Update: searched & tried 'sudo' before the bash command, makes no difference - the end sequence before it hangs, if it makes any difference, seems to be - the black screen with the warning telling you to lock your device comes up, the blue LED changes to red as the screen chages to a white background with the sont logo, the LED then chages to solid white, for around 5 mins, then it blinks white, don't know if this has any bearing but added it just in case.........
