Flashing Stock ROM - How long does it usually take?

Hello,
This is the first I've done this, so I'm wondering how long it usually takes?
I'm waiting for the Green Pass box to show. It has been an hour now.

I'm flashing the Stock ROM for verizon 5.1.1 on my used (but new to me) Galaxy Note 4. The .tar.md5 file once extracted is appx. 4gb. It is the correct file for the model. N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME.tar from sammmobile.
I'm using Odin 3.11.1.
The Log window currently shows:

<ID:0/005> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..

All appears fine on the phone. Still downloading/do not turn off target.

If something is wrong, what can I do?

Thanks.

In case it matters to you as to why I am doing this, I bought it used. It has a problem in 5.1.1 that I have seen many posts across multiple devices about it but no answer that works. I've tested them. Testing if it's the firmware install (last possible answer). The problem is when trying to view accounts, Settings crashes. I thought it was fixed after many resets, but now it does it again.
I have another VZ Note 4 where the OTA of Marshmallow seems to have fixed that problem, but I don't want to go there yet as I'm holding out hope of figuring out all the posts on bootloader unlock & permanent rooting at 5.1.1 and NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS after doing so. So far, all I've seen indicate that something stops working after doing so. Also, the King vs. Kingo Root back and forth is inconsistent, likely a matter of the phone. I tried with both. Kingo is the only one that worked, but it would cause settings to stop working, the phone to "stop" if the screen timed out (had to pull battery to power on again), and the last time it overheated the phone when I kept the display on dimmest possible after rooting with Kingo in order to try to install my Titanium apps/data backup before losing root on a restart. So, temp root on this device is seeming like I can't even do that to attempt the bootloader unlock/perm root process.. Chasing a pipe dream it seems with this Verizon model... :( I'm talking myself into sticking with the phone and ways to work around loosing root power. Of note, I care only about root and STOCK and no other ROM's.
