I got a notification for AT&T Update (unlocked phone; don't have AT&T service) this morning and assumed this was the my phone trying to update OS. It rebooted itself then showed a screen with the android robot saying "DOWNLOADING... DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!'' And up in the left corner of the screen in super tiny font reads "COULD NOT DO NORMAL BOOT. ODIN MODE...". This screen has been on with no change for going on 3 hrs. I have tried turning phone off but it just reboots to same screen again. Same story when battery is taken out. Is it normal for it to be taking this long or has something went wrong? Is there any way possible to get my phone back on!? PLEASE HELP!!!
