usafguy69 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I recently updated to 3.0 and now the message that says "system startup in progress please wait" will not go away and the system reboots every few minutes. I also can't access the phone and the maps anymore. I've tried putting new maps and even putting 2.0 back on but nothing has worked so I just left 3.0 on and enjoy the three minutes of music. Map version says 2.0. pleasse help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tail24 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 explain the process you took to doing 3.0 update. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
usafguy69 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I put it into service mode and updated the wince files then rebooted it and booted into test mode. Then I deleted everything in the flash disk folder and transferred the files from the SD card over. When I click on the maps I get a language error message. This is what it looks like now.

tail24 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Have you done it again? Try doing it again with different set of 3.0 files from within torrent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
usafguy69 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Have you done it again? Try doing it again with different set of 3.0 files from within torrent yeah Ive tried everything putting back 2.0 and both 3.0 files and still this message: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tail24 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 It appears you made a mistake or your files are curupting between the two. Make sure SD card is freshly formatted and added in correctly. How long does it take to run file install? Last section would be to do the FormatMBR process and go back to 2.0. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tried putting 2.0 back on again and its just stuck at the splash screen. This thing is killing me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ill give it a try tomorrow. Im using a mac by the way do you think that makes any difference? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tail24 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 There have been discussions both ways as to if there is any effect to this. I always suggest using windows (I am a Mac person as well but use bootcamp to get windows for several things) to work on the Avic. Most people say there Mac does it just fine. And judging by how you got your unit unfrozen to 2.0 you should be okay. If 4.01 doesn't work I'd use the FormatMBR and go back to 2.0. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It looks as if everything went fine just that there is something corrupt in just this part of the folder somehow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
usafguy69 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 The message is on startup now rather then before only when I clicked on destination or maps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ive tried every logical thing for the past 4 hours and no matter what I do ill get the same message. When I put 2.0 on it will stay at the splash screen until you hit the menu button then it will bring you to the main menu without any messages but still no maps. When I put 3.0 on the system startup message doesn't go away and with both of these firmwares it shuts down every few minutes. With the 4.001 firmware I can't even access anything. Ive been doing some research on the formatMBR so I think I am being forced to give that a try tonight and leave 2.0 on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tail24 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 To just make sure you are in USA? It seems odd that your unit is giving this message. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
