The phone will finish rebooting and then you will need to restore your apps from your backup.
i did do the back up but wont it brick it? if i unplug?
No. The OS has already been loaded it just restoring you apps and contacts now. So doing what I said should not harm your phone.Quote:

Thanks. I did what you said and it worked. I lost my 3rd party apps but no biggie. Does 5.0.230 not have BB maps or docs to go? I lost all of those apps also??
The OS does have those. If you already loaded OS to phone, go to options> applications and check under add-on/core/3rd party apps. If they are not there, open Desktop Manager, click add/remove applications, and select those in the list, then load to phone. :)Quote:
