Sprint update needs up to 10 minutes plus to update - do not panic.

Be patient, mine rebooted 4 times and just sat on the update screen with no indicator twice after the 1st couple of times then rebooted itself and worked without me touching it.

Took at least 10 minutes.

I know, i thought my Evo got jacked up when i saw it do all this stuff, rebooting like 5 or 10 times. (specially when it took forever to pass the 4G logo on the first boot after the update)..lol

Also not to mention the 4G logo screen will stay there for a while. Plan to take up to 25 minutes people. Don't reboot unless you're told to or you go upwards of 25 minutes.

Yeah, I thought mine was bricked it wouldn't do anything and just sat there, it rebooted once and did the update, then once with a second indicator bar... then twice doing nothing and just sat there unresponsive.

This is the first phone I haven't wanted to up and swap roms, reload stuff on etc its been perfect since day one I didn't want it to ruin it!

So I downloaded the update and my phone has just been sitting here for 6 minutes. Is it working, or do I need to kick it off?

The whole process is about 15 minutes. You'll see 4 screens. Two rom loading screens, one with a progress bar one without, the HTC bootup screen, and the 4G bootup screen.

i know someone that bricked theirs because it prompted hm to update twice. first went well, second bricked his phone - won't even let it charge. saw someone else on here that had the same problem. weird that they would even let you update twice. luckily, mine went smooth like butter!
