i was installing the new 8900 leak os. can the time for installing be longer then 30 mins? i went by the cb how to page and it says sit back and relax. its been two hours now. should i still continue "reading my book"?

Relax. When I reloaded my 8700c it took well over 2 hours. Plug your 8900 in a charger, get some sleep or watch TV read book whatever. Come back after a few hours if still nothing you might be screwed but there's still hope.

Please discuss any Beta OS in the Beta OS forum:

will do but i wasnt really talking about the beta itself just the loading time for an 8900

Any progress? How is it now?

All of my 8900 OS upgrades took less than 30 mins. One time it took 10 mins. But I have seen it take longer. When people were loading .234, they were getting frozen at the connecting screen after the load. A battery pull while connected to the USB rebooted and fixed it.

Personally for me its never taken longer then 40 minutes. When I did my friends phone we're talking about almost 2 hours.

Not more than 10 minutes for me...on any OS.

How can I get 5.0 os for my 8900?
