MK3 stuck in startup loop after upgrade to 3.9.0

I upgraded my firmware to 3.9.0 today, and now my printer is stuck in startup mode. Stats:

Prusa MK3

Windows 10

PrusaSlicer 2.2.0

Update file used: prusa3d_fw_MK3_3_9_0_3421.hex

I've searched the forum, but don't see anyone else with this problem with the MK3. Printer was working flawlessly yesterday, now I can't get it to work. Any help?

I've reverted back to 3.8.1 for now, and my printer is working again. But would still like to find out why I'm having an issue after flashing to 3.9.0.

So my printer is actually not working as it's saying to flash to 3.9.0. So I need to figure out what my issue is. This is from Pronterface:

RE: MK3 stuck in startup loop after upgrade to 3.9.0

Hi
I also have a problem installing firmware 3.90 on my mk3s + mmu2s, the firmware is installed but with an error (flash failed) and only in English, then it is not possible to change the language if I select Italian, it returns to the language selection menu in a loop.
the firmware I downloaded is this: prusa3d_fw_3_9_0_MK3S_1_0_6_MMU2S, and this is what I'm trying to install: prusa3d_fw_MK3S_3_9_0_3421.
For the moment I have returned to firmware 3.81 which works without good.

So I was able to go into Printer Settings (Advanced) and modified the Custom G-Code to remove the check for updated firmware, and now my printer is working again on v3.8.1. But would still like to know why I'm running into the issue when downloading and flashing to 3.9.0 as I would like to update eventually.

You can disable the checks for firmware, printer and nozzle or set them to warning only (continue after pause) in the printer setup menu.

@bobstro

I did that and reverted back to 3.8.1 and was able to print again. Still want to find out why my printer goes into an infinite startup loop after upgrading to 3.9.0.

@alessandro-m8

If I remember well I did had the same problem when I started in 3.8.1, impossible to switch to French, it was a loop. I just did flash again the same firmware to solve it.

Is it necessary to reinitialize EEPROM after upgrade?

Not always but it can be a good idea if you're running into inexplicable problems.
