Minecraft won't update to 1.2.5?
I haven't played Minecraft on my laptop in a while, when I tried to play it just it told me there was an update, so I went to download it and it kept getting stuck on a random percentage. So I did what everybody would do and delete the .minecraft folder from Roaming, and re-downloaded Minecraft off minecraft.net, and still it keeps getting stuck on a random percentage. I have also tried force update 3 times and it gets stuck on a random percentage again.Help me!!
Ok, so I took the first guys advice and now, when trying to put the new minecraft.jar file into the bin folder, when running minecraft, i click no to the update and it just black screens me :|

it has something to do with java, try updating your java and see if it fixes it. If it doesn't the next thing to do is to just update it on another computer and transfer the files over via USB. If you can't do either of those then you're going to have to use an Alternative Launcher. I'm not sure why, but it worked for me when I used a different one Found here:http://www.technicpack.net/tekkit/ . I actually think that one is better because of all the different mods you can play with, of course it also has normal minecraft. Hope you find a solution for your problem :)
*EDIT* Oh! Just remembered something if you can find a downgrader some of them can update it for you, I can't remember what the one I used was called, but im sure you can just google 'Minecraft Downgrader' or something and find it

Whoever gave you that advice was wrong.
Keep all of your .minecraft folder, but within that there should be a folder called "bin", delete that, then open minecraft as normal, it should update then start

Try going into .minecraft, there will be a folder named "bin". Delete that, then go into your minecraft launcher, and log in. It will download a new bin, and it should be 1.2.5.
