firmware update mode.
As far as I remember, "Updating Firmware" is exactly the message one sees, when device is in recovery mode.

There could be many reasons why update fails. I would try redownloading firmware installer or even trying older versions.
