I solved this problem by taking the battery out of the handset, connecting it to Blackberry Desktop Software and updating the handset while it was off. It will prompt you to reconnect the battery to the handset, but by this time most of the update is already complete and it's restarted. I then backed up everything onto the PC.  it took around 125 minutes to do the whole thing. Not convenient but better than waiting 23 hours.

THINGS I HAVE TRIED VS. THINGS THAT HAVE WORKED. (#1) just wait for it (#2) alt-Aa-del: restart. (#3) restart while press a button (#4) plug into computer (#5) pull battery. >> RESULTS (#1) just wait for it: update started 10am Sunday. It is now 10pm Tuesday, no change. (#2) alt Aa del: phone restarts, then goes directly to frozen software update without letting me use it. (#3) restart while pressing a button: *NEW* White screen says JVH Error: 529. Continue. Black screen, white tiny hourglass. Eventually loads, goes to software update and then to blue screen "Blackberry ID sign in" and telling me my phone will be wiped. (#4) plug into computer: computer doesn't recognize blackberry. When it does, bb has started its frozen software update, and the computer controls can't do anything. (#5) pull battery: hasn't worked. Loads again, freezes at 12%. Alternative Options (A) bring phone to store: haven't done yet. (B) reset: would rather not do, haven't backed up data since I got it. Photos. Help!
