Hero 2.1 update-inital boot time

[Eklecktika]

Installed 2.1 (eclair?) on my Hero this morning, finished installing at 9:27, it's now 10:15 and still hasn't finished rebooting.

Is this to be expected or did something go wrong?

thanks!

IIRC mine updated on Thursday and took around 20 minutes from start to finish. Mind you, that was on a UK phone with T-mobile

Is this an update from HTC or is your phone rooted? My buddy just got a used Hero and he's new to android

It was an update from my provider, so I assume HTC.

I dont' dare root my phone...I need all the warranty help I can get.

may want to use that about now. i went to the store to have mine done, i heard stories of people updating themselves and bricking the phone. that said, yes, 2.1 does seem to take longer to boot, but not 20 min. it also seems to eat more battery
