most of the time when apps are being installed (specially with appman) there is a slight freeze which i believe is normal.
sometimes the "wait and see" option is needed, even if it seems like forever.

It shouldn't take more then half an hour and it's not that hard to do as it first seems. If you can't get into flashing mode, don't worry it will be done anyway.
