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!
explain the process you took to doing 3.0 update.
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.

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:
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.

Tried putting 2.0 back on again and its just stuck at the splash screen. This thing is killing me.
try doing 4.01 hybrid.
follow the directions from hacks mods thread. you can skip the combining maps and data this is already done with most upto date maps... though some states PIO are missing as i didnt need them, if you do ill explain how to get them on there if need be. let me know how it goes?

Ill give it a try tomorrow. Im using a mac by the way do you think that makes any difference?
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.

I tried the update and Im getting this message now. It looks as if everything went fine just that there is something corrupt in just this part of the folder somehow.
The message is on startup now rather then before only when I clicked on destination or maps.

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.
To just make sure you are in USA? It seems odd that your unit is giving this message.
Id go back to 2.0 where you were working properly after formatting MBR

So I followed the thread and everything is finally working again! Thanks a lot for your help I just need to update the maps and Im good to go. Thanks!
following which thread? 4.01 or 2.0?

To format the mbr then put 2.0 back on. I now have the lowest version of the maps can I just put the update from the pioneer website on or will it mess things up?
those arent map updates... they are just software updates. 3.0 was the next map update.
