  1. hey Jayce, thanks for the info. I D/L’d the Jellybean 4.3 update from Cyanogen and loaded the zip file onto my GN2. Following your directions, everything worked great…until I rebooted. Now my phone has been stuck with the spinning Cynaogen Mod image on the screen for about 45 minutes (http://tinyurl.com/orwmuzv).

    Am I stuck in bootloader? If so, how do I get out?
