[Q] Phone Frozen or Really Long Process?

---

EDIT: No idea how this was posted in the Accessories forum, I selected General when I posted. Mods please move this. My apologies.

I recently received an LG Esteem (yes, I know it's not the Revolution, but the phones are nearly identical). I tried to tether using the Internet Connection USB mode to my computer. It then went to a screen with the LG logo up top and a static sync logo followed by the text "Download is in progress. Do not disconnect cable."

It has been on this screen for an hour and a half now, and I am just not sure it's supposed to do this. Does anyone know what the issue could be? (No attempts at rooting or custom ROM's, all is bone stock). Any help is greatly appreciated!

That is download mode. Not sure why it went into it. If it does not reboot then it is bricked and can only be recovered using LGNPST, and considering they have not released the files for it I would try to get warranty.
