How long should an SBF take?

[vbhokiefan]

Mine is at Status 1/18 flash mbm "allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin" with the result "in progress" and the progress arrows moving back and forth .

this has been this way for about 30 minutes now.

is this normal? figured it should be going 2/18 3/18 etc. lol

Don't really want to interrupt it either......

My (recent) experience has been that if it hasn't made it past step 1 in 15 minutes, it isn't going to. I've been there several times in the last couple of days, and closing RSD didn't hurt my phone. Be advised, though - I had terrible trouble with the process as a whole. This morning RSD got through the first 12 steps, successfully flashing several partitions, and failed on step 13 - the system partition. There is a thread in Droid 3 ROMs (I forget the name) with a post from me outlining what I had to do to make my phone functional again after that.

Thanks for everyone's input and suggestions. Mine never did finish, but I found Psouza's script on 2 other sites that uses moto-fastboot and it did the trick. Totally relieved to see that droid eye. Only downside is the market apps didn't reinstall automatically.
