Activated new phone. How long to load OTA software upgrade?

I activated a brand new phone this morning that I purchased on E-bay (Verizon, Boulder C-711, made by Casio).  I followed the steps on the Verizonwireless web site and dialed *228.  I was told that Phone was successfully activated.  However, I was advised that the phone was going to receive a OTA software update. The phone immediately went into some type of download mode and the screen on the phone shows the VerizonWireless logo.
I have been waiting over an hour for the phone to do something.  The screen still shows the VerizonWireless logo and all keys (including the "END") do not respond.  This is to say that I tried to depress the "END" key to shut the phone off and it would not shut off.  I did this thinking the phone may have locked-up and I was trying to turn it off in an attempt to re-boot it.
Question 1 -  How long shoud it take for the OTA software upgrade to load into my phone (1 hour, 2 hours, more, less)?
Question 2 - If phone is in fact locked up, where do I go from here?
Any help would be sincerely appreciated. 
Thanks,     Bill. 

Please disregard my question.  My son, who is very impatient, came home and learned that I had been waiting over hour and a half for phone to do something.  He called VerizonWireless support and got a very helpful service Rep. on the line.  She told hime to remove the battery then re-install the battery and turn the phone back on.  The phone re-booted and the necessary software downloaded (it only took one minute for the software to download).  The phone then re-booted again and everything seems fine.  I have been able to make and receive calls now.
Hope this helps anyone else with similar problem. 
Thanks.  Bill.

    Hi @chandlar_27! Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    Warranty? You have to conntact the place where you got it.
    To know if it's not been used yet, Go to the Phone App> Swipe down from the top screen> Settings> Call Summary.
    if the number there doesn't match your personal use since purchase, you will know it has been used before.

  • I am using FCP 7.0.3.on my Mac Pro. I bought a new mac book pro and loaded the software on to the lap top but the software is 6.0.3. How do i get the update to the lap top?

    .. and by the way, the jump from FCP 6.0.3 to FCP 7.0 (or higher) isn't an "update"  It's a full version "upgrade" that has to be done using the install discs (or disc images).

    Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

    You actually have to go through extra steps of setting up your phone as new, updating and then erasing and restoring from that back up.

  • How do you restart a software upgrade if its been stopped ?

    How do you restart a software upgrade if it;s been stopped?

    just reboot and check for updates again.  The system should have no trouble figuring out what was done and what needs to be done or re-done.

  • My iPhone 4S was recently replaced as it had a faulty wifi antenna. The new phone no longer syncs iMessage with my ipad like the old one used to.

    My iMessages were always automatically synced with my  6 monthold iPhone 4S. However the phone recently had to be replaced by apple because of a faulty wifi antenna. The new phone was restored from backup. It works fine but iMessage no longer syncs with my ipad. I've looked into the settings and can't see anything wrong? I can iMessage from my phone and iMessage from my ipad but they don't synch. Very frustrating. Would appreciate some help. My nearest spple store is 30 miles away. Thank you so much.

  • Activation: New Phone vs. back-up

    I think I just made a big mistake in activation.. I chose to back-up my new iPhone4 from my previous phone. Should I have chosen "set up as new phone"? And now how do I correct this?

    You did the right thing since this will put all your text messages, etc. onto the new iPhone 4. I did this also... it is the recommended procedure. You should be just fine.

  • I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room, when i recently updated my new iPhone it has backed up to my old iPhone and I have therefore lost pictures, messages etc from my new phone how can I get it all back?

    I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room.  I have recently updated my software on the new iPhone and when it backed up it backed up to the old iPhone, I have therefore lost pictures, messages and apps from my new iPhone as it has backed up to the last session of the old phone, how can I get all my new stuff back and stop it from happening again?

    No such thing has occurred.  iPhones do not backup to one another.
    It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
    If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

    Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.
