Latest Android update, turned my phone into a rock for 30min

[davetherayon]

My HTC One just went postal. After downloading an upgrade it would not go past the boot screen (in my case a 'HTC ONE' logo). On advice from the web, I detached it from the usb, powered it off, and held down the Volume Down key while it booted... now it's showing a 'Android is upgrading' screen. Hopefully it'll recover. If not, thats a bloody expensive phone that an upgrade has turned into a lump of metal and plastic. Currently on upgrade 76 of 246. (246? what's it doing, upgrading my phone to HAL from 2001 or what?)

*waits a bit*

*waits a bit more*

*still waiting after 15 minutes*

*hmm wonder if BT still have a phone box at the corner of the street in case of emergencies*

Finally done. I don't have a shed load of apps on the phone, God knows what it'd be like if you do. Half an hour with no phone, was like having my legs cut off.

TL;DR if your phone appears to die after this latest 'upgrade', put it aside for an hour and forget it.

[Q]

What was it upgrading? Android itself? if so to what version?
