After syncing this morning with desktop software, the message appeared that there is a new version of my device software available and I elected to upgrade. My current version is 5.0.0.602. After 3 hours, it is still frozen on backup. I am connected by usb. I am on AT&T and in the USA. I am afraid to unplug, but I need my cellphone and text! Thank you for any help!

if it is frozen on backup, then just remove it and pull the battery after.

once it reboots, you should be fine to use it.

Strangely, almost 1-1/2 hours after I first posted, for no apparent reason, the process continued and after another 30 minutes I have my blackberry back! Does anyone know how I can prevent an upgrade from freezing on backup in the future? It seems like this has happened to me in the past also. Today the whole process took 5 hrs 45 minutes. Thank you.
