Thanks for your response.
I'm pretty sure it's the second time too. It looks like the 4th picture in your post that you linked too.
It also said S-OFF, and the HBOOT is 1.49. I think that's a good sign, I was just getting really worried because it was taking so long. Everything I've read says that it should take 5-15 minutes or so, not over an hour. I actually did a battery pull (probably really stupid of me) because I was freaking that this thing was bricked. My phone seems fine now, though (although it's still not rooted).
So you're saying I should charge my phone 100% and then try again?
OK, here's the good news: The most important part of the rooting process on your phone has been completed. That is exactly what happens in the 0.25 seconds right after you press the Vol-Up key and just before the screen goes black.
If the phone got stuck here:
, then it was unpacking the Zip file
that had already been transferred to the phone's internal memory.
That makes me very nervous, frankly, because it means that the phone glitched when acting completely independently from the outside world.
But, it also means that you have a completely functional phone right now, just as if you had done the "battery pull" trick: your old OS is still there, and you can boot to it, even though you replaced your bootloader with the "God Mode" ("S-OFF") root bootloader.
So, I am torn, quite frankly, about telling you to continue to root. The problem you experienced might have happened if you were trying to root the phone in a partially discharged state... but it could have happened for a variety of other reasons, too.
Do you remember what % the battery was charged to before you put it in to HBOOT mode to try the rooting?

PS - The step your phone got stuck at (unpacking the Zip the 2nd time) normally takes a little bit longer than one minute. When other people talk about 5-15 minutes, they are talking about after the phone boots for the first time with the new OS - that part can take quite a long time, but the actual flashing of the phone only takes a couple minutes in total, and you see all the remainder of the shots from that other post (#5 - #9) within a few minutes.
